"It's not a problem, only an inconvenience"

, , , , , ,
I have to admit it.  My husband, Jim, is the smartest person I know. We've been married since 1988 and together since 1983.  He's always been there.  My rock.  The guy who puts up with me and my crazy ideas.  Although he still cringes…

The Serenity Prayer - A Challenge

, , , , , ,
Did you ever wonder where the Serenity Prayer came from or what the intention was when it was written?  I googled and found this on a website  http://www.thevoiceforlove.com/serenity-prayer.html  and I have reposted, as follows: Serenity…

I've been reading The Everyday Entrepreneur written by Rob Basso.  Chapter 5 was one in which I found myself reflecting on things I have been working on or thinking about, and wanted to share. The chapter started off with pensive statements…

So, the book review continues, you can read on here or join in on the forum -- I'd love to start some real dialogue.  As timetoplay.com (by the way the new website layout will be up this week) is my quest for quality of life, I believe many,…

Happiness for Dummies - W. Doyle Gentry, PhD

, , , , ,
It's been a while since I posted in this blog, mostly because I didn't want to supersede the last blog post, Learning:  the Key to Enjoying Life.  But, I started reading the book, "Happiness for Dummies", and figured I'd post what I've…

Learning: The Key to Enjoying Life

, , , , ,
I think I've finally got it.  I think I've finally figured out how to enjoy life.  I had an "ah ha" moment (thank you Jim Ryan for the terminology of Ah ha moments).  I think the key to enjoying life is learning. Here's some of my thoughts…
