Five Questions for Finding More Joy

The beginning of the year 2012 was more than a little challenging for me. A very persistent virus put me into some kind of nowhere-land for three weeks. When you don't feel great, your ability to tackle new things on your list, let alone finish old ones, just flies out the window. What I found myself doing, instead, was crossing things off the list by asking myself, What can I say no to? What can I not do? I am grateful that I had enough little gray cells operating to direct me toward the idea of taking things off my list, leaving only the most important things on the list.

Well, I have my mojo back. While gradually coming back to some kind of norm, I discovered these questions hidden in a file. They are not little questions. They are big. They take savoring and mulling over. So, drink some green tea or a glass of wine and get mulling.

Five Questions from Finding Joy
by Charlotte Davis Kasl

If you feel as if your life is somewhere out there, as opposed to right here, stop and ask yourself:

  1. What is missing in my life?
  2. What have I put on hold?
  3. What am I waiting for?
  4. What would really fill my heart and make me happy?
  5. What would I regret if I died tomorrow?


Getting Healthy -Eat More Green in the New Year!

The Harvard School of Public Health created a researched-based model called the "Healthy Eating Plate." It's quite different from the previous FDA food pyramid guideline, a model that was heavily influence by food lobbyists, in case you didn't know. A version of the Healthy Eating Plate will be promoted by the FDA. I suggest you look at the unedited and unpolished Harvard version. Post it on the frig, or keep it handy when you write a grocery list. Do read the small print all around the edges.

YouTube: "Floyd Does Not Approve of the Snow"

Haven't you felt like this some days? Poor Floyd. Look at that face! I think Floyd has been eating more than his fair share of any plate or bowl of food put in front of him. Check Floyd out here.
