How to improve myself and the world around me so it will be better
for my (and others) children.
How it would feel to be in love again and planning for future
travels.
What I have to teach my children so they will be kind and succesful

How ironic and funny it is that I have a masters in education and I

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings
butshorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We
spend more,but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have
bigger houses andsmallerfamilies, more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but lesssense,more knowledge, but less
judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less
wiliness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too
recklessly,laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up
too late, getup too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and
pray too seldom.We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our
values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added
years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon
and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new
neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space.
HOW TO STAY YOUNG 1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes
age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is
why you pay him/her.2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches
pull you down.3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer,
crafts, gardening,whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind
is the devil'sworkshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.4.
Enjoy the simple things.5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until
you gasp for breath.6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move
on. The only person who iswith us our entire life, is ourselves. Be
ALIVE while you are alive.7. Surround yourself with what you love,
whether it's family, pets,keepsakes, music, plants, and hobbies,
whatever. Your home is yourrefuge.8. Cherish your health: If it is
good, preserve it. If it is unstable,improve it. If it is beyond
what you can improve, get help.9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a
trip to the mall, to the next county, to aforeign country, but NOT
to where the guilt is.10. Tell the people you love that you love
them, at every opportunity. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not
measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that
take our breath away.
I also think about if all the expectation our culture holds to
finding a partner and lover and friend are unreachable? Why cant
people accept each other for who they are and love someone for all
the good things if thier lives. a good relationship is based on
perfection or on "saving or changing" another person, but on
helping and honoring and loving them for who they are.
