Mindfulness and Retirement: Time To Play

I have a 17-year-old daughter who is finishing up a year in Vitoria, Brazil. She’s been having the time of her life in a gorgeous coastal city with the beaches of her dreams and the cute guys to match. What’s not to like?

Tara told us that we could buy a beautiful home (”All marble floors!”) on a spectacular beach (”White sand!”) in a number of lovely cities (”Amazing architecture!”) with friendly neighbors (”Dancing all night with people who don’t know you but love you anyway!”)

Hence the first principle in changing ones character is to seek another environment, to let new forces play upon our unused chords, and draw from us a better music. Will Durant

I was 17 and growing up in the Midwestern farming community of just under 1,000. My youthful intent, looking out over the cornfields of Ohio, was to find my best place on the planet, move there, and stay the rest of my life.

IT'S TIME TO RETIRE THE 'CHRIST-KILLER' CHARGERolf Gompertz

That charge has been leveled against Jews for two-
thousand years. It has led to horrible, brutal
persecutions, culminating in the Nazi Holocaust and the
death of Six Million Jews.

The Holocaust brought about deep theological soul-
searching within Christianity. It led to a revised view of
the circumstances involving the Trial and Crucifixion of
Jesus, a more appreciative understanding of the Jewish
faith, and a more respectful approach to Jewish-Christian
relations.

Now comes Mel Gibson’s highly controversial film, “The
Passion of the Christ,” (premiere date: Ash Wednesday, Feb.
25, 2004). According to concerned Jewish and
Christian leaders, the film resurrects the Christ-killer
charge with a passion.

SOMETIMES LIFE IS JUST "TIRED!" (Making It During The Blahs)Lee Wise

TIRED!”
(Making It During The Blahs)
(Lee Wise 2002)

How do you spell “Life?”

Answer: Dry Corn Flakes.

Sometimes life is like that, isn’t it? Not that it is
terrible or even terrific.

It’s just goin’ — and that’s the point!

I really don’t know what you call these times. Maybe you
could call them “dry cereal days.”

True confession: I’m not an expert in getting through
these “in between” days. But like you, I try to make
it!

Here are some things we can try together!

ADJUST YOUR GLASSES!
