Remember what’s really important
• Each time anyone, not just your loved ones, is talking with you, remember the line in the movie “Shall We Dance?”, where Susan Sarandon’s character says, “We all want a partner to witness our lives, so that our lives will matter to someone.”
• Look for Dr. Mardy Grothe’s http://www.DrMardyGrothe.com latest book: Viva la Repartee: Clever Comebacks & Witty Retorts from History's Great Wits & Wordsmiths.
• “Peace is the result of the small stitchery of everyday actions, most of them unconnected to any of the others. Each carried out in a long train of other actions and not noticeable particularly, even to the actor. Peace, like health, is the condition we find un-remarkable. Peace, like health, is commented on only in its absence. It is what all organisms aspire to – unstressed play, growth and rest. And yet we long for it. The daily living in the world, from hurrying to a job to fretting over a tardy child, from fearing to fly to fearing the bomb down the street, generates a great longing. And yet, what we long for is small, is unremarked upon when we have it, is unnoticed even; is peace.”
