Steph – that’s a great point. We humans have such a limited view of the grand scheme of things. If it doesn’t specifically pertain to us, it’s easy to ignore or downplay. And, it’s an old cliché but it lives on for a reason, “Life turns on a dime.” Nothing is certain or forever. So be in the present, plan for the future, and have a great ride!

What a great idea! Write a thank-you note…to yourself!

Such a great message, Beth, as always. Ironically, I’m reading your blog just minutes after reading this morning’s paper about the 7.0 earthquake in Haiti. That is a huge human tragedy and thousands are suffering an Armageddon of their own.

Thanks Mimi – happy to annoy your sons right back… LOL That whole thing is just so silly. And when men in suits start to make breathless prognostications about it, one must just pause and ask “Who benefits?” Usually there is a book, or a survival kit, or boxes of food for sale, or similar attached to the conversation. We need to teach our kids better Critical Thinking.

Happy to help with the perspective. One of my favorite topics.

Beth, I loved this post and I can’t thank you enough for the news about 12/21/12 being behind us! I shared that with my son (both my sons buy into the 2012 theories to, at least, annoy their mom!) immediately.

You are the resilience model! It’s interesting that we, as a society, have such an interesting and limited short term memory. We never stop to think of all the resilience we’ve already displayed that proves “that which doesn’t kill us makes us stronger!”

Onward and upward, Beth. Thanks for helping us keep it in perspective.
