Photo Source: Pinterest I don’t know what memory I would keep. I’ve had so many good memories, but sometimes the bad, painful memories take center stage in my mind. It is difficult at times to push those bad memories to the back of my mind and my heart, but I try. I often find myself thinking of the good memories more and more, especially now as I’m getting older. Time is precious and fleeting. As a kid, I remember feeling that the school year passed by so slowly while the summers passed by so quickly. In my days, school let […]
“About Time” is A Great Love Story
I haven’t watched a movie in quite a while in which I laughed out loud and cried so hard, but About Time touched my heart strings so powerfully. Photo Source: IMDb This movie is more that just a love story between Tim (played by Domhnall Gleeson) and Mary (played by Rachel McAdams). It is a story about the love between a father and son, as well as the loving bond between a brother and sister. Photo Source: blogs.lanacion.com.ar “Tim: I always knew we were a fairly odd family. First there was me. Too tall, too skinny, too orange. My mum […]
An Amazing Thing Happens…
Photo Source: Pinterest It is amazing how many times during the day or during the week that I think, either to myself or out loud, that I can’t wait until the weekend. Instead I should be living in the moment, content with what I have, who I’m with, who I am, and what I’m doing.

Daily Reminders to Yourself
I think it’s important to have little daily reminders because in this day and age, life can sometimes try to bring us down. So when I found this little list of “5 Things to Remind Yourself Daily” on Pinterest, via LifeHack, I wanted to share it with everyone. These daily reminders remind me of other life affirmations. Does anyone remember Al Franken’s character, Stuart Smalley, on SNL. Stuart would look into a mirror and say, “I am good enough, I am smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.” And let us not forget the wonderful reminder from Viola Davis’ […]
Life Lessons in “The Internship”
I always find it interesting when Hollywood puts out a movie with interesting Life Lessons in “The Internship” and valuable life and career lessons. This is probably why I have seen The Internship, featuring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, a dozen or so times on HBO recently. Photo Source: IMDb These two lovable guys play traveling watch salesmen who lose their jobs and essentially have to start over. Vince Vaughn’s character, Billy, is a dreamer and is the one who gets the ball rolling on their internship at Google. Photo Source: Pinterest I love the spirit in which these two […]
