Lifelong Learning Matters

By Glory Fu on February 22, 2017 / 6,971 views

Is it necessary to learn when we are 50s, 60s or even 70s? Most people consider when they get retired, they are supposed to be completely laidback, do something fun, or hang around. However, the truth is that learning makes us vigorous, and self-fulfilled; it’s particularly important to the elderly. Through learning, we know how to think, how to memorize, how to ask questions and even how to...

Death Is On The Corner

By Sonia Kaur on February 22, 2017 / 4,624 views

You never know when you have to die, not even in the morning of your last day, no even the last minute of your life and we have forgotten death even I have also forgotten. Whenever we talk about death life is also mentioned, when we talk about life one question arises in my mind that are we truly living or just passing the days of life? “Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what...

Late Valentine

By Terri Rimmer on February 20, 2017 / 5,758 views

Stopped off at Kroger and as usual this time of year, saw the Girl Scouts selling cookies as I have about 3-4 times this month but can't buy any. I was a scout so it always touches my heart. This time when I was going in one of them was really hamming it up trying to sell cookies which was so cute. As I was headed out with my stuff, I was behind a guy who was buying a single red rose and I thought,...

Just Need To Tell Someone, I've Been Sober For A Year!

By HangryHangryHedgehog on February 18, 2017 / 2,055 views

I am proud of myself. Celebrating with cinnamon bears, feelgood movies on netflix and the pets are rolling in food comas from treats. I didn't really tell anyone. I went cold turkey. I was spiraling down a black hole of depression and anxiety. I felt like I was losing my mind. It was hard, but I've done it. I am going to keep going as well. This was a lifetime...

Smile

Today my 14 year old son and I held a yard sale. He was reluctant and stayed on his phone most of the time. Then a mother and daughter came up, clearly troubled, and the mother told me her daughter was diagnosed with cancer 3 days ago. Her daughter asked my son how much a stuffed bear was. My son looked right at her and said "give me the biggest smile you got." The little girl gave that...

You'll Love Me Later

By Joseph J. Mazzella on February 16, 2017 / 3,095 views

I was in a local store recently when I saw something that opened a window into my soul and let in a little more light. I had just picked up some shampoo and was headed to the pet supplies to get some more dog food for my furry friends. I decided to take a shortcut through one of the toy aisles. Blocking my way, however, was a young father and his four year old daughter. The little girl was pleading with her...

From Homeless To Hired In Less Than 6 Months

By Tanni on February 14, 2017 / 2,174 views

'D' was hired to do a job but disappeared with the money for supplies. Tried contacting him through people, phone, home. Nothing. Chalked it up to a hard lesson learned. After a week and half, 'D' shows up with supplies. He spent most of the money but said he was ready to go to work. No apologies or explanation. Anger was my first inner reaction but forgiveness was the action. Come to find out...

Connected

By Joseph J. Mazzella on February 13, 2017 / 6,851 views

One of my earliest memories was watching my Mom talk on our old rotary dial telephone. I was fascinated that she was talking to someone who wasn’t actually in the room with her. When she finally hung up and left the room I slowly walked over to the phone and stared at it for a minute. Then I gently reached down and picked up the receiver. When I put it to my ear I was shocked to hear voices still...

A List Of Things To Always Remember

By Sunny Skyz on February 10, 2017 / 3,858 views

Always be thankful. Life could be worse. Never stop trying. Never stop believing. Never give up. You are only going to be as good as the people you surround yourself with, so be brave enough to let fo og those who keep weighing you down. Count your blessings, not your troubles. Growth is painful. Change is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere...

I Guess That Will Do?

By Jim Rohn on February 09, 2017 / 5,332 views

It seems that every life form on this planet strives toward its maximum potential…except human beings. A tree does not grow to half its potential size and then say, "l guess that will do." A tree will drive its roots as deep as possible. It will soak up as much nourishment as it can, stretch as high and as wide as nature will allow, and then look down as if to remind us...

Not Done Yet

By Joseph J. Mazzella on February 07, 2017 / 3,431 views

Life is full of miracles. They surround us every day. One of these miracles happened to me recently. I was filling my car’s tank at a local gas station. It was only 10 A.M. but I already felt tired. It was a cloudy, gloomy and rainy day and I hadn’t slept well the night before. After I paid for the gas I turned my car towards the main road. I looked right and left then my brain sent the signal for...

The Super Bowl Taught Me An Invaluable Lesson

By Tim on February 06, 2017 / 5,392 views

This Super Bowl taught me an invaluable lesson: Just because you're down so much, and have people counting you out...that if you live in the present moment, and take it step-by-step, you can overcome the odds. For anyone who watched, you saw what happened at halftime. When the Patriots were down 21-3 we were reminded by the commentators that no team in Super Bowl history has overcome a 10 point...

Broken Wings

By Najwa Zebian on February 05, 2017 / 9,184 views

Don't break a bird's wings and then tell it to fly. Don't break a heart and then tell it to love. Don't break a soul and then tell it to be happy. Don't see the worst in a person and expect them to see the best in you. Don't judge people and expect them to stand by your side. Don't play with fire and expect to stay perfectly...
