Your Opinions Or Thoughts May Not Really Be Your Own
I was blown away once again today by how our minds work. It is amazing how thoughts can insidiously creep into your brain, wedge themselves in and make you believe it was your own thoughts and opinion all along. I am usually quite open, yet this once I can’t really share all the details because it’s not just my story. (My husband is now probably mumbling about why that’s never stopped me in the past regarding anything … Read entire article »

The Simplest Solution Is Usually Staring You In The Face
My first title was actually, “Sometimes it’s so simple you want to kick yourself”. I have had a MacBook for almost a year now. When it runs low on battery it is actually quite a pain. I have a desk I can work at, but I had no comfortable place to plug it in and work at the same time. I kept pushing off trying to figure out how to plug it in by the desk. … Read entire article »

It’s Okay To Feel Like A Doofus Once In A While
Well, I guess it’s befitting this title that I was even spelling dufus wrong until I went searching for an online definition of the word and found out that it’s spelled doofus. Found no doofus pictures so a dunce will have to do. For those who may not be familiar with the word, a doofus is a slow witted person, a dimwit, a stupid incompetent person or a person lacking intelligence or common sense. Now normally, I … Read entire article »

You Have Nothing To Lose By Asking
As part of my anti-procrastination fight, I have been trying to knock things off of my ever growing to do list. One of the things on my list was to try to get a better deal from the Cable TV company. (Actually what I really would love to do is get rid of the cable completely, but I would have to get rid of my husband as well. He won’t be parted from his sports.) The … Read entire article »

If You Need Energy, Consider Laughing
I have been exhausted lately. (And before anyone thinks to ask, no, I am not pregnant, I am just trying to fit 30 hours a day into 24.) Today was my day at school. I leave at 9am and get home almost 12 hours later. I love school. The classes are interesting, and I enjoy all the classes. Yet today, I was struggling to keep my eyes open and stay focused. My last class of the day … Read entire article »

You Need To Start If You Want To Finish
I am the Queen of procrastination. I am however getting a little better at not procrastinating. So why is it that a month after I bought replacement stickers for my mac laptop, I still have not stuck them all on? I don’t know if you can tell from this less than optimal picture (taken from my phone because my camera charger is on the fritz and I need to get a new one), but I have Hebrew … Read entire article »

A Birthday Is Just Another Day
I know that I have written in the past about birthdays and the importance of traditions. I do see the importance in traditions, especially where kids are concerned, or for people whom birthdays and occasions are really important. I am not really a birthday person. In fact, ask my husband. He will tell you that until recent years, I was an absolute nightmare to be around on my birthday. Nothing anyone could do or say would be … Read entire article »

We All Have Our Unique Filters
I think there is one thing almost everyone can agree upon, the fact that there no two people who are exactly alike. No two people view the world exactly the same, no two people feel exactly the same, no two people see things exactly the same and no two people hear things exactly the same. Each and every one of us is unique and therefore each and every one of us views life through our own unique … Read entire article »

Do and Be Instead of Planning
Today is January 1st. As you can imagine, everywhere you turn online you find another New Year’s Resolution. I am in two minds about resolutions and goal setting. On the one hand, I do believe that they can get you moving. On the other hand, I think we spend too much time talking and planning and not enough time being and doing. We plan and look into the future and don’t give enough attention to enjoying and … Read entire article »
