Joy to the World!

“Faith is believing in things
when common sense tells you not to.” 

“We need a little Christmas,
Right this very minute,
We need a little Christmas……now.”

This year, as Christmastime lightens your step
And fills your heart, 
Carry the miracle of celebration of
The birth of baby Jesus
With you throughout the season.
And you could watch, "Miracle on 34th Street”
And Jerry Herman’s “Mame”
With the family.  

Merry Christmas!


Love,

Men and Women

There is an interesting book entitled, 
Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.
    By John Gray

Mr. Gray explains to us that 
Because of the different ways 
men and women are ‘wired’,

Communication goes off-rail easily.


“Men rarely say, ‘I’m sorry’ because
On ‘Mars’, it means you have done
Something wrong, and you are apologizing.”


Women say ‘I'm sorry’ as a way to say, 
‘‘I care about what you are feeling.’”

Women want their man to say “I'm sorry”, to let their woman know
He cares about what they feel.

And when he does not say it,
The argument begins!  

Confusing, to say the least,
For both.

Read more in this classic book -
That helps immensely with 
The differences in us.

How Many Crayons in YOUR Box?

12/8/2025

In elementary school, I looked longingly 
at the kids’ who had the 64 crayon boxes. 

Oh how I wanted all those colors of crayons!

If crayons were emotions, it has been said,
Women have at least..
...that many in their box of emotions.

And men, have the smallest box
Of crayons-emotions,
The box of eight.

And that men only use basically two of those:
Anger, 
And Happy.

This basic truism may help us in our relationships
With our beloved other.

Something to ponder today.

Your Anchors

I learned from Tony Robbins,
Years ago,
About how things we’ve anchored to
...can affect our emotions.

Like, someone touches your shoulder
while you are talking,

The same way someone touched your shoulder
to comfort you after a loss, 
years ago.
But you did not notice that then
Or now.

But, you do notice you feel sad
All of a sudden.

Or, you notice you are prickly
The rest of the morning.

What was the anchor?
IT DOESN”T MATTER.

Trust that something
Took you there and now 
It is your choice to change your emotion.

Meditate and pray for a moment.
A couple of deep breaths
With long exhalations.
And a decision to feel grateful - and happy.

And go about your day, HAPPY and GRATEFUL.  
NO LONGER SAD, or MAD, or..…
​
Love,
