It’s a good day to get out of your comfort zone.

Whether the day is sunny, stormy, or just overcast, this day — and every day — is a good time to get out of your comfort zone.

Sketch of a weatherman saying it's a great day to get out of your comfort zone!"

I’ve thought a lot about comfort zones when I left everything I knew in Indiana and moved across the country to Arizona. The Spear family had many opportunities in 2015 to get out of their comfort zones.

And that’s a good thing. Like this Lifehacker post about the science of breaking out of your comfort zone shows, amazing results happen when you disrupt your routine and break out of your comfort zone.

Veterinary Hazards Cartoon

Every workplace has safety considerations. This veterinary hazards cartoon illustrates a potential challenge when vets care for pets.

Veterinary Hazards Cartoon. A boy says, "The problem with having a piranha is it's hard to find a willing veterinarian."

Apparently, animal-inflicted injuries are only part of the hazards a veterinarian faces. Here is a list of the top five hazards veterinary staff face. The one that surprised me is back injuries. But of course, pets can be a squirming, uncooperative challenge. At least you wouldn’t have that problem with a piranha!

Life Can Be as Messy as a Stinky Diaper

In the early stages of parenting, a stinky diaper is the worst thing that can happen. As your kids get older, other stinky things occur. Yes, life can be as messy as a stinky diaper!

  • You’re not quite sure if the friend your child is hanging with is a good influence.
  • You’ve overcommitted and now you and your spouse are supposed to be at four different events at the same time.
  • You’ve stretched the checking account so far you could make a lethal slingshot out of it.

It doesn’t take much imagination to see the problems and distractions around us. The bigger challenge is to address the messy situations before they get out of control.

Packed for VBS Cartoon

Since the first word of VBS suggests we’re going on a vacation. I had some fun with the ideas and drew this Packed for VBS cartoon.

Packed for VBS Cartoon: A boy says, "Thanks for inviting me to vacation Bible school. I'm all packed!'

When you think about it, vacation Bible school is false advertising. After all, shouldn’t it be called staycation Bible school? This isn’t an all-inclusive vacation to Cancun. We can try to use props to make the sanctuary look like a jungle or the Holy Land. But we’re not fooling anyone over six years old.

No Cat Scans Cartoon

No, I am not the guy in this cartoon. My wife and I have a cat. I love cats and dogs. So this “No Cat Scans Cartoon” is simply based on cranky people.

No cat scans cartoon: A man says, "I hate cats! I want a dog scan."

Just for the record, I like cats too. Over the years, we’ve had one of each at our house. Yes, we were equal opportunity pet owners.

We used to have a dog, but she passed on to doggie heaven and we’re left with the feline. There are plus and minuses for each type of pet. I don’t have to walk the dog in subzero weather. Then again a cat leaves plenty of messes to clean up. It’s a toss-up!
