Questions from Kids at Bedtime
I had to write this down before I forgot…
As I was tucking the girls into bed last night, they begged me to lay down and snuggle for a few minutes. So I crawled into the double bed in the middle – and their arms flopped over my back. One stroked my hair. The last few days have been sunny. Their skin is glowing and their cheeks are pink. We laid there quiet for a minute and I marvelled at their beautiful dark eyes gleaming back at me.
In the dusky blue of the room, my nine year says, “Mom, would you rather… eat peanut butter off the toe...

“When I do good, I feel good;
when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.”
Apparently Abraham Lincoln said that.
Chock it up to values.
Religion.
Principles.
Morals.
Whatever.
It’s very basic.
Do good. Feel good.
Do bad. Feel bad.
It ain’t rocket science, people. Take it any way you want. Apply the philosophy to relationships, self and careers. It lends itself to global warming, oilspills and animal abuse. It is appropriate behaviour for lower, middle and upper classes.
I tend to be a sponge. I can, very easily, soak up the negative energy of...

The past month has been extremely difficult for me. As time moves on, I seem to be sinking into a depression just a little more each day.
About 2 weeks ago I realized that something just wasn’t right, and it wasn’t “just one of those days.” Again, it was so much more.
When depression starts to set in, for me, motivation seems to be the first thing to go out the window. As you can see by the lack of my blogging, my motivation was long gone. Not only has blogging been none existent,...

A lesson in living one day at a time
Written by Sybil F. Partridge
1. Just for today I will be happy.
This assumes that what Abraham Lincoln said is true, that “most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” Happiness is from within; it is not a matter of externals.
2. Just for today I will try to adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires.
I will take my family, my business, and my luck as they come and fit myself to them.
3. Just for today I will take care of my body.
I will exercise it, care for it, nourish it, not abuse it...

Photo: New Line CinemaWhy I’ll Always Love the Thin Gruel That is Sex and the City
I’ve watched countless years worth of Academy Awards and rarely ‘get’ what makes a ‘Best Picture’ – to me it’s never ’the best.’ Nor is it the picture I enjoy the most. Quite often its some obscure, overly artistic and complicated view (there are exceptions) at film-making and storytelling.
Yesterday’s paper had a front page headline “Empty Sex” to intro Roger Ebert’s review of Sex and the City 2, a movie I will hunker down...
