Positivity: Repetition is not Insanity

Albert Einstein said, “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” This is so very simple.  If you try the exact same thing time and again with no variations, you will get the same results.  That’s a big part of what scientific testing is all about. Every single week I post Positivity.  Is it insanity?  No.  Why?  Because I am not doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I am

Positivity: Holidays and Celebrations

Everyday can be a holiday. That means that every day we can find something to celebrate. There are so many holidays out there that have very specific meanings.  Beyond that, there are feast days for Saints every single day.  So why do we only choose to celebrate on these specific days? Halloween, Presidents’ Day, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Arbor Day, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Barthdays…these are just some of the familiar holidays.  Then there are more obscure ones like Talk like

Positivity: Be Happy

I want to be happy. Don’t you? Doesn’t that sound like a fantastic idea? What do we have to do to feel happy? That’s the challenge we all face.

I got to spend a long weekend with some amazing friends.  There was tons of great conversation, inside jokes, laughter, and camaraderie.  I got to spend quality time with my chosen family, got to build better friendships with others, and even made several new friends along the way. There is nothing quite like friendship to generate positive energy.  I am always pleasantly surprised by how swiftly hanging out with friends makes me

Critical thinking takes time and energy. We live in a society where things happen almost impossibly fast.  We can communicate instantly across the globe, we can pull up the weather on our smartphones in seconds, we can research information across the internet with a few keyclicks and so on. We have come, as such, to expect instant gratification.  We want what we want, and we want it NOW.  We get caught up in our mundane routines, and we let them

Time factors into so very many aspects of our lives. So many of the things we do in our day are dictated to us by time.  There is a time to sleep, a time to wake, a time to eat, a time to work, a time to play, time for this, time for that. And of course, on the other side, there is a lack of time.  Running late, out of time, too late, the time is getting away from
