Life happens not all at once but one day at a time.
Many have become impatient with life. We hurry from one thing to another barely finishing what we were doing before running on to the next thing.

Yet they are the ones who most define our lives.
Take a moment out of your busy day to show patience with someone in your family today.

“It will change your life,” I say carefully, keeping my tone neutral.
“I know,” she says, “no more sleeping in on the weekend, no more spontaneous vacations…” But that is not what I meant at all. I look at my friend, trying to decide what to tell her.
I want her to know what she will never learn in child birth classes. I want to tell her that the physical wounds of child bearing heal, but that becoming a mother will leave her… Continue reading
“Day One” is a beginning. “Day One” of school . . . a diet . . . a new relationship . . . a rediscovered relationship . . . an exercise program . . . a new job. “Day One” is filled with enthusiasm, promise and possibilities. It is energized with a can-do mentality that nothing can get in the way of success. Barriers to the goal are non-existent or at least manageable.
Sometimes our “Day One” is sparked by a period of frustration and the need for change. It can offer us fresh start and a chance for a new beginning.
After the enthusiasm of “Day One” subsides the reality of our goal and its challenges set in. We allow the obstructions into focus and those obstacles… Continue reading
