Posted in Uncategorized on December 14, 2012 by Webmaster MikeToday is my last day as official KPBSD Webmaster.
After no small amount on consideration, I will be taking a new position with the Borough IT Department.
Thank you to each and every one of you. This last year with KPBSD has been filled with wonderful challenges, learning experiences, and of course amazing friendships.
My departure is decidedly bittersweet.
Please stay in touch.

Posted in Uncategorized on September 11, 2012 by Webmaster MikeIt’s strange how thoughts can be overwhelming at times. Perspective, it seems, is the most reasonable way to combat this.
Recently I read a friend’s thoughtful and insightful blog post, about how she was feeling down and going to visit a friend. She knew that her friend would be able to pull her from her funk. She then began to ponder this, and decided that it wasn’t quite right for someone else to hold the key to her happiness. Instead of dwelling on herself, she realized she was in control of her happiness, and made changes as she saw fit. I agree with her, in that it’s not right to let someone else control the way you feel. You are in control.
In the past, I’d try to look within myself to diagnose problems. If I was feeling down, I would wonder what I could do for myself to make me feel better.
Turns out, this is a terrible way to approach malaise.
The answer, it appears, is reaching outside of yourself, and helping others.
Serendipitously, others needing help are most always within reach.
Instead of being mired in your own thoughts, take a second to help another. One nice gesture, a thoughtful comment, or even something more involved, like volunteering for the community. There are so many wonderful organizations that need help everyday. It doesn’t need to be a huge time commitment – you can do this on a lunch hour.
Sometimes, this is so wildly successful at making one feel better that the very act of volunteering and helping others borders on a selfish act. But if you are indeed helping people, invariably it’s a win-win.
