Decisions Steer The Quality Of Our Lives -
Susan Thom (11,660)     
Susan Thom   
There are many decisions we make as babies and adolescents, and some do steer the quality of our lives. We may pull the iron down, and have a nasty scar forever. We may put the fingers that were just in our mouth, into the receptacle. We might pull a pot of boiling water over on us. All decisions... ( added 7 days 3 hours ago.) |
Born Into A Maze Of Minutes -
Susan Thom (11,660)
Susan Thom
I've always thought that life was a learning tool in preparation for a new life in Heaven. We are born, we are taught, we continue learning, and we die. Only, it doesn't appear to be that simple. Once we learn what we need to in order to converse and take care of ourselves, go to school... ( added 8 days 1 hour ago.) |
Our Desires Can Run Our Lives -
Susan Thom (11,660)
Susan Thom
Way back when we were kids, certain things caught our eyes and we asked mom, dad, grandma, aunts, whomever we knew, if they would buy this treasured item for us. It could be a kaleidoscope, a skateboard, a basketball, a certain doll, a football, anything we desired.
Our desires to own these... ( added 9 days 22 hours ago.) |

Ignorance Is NOT Bliss And It Can Dissipate In Time -
Susan Thom (11,660)
Susan Thom
When we say "ignorance is bliss", I disagree. To be unaware of what others are doing behind our back, or out of malice, leaves us vulnerable and unequipped. If someone is trying to take over our company, and we are ignorant to the takeover, we feel no bliss. We can, however, learn from our... ( added 14 days 8 hours ago.) |
Hurdling Through Our Lives -

E. Raymond Rock
Why can't my neighbors be nice people instead of idiots? Where have all the intelligent people in America gone? When I move out of here things will be better. If only I can stay here, things will be alright. Why can't she see how controlling she is. Why can't he keep a job, like other husbands?... ( added 22 hours 50 minutes ago.) |

Ken McCreless
Greetings Fellow Travelers ...
Question: Are you a jellyfish or a trout?
Picture if you will the cabbage head jellyfish. It's a creature that wants to go places. This gelatinous and see-through animal thrashes itself in motions that give the appearance of determination and direction.

The Beginning, the End and All That's In the Middle -

Checking back in the history of myself since I began writing, I can see that every inspiration came to me while I was engaged in some kind of water activity. Washing the dishes, taking a bath or shower, even giving Shummy (my Shar-pei) a bath. While doing the dishes this afternoon, I was struck... ( added 14 days 21 hours ago.) |
How To Fight Cynicism, Pessimism and Despair -
Joel Hirschhorn (2,924) 
Joel Hirschhorn
A lecture by a very wise 90 year old man made me appreciate that a common practice can help us all fight the pull of cynicism, pessimism and despair that thinking people inevitably feel when staying in touch with current national and global events.
It sounds simple but requires a habitual... ( added 15 days 6 hours ago.) |

Another year was recorded in the record books for my husband yesterday.
As part of the celebration, we put our kids to bed and watched a movie. Parents of young children know what a treat it is to just get to watch a grown up movie. We watched the movie 17 Again.
The movie spurred some... ( added 19 days 5 hours ago.) |

- Gabriella Gometra (504)  
Gabriella Gometra
Stress is something that we are all familiar with. But what do we do when it starts being too much to handle? How are we supposed to change our response to stress when it is so programmed, such automatic behavior that we're often not even aware that it is unproductive? I know that it is really...

I see his eyes sparkling in January frost;
They seem to be saying, "All is not lost Mom, all is not lost."
He wraps up my heart in a blanket of love,
When February chills descend from above.
When howling March winds shake the boughs on each tree,
I hear his voice shout,"... ( added 1 day 21 hours ago.) |
Thoughts on Relationships and Love -
Tex Norman (4,354) 
Tex Norman
Somehow, I got in my head some odd ideas about relationships and love. I still cling to some of these odd ideas. I want to list them so I can examine these ideas.
Love is a decision of the mind .
I got this idea that the term "falling in love" was wrong, it was bad. The term "falling... ( added 2 days 4 hours ago.) |

Has Love and Romance Changed Through The Years? Meeting On The Internet? Gameshows? -
Fran Larson (15,622)  
Fran Larson
Call me old-fashioned, but I would not go on some of these sites, such as E-Harmony in order to be romantically linked with another.

I suppose there comes a time in the life of every living human being when they face themselves in the mirror and ask, "Who are you?"
