The Gift of Sadness

By LLBarkat on  From greeninventionscentral.blogspot.com
Once I did a post on the emotion anger . To this day (with the exception of a blogjacked post ), it holds the record for the most comments. People had strong feelings about anger . They also demonstrated fear, confusion and guilt. From the way our culture deals similarly with sadness, I'd say we're a people who haven't embraced the gift of emotions. Instead, we're tempted to distract ourselves or medicate. Alternately, we could see our anger, sadness, fear and so forth as gifts— signs that...Read Full Story

Independence

By royaldragon on  From barbaramarynowski.blogspot.com
On July 4, 2008, my mom celebrated arriving in America 45 years ago! When my dad came here the first American thing he saw was the Statue of Liberty. How's that for an impression! The story they have is pretty amazing, I think. I can only imagine how they must have felt being kids in a new country and having to start a new life. The closest I've come is moving to a new city and that was challenging enough! Independence means many things - her story highlights the physical aspect of being able...Read Full Story

This past week, I began trying the advice I gave myself in The Gift of Sadness : spend more time in God's presence, with his creation and with people.

Reading this book is a form of being with my kids (how they love to snuggle and laugh together!). It's also part of my effort to mix it up with regards to what I read (I tend towards...Read Full Story

Who Are You Doing It For?

Sometimes we do things that turn out to be a bit odd and not what we’d intended. An idea seems absolutely terrific in our own head but then when we work to give it a shape in the outside world, we get quite defensive when people suggest the idea needs tweaking. Government is an easy target for examples of odd implementation. Nevertheless, one example I came across today deserves a mention. Dubai launched its first Metro a couple of months ago to tackle the enormous problem of traffic...Read Full Story

I’m not going to die until I finish all my books

By paradoxofreality on  From paradoxofreality.com
I’ve always been a bookworm and I have thousands of books – fiction and non-fiction. Recently my husband observed I had a lot of unfinished books lying around. “Huh?” I said. I hadn’t noticed this but for many months, I’ve been leaving the last chapter of every book unread. The book simply “fizzles out” when I get near to the end and I start on a new one. I thought this was very curious but didn’t think anything of it until I suddenly remembered a two minute “event” that had happened...Read Full Story
