“I Am Not Tolerating Any Nonsense In 2013.”

“Look For A Place To Hide … Oh Really”

Gone were the days when I used to say to my children as they head out to school, “See you later … Have a nice day … I love you so much… I added … LOOK FOR A PLACE TO HIDE!... Oh Really… Teachers in some AMERICAN SCHOOLS are going to be packing … They are going to have loaded guns so where can our children hide if one of them is a —LUNATIC!…

We’re never so vulnerable than when we trust someone - but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy. ― Walter Inglis Anderson (1903-1965)

I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have life itself. ― Walter Inglis Anderson (1903-1965)

True hope dwells on the possible, even when life seems to be a plot written by someone who wants to see how much adversity we can overcome. True hope responds to the real world, to real life; it is an active effort. ― Walter Inglis Anderson (1903-1965)

“Be On The Alert”

On your journey through life, you are going to meet an Adviser so you should …

“Be on the alert when one proffers advice. Find out first of all what he wants. For he may be thinking of himself alone; why should the profit fall to him? He may tell you how good your way will be, and then stand-by to watch your misfortune. Seek no advice from one who regards you with hostility; from those who envy you, keep your intentions hidden. Eccl. 37:8-10

My brother died. My other brother’s wife passed. 2012 ended with lots of tears for us.
