THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MR. ROGERS
In times of stress, the best thing we can do for each other is to listen with our ears and our hearts and to be assured that our questions are just as important as our answers. -Fred Rogers TO LEAVE A COMMENT SCROLL DOWN
ONE DAY AT A TIME IN AL-ANON JUNE 7TH
Suppose, in taking a break from my whirling thoughts, I settle down quietly to think about the word “courtesy.” It means far more than mere politeness; you can be polite without an iota of personal love, warm concern for the other person’s comfort, peace of mind, and well-being. Even giving directions to a confused strangerContinue reading “ONE DAY AT A TIME IN AL-ANON JUNE 7TH”

I GOT YOU!!!
I got into it with a rehab facility lady from a different city. I’m not going to mention the facility name, but if you don’t like your job and have no compassion for people, you should find a different job.

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MR. ROGERS
Forgiveness is a strange thing. It can sometimes be easier to forgive our enemies than our friends. It can be hardest of all to forgive people we love. Like all of life’s important coping skills, the ability to forgive and the capacity to let go of resentments most likely take root very early in ourContinue reading “THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MR.

Grief Runs Deep: Where Is the Hope?
Dr. Joseph Stowell says, “Even though your heart is breaking and tears are clouding your eyes and staining your cheeks, God does give us something worth trusting in tough times. And that’s Him, and Him alone.” When your heart is breaking, you can place your hope and trust in the Lord. “Be strong and takeContinue reading “Grief Runs Deep: Where Is the Hope?”
SPREAD LOVE AND NOT HATE
I envy the fact that others have good night kisses and talk about their day with their children. I got sick, and someone decided I wasn’t good enough for my children. Maybe I wasn’t at that moment in time, but I got better, and I am good enough. I was always good enough; I justContinue reading “SPREAD LOVE AND NOT HATE”
Grief Is a Unique Experience
You may feel it is useless to talk about your grief because no one truly understands what you are going through. “You sometimes feel after an experience like this that you’re talking a foreign language,” says Dora, whose daughter died. “You feel like there’s no way anybody can know what you’re feeling.
