REFLECTIONS

I'm not sure where I saw it but several years ago I read an  article about making a list of 5 things to be grateful for each day.  This was supposed to improve my mood and lead to happiness. It only made sense. If something bad happens you'll know it.  It will grab your attention like a headache.  The things we should be grateful for can easily be ignored.  That's why an effort to be grateful is important for happiness. For the longest time I've been doing this and it has helped.  I take an index card and list 5 things I'm grateful for each day until the end of the week.  Then I read over the list and discard the index card.  This encourages me to look for the good things in life each day. However, lately I find myself putting down the same things over and over.  It becomes a routine, just another chore at the end of the day.  If I can't find anything to put down I skip it until the next day.  The feeling of gratitude has faded away.  I need a way to mak

Last night I watched 3 movies on TV.  The black and white Wolf-man and Invisible Man.  I don't remember much about the third movie.  It was a contemporary film with a weak plot and unclear ending.

I found this post on a Greek site that I follow: Please excuse the very rough translation. It's from a Google computer generated translation. A text written with great humor, unknown author, originally from Germany. In the belly of a pregnant two embryos talk. This is a skeptic, the other full of confidence and faith. The full doubts fetus asks: "And really believe in life after birth?" The fetus feels, he replies: "Certainly, yes. For me it is absolutely certain that there is life after my birth. Life here is just to make us grow so we can prepare ourselves for life after birth us, so we are strong enough for what awaits us after. " The skeptic has little frustrated: "This is pretty silly. There is life after birth. How would seem such a life, anyway?" The small but loyal, says: "I do not know. But they will have much more light here. And may we stand on our feet and eat with our mouths!" The full doubts embry

I found this Italian song on the Russian blog called "Agency for the Return of Lost Illusions." The singer: Adriano Celentano Turn up the sound while you read the lyrics: Here are the English lyrics translated from the Italian: Confession Come on, confess, my love. I'm no longer the only one, the sole one. You've hidden in your heart, a story that cannot be renounced. I am no longer your thought, I am no longer your true love. I am the sweet that is bitter inside, which you no longer eat. But why are you a different woman? But why are you no longer you? But why did you not say it before? Who does not love will never be loved. What did you do with the good thing we had? It has become a cold shiver. Our laughs, our dinners, By now irrecoverable scenes. I am no longer your thought, I am no longer your true love. I am the sweet that is bitter inside, which
