You got to have fun You got to have life You got to hang tough when life throws you trouble for it’s your attitude that counts When you take a fall, you got to take it all in stride or it’ll tear you apart All the whining and complaining won’t do you any good It’ll only make you feel worse and make people not want to be around you The best thing I’ve found is…
The definition of suffocation, according to Google’s dictionary feature, is the state or process of dying from being deprived of air or unable to breathe. But what is very surprising to most people is that the intense urge you feel to breath when you are holding your breath, or when you are underwater, is not because your body is starving for oxygen. The instinct to breath is actually caused by carbon dioxide receptors in your…
I seem to have entered another time in my life when “why” is the thought of most days. And unlike in my youth when I really expected an answer, I think as an adult, when I hear myself utter this question, I know that it is time to reflect on the issue and search for my own answers. The short version of the current need for contemplation is a set of challenges for myself and…
We all lose our temper from time to time or become upset with another person. And we also all know, somewhere deep down, that we need to be able to process that feeling and put it behind us. Holding onto anger is much like holding a hot piece of coal in your hand. The longer you hold on to it, the more damage that it does to you, and only you. Just like your…
It’s always difficult to face the reality of a parent’s illness. Most children grow and thrive within the warm, protective sphere known as a loving parents care. And even when the relationship has been difficult or dysfunctional, there still seems to be a connection of more than simply genetics.

I had chosen this piece of music for my brother, Ryan. It was his favorite Mahler symphony. The theme of the symphony is resurrection. Like Martha from the John 11 Bible passage, my family had the faith to believe in the future resurrection of my brother’s soul but we’re wrestling with the faith that his seemingly lifeless…
Everyone experiences trying times in his or her life. And on many of those occasions, human nature takes over, and we mentally utter what might be the oldest question in the history of mankind, “Why?” Sometimes, it is said in a truly puzzled tone and other times it is snarled in a voice demanding an instant answer, and an apology, from the universe.

Dreams Some big, some small They are made by every one of us Whether we want to make just a slight change or a profound one, there is always this desire to improve our lives. The most important thing is, do we have the courage to do what it takes to make our wishes come true? Do we have the confidence? Yes, we do.

Age is not something that I used to think a lot about. But as I am approaching what the rest of the world seems to view as a major milestone, I have found myself dwelling a bit on just what it means to turn 50. Admittedly, I am secretly a huge fan of Peter Pan. I relish the idea of never growing up and remaining unshackled by the parameters of age. I never want…
