I was to be driven to the County Courthouse to arrive by 2:00PM. I had no idea what it was all about. I had never been in trouble and since I was only fifteen, ...

Thinking Positive Vs Thinking Right

Thinking positive and thinking right are two different things, thinking positive can still get you nowhere although you arrive there being mentally happier and ready to go. Positive thinking is not bad it helps us cope with the day's events in a manner that most people would find relaxing and laid back. Thinking positive allows ourselves a larger bandwidth of stress we can deal with before we finally crack and succumb to stimulus response. Thinking positive and acting positive must be used toge...

How long was I seeing or courting her and I replied a couple of months. "Was she allergic to any metals?" A long paused. Ok...

A Young Man’s Heart Touched by Mom’s Jewelry

I never taught of anything special about mom's jewelry. As a kid, I used to watch her get all fancied up, dressed and slowly open her jewelry box and start to tinker and mix and match her jewelry with the dress she was wearing. As a guy, I couldn't figure out how significant a piece was coming from mom's jewelry. An earring is an earring, a bracelet is a bracelet, a ring is a ring. It never made sense to me. Of course I was around 8 years old so I didn't care. All I wanted to do was to go out of...
