The Little Things By Jason Marshall I have long considered myself an overthinker. Don’t ask me why. Seriously. Don’t. You’ll send me spiralling me into an afternoon of analysis paralysis. With overthinkers, there are no easy answers for seemingly simple questions. Is it an age thing? Good question. Let me analyze it. Process it...

The Little Things By Jason Marshall It never ceases to amaze me how life can change in an instant. There are no guarantees. No agreed-upon timelines. Just tears. Laughs. And the moments in between. Life is fragile. It’s fleeting. And usually it takes someone losing theirs for you to truly appreciate your own. The ironic part is...
The Little Things By Jason Marshall Here I sit at the cottage on a cool September morning, coffee in hand, staring out the window at the lake below. I’m the only one awake on a day designed for sleeping in. There’s an earthy smell as rain pelts the pine needles. The drops are tap-tap-tapping on the tin roof as the waves...
We live in a time of information overload. And honestly, it scares me. Navigating through today’s society is challenging enough without an online world where fact and opinion are muddled together. There is no clear line separating the two—and that’s beyond dangerous. Social media is littered with uninvited opinions, judgments...
The Little Things By Jason Marshall It’s just another day. At least it has been for the past 35 years. The last time I bought a Father’s Day card, Ronald Reagan was in the White House and Crocodile Dundee was showing the world what a real knife should look like. My dad passed away the summer I turned 17 and since then I’ve had...
The Little Things By Jason Marshall I write a few words. Delete them. Write a few more. Erase those too. My writer’s eye is on Mother’s Day, but I can’t focus. I want to eloquently tell the world the impact my mom has had on my life, but the words won’t come. My brain is abuzz, but with rapid-fire squirrel moments. A blank...
If it wasn’t, I’d be sharing my thoughts with you through drawings on a cave wall. The pictures would show you my fascination for how technology has transformed the way we behave and function. Our quality of life has been enhanced on so many levels that it’s mind boggling. Healthcare innovations. The way the world communicates...
The Little Things By Jason Marshall Boys play hockey on a frozen lake on a winter sunny daySome things in life defy explanation. The worst of these mysteries are also stressors. Look at winter. On the calendar it’s three months long. Same as spring. Fall. And summer. So why is there a dreadful feeling it will never end? The...
‘Tis the season. And if you’re a kid, ‘tis the season of receiving.’ Little Jason had a laser focus on presents from the moment the Sears Christmas Wish Book crossed the threshold of the Marshall house. Page corners were bent. Toys circled in Magic Marker. And the catalogue could be found strategically placed on the kitchen...
The Little Things By Jason Marshall The human mind is a mystery. Especially mine. I went to the store to get three things yesterday: milk, bread and butter. Who needs a written list when there are only three items to pick up? Evidently, I do. I came home with chocolate milk, bacon and a small cheesecake. The mystery of my brain...
