Didn't

For the first time in a while I stopped early in the morning with just a cup of coffee in my favorite sitting place, my dog by my side and just didn't...

Didn't ponder work.

Didn't work on a to do list.

Didn't even turn on the morning news.

I just didn't! No dids for me... not yet anyway.  They will come... I have a list... but not right now.

Right now I am just gonna don't and enjoy it for just a little longer.  Then I will do again.

Try it some time.

Good morning fellow don't-ers!

However,  we have to be cautious to not be comba

As i mentally prepare to dig into this study, I am forced to ponder how this study is so relevant to what is going on in the world. I have so many concerns for what all these young adults are facing and my fear is that they will not be grounded enough to withstand the torrent of these times that they will face. As I watch the news every day, I am baffled by the insanity of a culture seeking to bury the truths that were the building blocks of its foundation while at the same time offering no replacement for it other than a me-centered philosophy wrought with hostility and abusive intolerance! Forget the polarity between liberal and conservative ideology; we have become a country full of dissensions and schisms that prohibit free or independent thinking...some day it will be the right to speak that that will no longer be fr
