Howdy Folks and Good Day!
As much as technology can sometimes feel like it keeps us separated from our
family and friends as we individually hook up to iPods,
TVs and computers, it can also bring us together.
Last night my mom called to say hi. As we were talking she walked by the TV Dad had fallen asleep in front of. On the screen, dolphins leaped in the air and splashed through the water corralling fish and forming a bait ball! Pelicans and seagulls dove into the water with gusto! Then the camera switched to a breath-taking view of migrating whales!
Mom was really excited because it reminder her of their first
vacation to
I turned on my TV and checked to see if we had the Animal Planet channel. We did! An entire continent apart, me and Mom watched together for a few minutes as we were filled with the wonder, awe and the thrilling memories of seeing these amazing creatures up close and personal!
Those few minutes together certainly were not an earth-shaking or sea-parting experience. But they created one of those precious moments that makes life special. Being able to share both what we were seeing on TV as well as the memories of a wonderful vacation created a delightful connection. And for those few minutes, it seemed like we were right next to each other instead of 3000 miles apart.
I normally wouldn’t think of TV as a way to connect with family, but in this instance I’m grateful it did.
What are some of the ways you connect with your loved ones? Do you have any special memories you could share with them? Do you have a great photo or post-card you could send to remind them of the joyous time?
Find a way to connect with those you care about today!
With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…

THE SANDBOX BLESSING
I heard Eva Longoria Parker say on morning TV that sometimes "playing in a different sandbox for awhile" is so important.
In fact, I would say, as a positive psychologist, that often it is just what the 'Doctor' ordered.
It helps us get our minds off of ourselves. It gives us a chance to meet new playmates and play with different toys. After all, the new sandbox might just have the perfect sifter and/or the great new friend with red hair and freckles.
This is not silly talk.
We never outgrow our need for change and diversion!
May you be blessed with the capacity to always find a new
suitable sandbox to play in, when you need it!

A Weekly Column
By
PRESIDENT’S
I honestly didn’t think it was a political question. In my mind, it was just a common, ordinary, garden-variety water cooler icebreaker.
“So,” I said casually as I sipped from my cup and she filled hers, “have you decided how you’re going to celebrate President’s Day this year?”
“Celebrate?” she asked in a huff. “What’s to celebrate? That warmonger in the White House? As far as I’m concerned, President’s Day this year is for mourning – not celebration.”
Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to make small talk with someone who has just used the word “warmonger”? It’s sort of a long way from there to “nice weather we’re having.” You know?
So I did what any person past 50 would do in that situation: I waxed nostalgic. Everything triggers a memory from back in the day. Everything. Find it and figure out how to flaunt it – preferably with some well-placed meandering from subject to subject, like you’re totally losing it, you know? – and you can worm your way out of any situation.
Or at least change the subject.
“When I was a kid we didn’t
have President’s Day,” I said, wistfully.
“We had
“That’s part of the problem,”
she said, huffiness squared. “We always
remember president’s for the wars they fought.
OK – feigned senility didn’t work. So I tried compromise.
“Well, the good thing is there are plenty of good, peaceful presidents to remember on President’s Day,” I said. “Kennedy . . . Carter . . . Reagan . . .”
I knew using the R-name was a mistake even before it completely escaped my mouth. I tried to catch it with my lips before she heard it, but it was too late. She moved quickly from full huff to near hysteria.
“Don’t even get me started on Reagan . . .”
And then she got started on Reagan. It was during her diatribe that it occurred to me that a wonderful thing was happening. When at last she came up for air, I pointed it out to her.
“I think you’ve stumbled onto something here,” I said.
“You mean you agree with my take on Reaganomics?” she asked.
“Well, I’m not sure I understand it,” I admitted. “It involves . . . you know . . . numbers and stuff. I don’t do numbers.”
She rolled her eyes. The huff was back.
“But I do understand this,” I continued. “You live in a country where you can stand here in a public setting and say anything you want about any president, living or dead, and you don’t have to worry about it. I’m not going to report you, and even if I did, nobody would care.”
“Least of all,” she grumbled, “that . . . that . . . warmonger.”
And that’s something that is infinitely worth celebrating this President’s Day.
