Grateful

For my health. Because mom is right: Health is the most important thing. With ill health, it's very difficult to enjoy life and to focus on anything other than one's ill health. For my husband, who is also my best friend and biggest supporter. I'm still at awe whenever I think of how we met, narrowly escaping never meeting at all. Fate? Perhaps. Luck? For sure. I'm the luckiest woman in the world to share this journey with you.

Too Cool for Halloween?

MomGrind — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 12:00:30 +0000

I'm old, I know. My opinion doesn't really count and I "don't get it." Or maybe I do. I was a preteen once. It wasn't 200 years ago, although admittedly it was two and a half decades ago. I then went on to being a teen. Believe it or not, we rebelled too. We too felt that our parents were clueless. We too worried about being accepted by friends and being popular (which is the word we used back then, before "cool" was invented).

Your Life, As It Is Right Now, Forever. Do You Take This Deal?

MomGrind — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 12:00:39 +0000

Ever since I can remember, I was trying to figure out if I am happy. It's stupid, really - this insistence on determining if I am happy in general (as opposed to experiencing moments of happiness). The older I grew, the less I preoccupied myself with the "Happiness" question, simply because I became way too busy. Yesterday I met with a dear friend, and thanks to him, I now have the best gauge I have ever had for answering the Happiness question. That friend is unhappy with his life and feels that he needs to make changes.

Why Do You Like Me?

A few weeks ago, one of the people I enjoy the most on the Internet, Wesley Smith, posted a message on his Facebook Wall saying: "If you 'like' this status, I'll post on your wall something that I like about you." And he did! He got 13 "likes" and while I'm not sure what he wrote on other people's walls, I know what he wrote on mine: "I absolutely love your writing style, and I love that you think about things and live your life actively rather than passively. I also love that you care a lot about your kids." Despite thinking about myself as a little cynical, not very emotional, a person who prefers thinking to feeling, I not only blushed profusely upon reading his words, but also felt all warm and fuzzy inside - in a very, very good way.

I found this Twitter account today when searching for accounts to follow for a client. Loved it. What a smart guy.

Fat People Not Welcome

The dating site "Beautiful People," where members can "guarantee their dates will always be beautiful" has recently expelled thousands of members for gaining too much weight during the holidays, explaining that "letting fatties roam the site" is against the company's business model.

Did you know that the top New Year's resolution for most people in the U.S, year after year, is "lose weight?"
