…with myself! Have you done or said ‘something’ that had consequences that you hadn’t planned on and now you’ve ‘done it!’ Familiar? Been there before? We all have. Unfortunately this is one of those, ‘been there, done that, bought the sweatshirt’ realities. It’s not an unfamiliar feeling. Our decision is what to do not just with […]

   I believe that I am a great example that there really are second chances. Personally, I find this to be a terrific blessing. Well at least it’s a positive from my perspective. Wouldn’t want to speak for you, but I am always a candidate for the potential of second chances, especially when I’ve done

   What do you do, how do you feel when a project you’ve been working on is successfully accomplished? Basking a few moments in the satisfaction that you have completed it is quite acceptable and I would think – mandatory. However, when basking becomes excessive, this is as useless as wallowing in other more negative

  There’s no value determination regarding which is the ‘best’, to the question, merely an inquiry as to which style reflects your preference. And if you say you are not a runner, this has little to do with running rather with action preference. The definitions I’m using as that a sprinter type is quick off

  “Into each life a little rain must fall.” Inevitable. Actually this line was penned by Longfellow. The last part in this short poem is: “Be still, sad heart! cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some

  Whenever you hear those words – run! OK, maybe that is a bit of an over reaction, but when you haven’t sought someone’s opinion and they are offering it – maybe not. Question though is – do you do this? Especially with your family and friends? Most people are quick to offer advice and

  You do realize that your actions have consequences, don’t you? Both good and bad. Every word, every act we say/do results in some form of consequence. I don’t remember, when I was a child growing up, a large number of ‘nos’ from my parents. And no, they were totally enamored by my brother and
