Persistence, tenacity, determination are all admirable traits. Certainly no one wants to be a “quitter” yet there are times when sticking around is not the answer. Sometimes the most proactive thing we can do is to just stop what we’re doing and move on to something else.

Time is one of our most valuable resources. It surrounds us, moves through us; yet waits for no one. It’s what defines our beginnings and our ends; and what we fill it up with, is what we get out of our lives. As we get older, it becomes even more valuable.

It doesn’t sound right, to just “set and go.” “Get ready…” always comes before those… yet all too often we don’t really take the time to prepare. We use the excuse that we “don’t have time” and just plunge head first into whatever it is we’re doing.

We often think that because we no longer see the monsters under the bed that we've somehow outgrown our fear as we got older. It's probably truer though that we've become MORE afraid, not less. Sure we've learned not to reach for that boiling pot of water, but when did we become afraid to explore the world around us?

It's so easy to let a moment go by. One slipped by just as you read the last sentence. And it isn't until something drastic happens that we realize how precious each one really is.

But there's still time.

It’s not an easy thing to do; especially when we’re taught to have strong beliefs about right and wrong. Everything around us stirs up some sort of opinion. Yet the most freeing thing we can do for ourselves - and others - is to live our lives without judgment.

"Mind your own business" has gotten a bad rap over the years. Most people use it to mean "butt out!" but really, if we spend more time minding our own business, just imagine how much further we can get in Life.

You ready??? It doesn’t sound right, to just “set and go.” “Get ready…” always comes before those… yet all too often we don’t really take the time to prepare. We use the excuse that we “don’t have time” and just plunge head first into whatever it is we’re doing.

Not the way I want to live

Left without answers.

Perception is NOT Reality.

My husband abuses alcohol and tobacco and I'm concerned...

This is my first Valentines with "Kevin" after breaking up with "Jason." I'm excited, but scared.
