The First Choice!
The First Choice! Often we allow Life to make our first choice of the day for us! It happens one day, then the next, then the next and then . . . well it becomes habitual! It’s almost like we get up in the morning and allow life to give us instructions like this: “OK, […]
One Never Knows!
One Never Knows! In the blink of an eye! At the drop of a hat! That’s exactly how long it can take for life to change completely! Instantly! No warnings! Boom! Just like that! We’ve all had those moments in life when, from out of nowhere, life beans us with a curve ball that doesn’t […]
We Are The Ones!
Waiting! Don’t you just love waiting? We wait in line; we wait for a table; we wait for a compliment; we wait for a raise; we wait for a sign; we wait for the “right time;” we wait for a kiss; we wait for a hug; we wait for a raise; we wait . . […]

When In Doubt . . .
Doubt! How do you handle doubts when they crop up? Do you treat them as irritants? Do you allow them to immobilize your thoughts or actions? Do you give them more power than they deserve? Do you listen to the warnings sometimes imbedded in them? All too often we tend to treat Doubt as if […]

A Single Conversation . . .
The Value of Wisdom! While reading this morning, I ran across a rather intriguing Ancient Chinese Proverb. It says, “A single conversation with a wise man is better than ten years of study!” Ponder THAT one for a moment! A single conversation! I can identify with that statement! I can count on two hands the […]
