“Feeling” Happy

Our “feelings” of happiness are in constant flux.   We are all completely unique in “what makes us feel happy.” What makes us feel happy today will not necessarily have the same effect tomorrow. This goes for people, places and things. Our individual state of happiness requires introspection while doing and moving forward with actions. […]

The Falsehood of Normality

For much of my life, if asked, “How’s it going?” My rote response was an automatic: “Fine.” It was my go-to answer for two reasons: 1) Because I though complaining was weak and ugly and 2) I was afraid to admit that anything in my life might be anything other than fine. The problem with […]

Know Thyself

My mother embroidered and framed a picture that said, “Know Thyself.”  It was hanging in such a place that you couldn’t leave our house without seeing it. Truthfully, it was one of those daily reminders that sometimes really pissed me off, especially since it was also my mother’s answer to me whenever I blamed someone […]

Yet, what is imperfection when speaking about works of art, like humans?  If we are all one-of-a-kind, with no two of us the same, how can imperfection exist? How can a one-and-only be imperfect?

Worrying About the Future

Do you ever find yourself worrying about what the future holds? At any age, worrying about tomorrow steals the joy from today. Whenever I find myself starting to worry I remind myself of two things: 1) When I am thinking, I’m not fully in the present and therefore 2) Whatever I am worrying about, is […]
