Just One Try And They Will Be With You

By Jay Shukla on October 02, 2013 / 4,114 views

I am sitting in the taxi fighting with my own arrogance and ego. I am extremely angry and lost as If there is no tomorrow.

But why I did this ? and that too just for a pity issue. I want to...

In The Closet

By Jodi-Ann E.M. Morgan on October 02, 2013 / 4,808 views

My mother showed me a picture of my high school self in one of my favorite dresses. She then made a bet with me that I could not fit into it anymore. Well, I was able to fit into it again [I may have struggled a bit but what mama doesn’t know won’t hurt her ;-)]. However, that wasn’t what was so wonderful. When I went to retrieve the dress from my closet I had to stop for a moment. That dress means a lot...

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 30, 2013 / 2,289 views

My daughter made her first attempt at cooking her great-grandmother's spaghetti sauce the other day and unlike her father she got it perfect the very first time. Using my Nana's family recipe she carefully mixed just the right amount of tomato juice, olive oil, garlic, parsley, bay leaves, salt, pepper, and sugar together and set it to slowly simmer for hours and hours while the sweet Italian sausage cooked in it as...

Have you ever done something that afterwards you were so embarrassed that you couldn’t begin to comprehend how you even thought of doing it? I have... several times... more than I’d like to admit. The most recent case in my string of what I term life’s faux pas had me thinking. Actually, it had me feeling worthless. Now and again I would feel rivulets of tears streaming down my cheeks. One day, while...

Try To Imagine A Life Without Timekeeping

By Chris on September 25, 2013 / 6,798 views

You probably can't. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall and on the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check his watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And because of this, man...

Soul Shine

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 23, 2013 / 6,024 views

If you have ever driven in the mountains on a cool, Autumn morning then you know what FOG is. I was rounding a curve today and drove right into a sea of this fog. I quickly slowed down and turned on my low beam headlights. Seeing the road ahead was now a struggle. The heavens above were gone and I felt like I had been transported into a shadow world. Everywhere I looked there was only a dismal grayness. Even the...

Subway

By The Coolest Kiddy Kat on September 17, 2013 / 2,189 views

Some lady went into Subway to order a sandwich. She didnt look like she was the best off. She had five small children with her, none of which even had shoes. She only wanted a $5.00 12-inch sandwich to split between herself and the children. Seeing that that was all she could afford, my dad stepped in. He told her, and all of the kids to get whatever the wanted along with chips, and drinks. She got teary eyed and...

YES

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 17, 2013 / 2,365 views

I find that the older I get the pickier I get about what I read. I just don't want to waste hours and hours of my life reading something that isn't going to enlighten, inspire, or entertain me. I can still remember the last time I walked into a book store at a mall. I glanced down the self-help section and was amazed at the number of books there. There were books to help you lose weight. There were books to help you...

The Day I Stopped Saying "Hurry Up"

By Rachel Macy Stafford on September 16, 2013 / 7,574 views

When you're living a distracted life, every minute must be accounted for. You feel like you must be checking something off the list, staring at a screen, or rushing off to the next destination. And no matter how many ways you divide your time and attention, no matter how many duties you try and multi-task, there's never enough time in a day to ever catch up. That was my life for two frantic years. My thoughts and...

Running Into His Arms

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 12, 2013 / 7,884 views

This life is so full of beautiful moments. All you have to do is open your eyes and your heart to see them. I saw one just the other day. The local elementary school had just let out and I found myself behind a school bus as I was driving home. The bus stopped by a house sitting on top of a hill. A little girl no more than 7 years old hopped down the bus steps and started running up the driveway toward the house....

Embrace Life's Most Frustrating Moments

By Connie Criscitello on September 11, 2013 / 7,826 views

Last week I locked my keys in my car not once, but twice! The second time it stressed me out so much, I actually started crying, thinking no one has luck this bad. Later that day I became curious about whether or not someone can actually have more bad luck than someone else, and did a little research on the subject. I learned 3 things from the brief research I did: 1. Everyone has these daily annoyances and no...
