Women and Men: It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, No?
First off, I fell off the wagon with blogging. My life took one of those sudden 180 degree turns, unfortunately, right in the middle of the Week of Positive Blogging, which I couldn’t finish. I had to make some major life decisions, drop everything and turn my 100% focus on them. Ah, life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans. Sometimes it’s “yay” and other times it’s “nay.” The nice thing is that eventually, even out of a “nay” situation you can come up with some “yays.”
Love & Marriage From A Kid’s Point of View
Forgive me, this is from an email from a friend, but there are so many funny gems here about how kids view love and marriage, I just had to post them. It seems that kids develop some pretty sophisticated opinions even at an early ageāsome of these are spot on! You might be surprised at what they pick up from their parents and other married couples. How do you think that your kids would answer these questions? Why not ask them a few and please share their answers here!
A True Leap of Love
How many ways are you encouraged to live a fearful life? TV and magazine ads tell us we must avoid bacteria and use bacterial wipes (which are rather ineffective according to many reports), pills are offered for every type of ache and pain in our bodies with a yard-long list of side effects, we should worry about not having enough money for retirement, pet food is contaminated, toys have lead…the list is endless. While we don’t think that we absorb all of these fears on a conscious level, our subconsious is storing all the fear, worry and anxiety stories for us. We wonder why we get used to doing the same ‘ol, same ‘ol. Society is programming us to be fearful and we wind up only doing things that are “safe” without questioning what the cost of this so-called safety is taking from our full embracing of life and all its possibilities.
Date Night Without The Kids
Having children has brought unbelievable joy (and pain, worry and anxiety) into your relationship. Not only do you juggle your jobs, but depending on the age of your children, lose sleep every night, are running around taking your kids to after school activities, planning weekend trips with the kids, cheering them on through everything and anything, and all the 1,000,001 things it takes to keep your family healthy and happy.
How To Commemorate a Milestone Anniversary
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary (Diamond Anniversary) on November 20th. Married in 1947 at Westminster Abbey, HRH is the first monarch to celebrate 60 years of marriage. And for that, they will be honored with a public holiday and a commemorative issue of stamps and a silver coin. Well, 99.99% of us will not receive a public holiday for a milestone anniversary but what can the royal couple possibly give each other? After all, she already is the Queen and she owns the Crown Jewels…it doesn’t get much better than that. The royal couple did what many couples do to spread the love: they began their celebration recently by attending a charity auction dinner to raise money for a Gorleston hospital. And yes, their romance endures.
