QUOTE OF THE NOW

"Our life evokes our character. You find out more about yourself as you go on. That's why it's good to be able to put yourself in situations that will evoke your higher nature rather than your lower. 'Lead us not into temptation.'" Joseph Campbell

Today's serving: 3 doses of encouragementosity

I wrote a few days ago about how I make big decisions in my life, using the stovetop method.

But other decisions can't be made that way--daily life decisions about our relationships, friendships, families, marriages, children, tend to be a hundred times more complicated. You can't put your kid on a backburner and let her simmer.

Same with day-to-day struggles with depression, mental illness, job troubles, loneliness, and so forth... figuring out how to get through these things... you can't just plop loneliness in a pot and walk away.


So today I have some songs dedicated to finding...

strength
courage
and 
wisdom.

Beautiful World by Colin Hay (formerly of Men At Work).

He was on Craig Ferguson last night when I was avoiding writing. He's funny, too.
