God’s Will
Nature hath Her seasons, The earth her course is sure. Mankind hath his reasons, His motives aren't obscure. He calls upon his power (With free-will he's bedecked)﹣ To ply her ample dower, God's Will he doth prosect. Cast out from the Garden, By his constant greed. His gentle heart doth harden When he meddles with …
What Future?
What future do you prepare yourself for? The future that everyone is expecting? More of the same? Or perhaps a radically new vision for how life could be were you to look at the matter differently?

Fun at Work

Happy to Receive
This flip side of yesterday's post, of course, is the matter of receiving graciously. My sons were surprised the other day by a toll booth attendant who noticed them in the back seat of the car as we made our way from Naples to Palm Beach via Alligator Alley. She saw them, lit up and …
Contented by Giving
My sons and I started a new tradition when we travel which has proven to be a consistently wonderful experience. We agreed that they would give a gift to one staff member at each hotel we visit and that they had the honor of choosing the most commendable recipient. The gentleman who received the gift …
Making a Difference
When was the last time you stopped to thank a fellow human being for making a difference not just in your life, but in the world in general? It's easy to thank those who affect your life directly in some way, but you have billions more opportunities to give specific thanks to others who act …
