'Place in the sun' - a place/environment that promotes a sense of success, happiness, or prosperity.
I have a friend who likes to go to Thailand. For the past few years, he has visited at least once a year and in some years twice. He has been to other parts of ...

A news story this morning caught my attention. It was about the fact that bonobos, one of our closest primate relatives, prefer to share their food rather than eat alone.
"Dr Hare said it could be purely altruistic, or more selfish motives could drive this behaviour because sharing could be exchanged ...

It struck me very strongly this week that in the week that Auschwitz survivors mark Holocaust Memorial Day (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8482760.stm), I happen to be reading Viktor E Frankel's "Man's Search for Meaning", Dr. Frankel was an Auschwitz survivor. In the same week, news coming out of the disaster in Haiti cumulated ...

After a 12 day break from walking in the morning, I returned to experience the full colours of Autumn in the trees and on the grounds. I may not like the cold and wet but I do find the colours so much richer and I love it.

'No-one, even those closest to me, knows what I have had to go through to get to where I am now. Why then do you resent what I have?'
A few weeks before my identity theft saga started (see http://notthenews.net) , I told my mother that I could not find it ...

I tend to use the word karma to describe the calm, peaceful balance. Something that disturbs this state is said to be upsetting my karma. I recently decided to look it up the proper meaning of the word and am horrified to discover that it doesn't mean anything like that ...

"Spirituality, in a narrow sense, concerns itself with matters of the spirit, a concept closely tied to religious belief and faith, a transcendent reality, or one or more deities. Spiritual matters are thus those matters regarding humankind's ultimate nature and meaning, not only as material biological organisms, but as beings ...

The 5th of January I wrote and said things where going back to normal. How I lied! If anything Christmas time is the worst time for making you break habits you have tried to hard to maintain. The few days of not following routines are fatal to anything that requires ...

Well this is it, 2009 before we could even catch our breaths, everything's back to normal.
Have you made any resolutions? I have, but not because I think that one year turning into another will make it any different, just that it does provide a good excuse to try harder at ...

Well I did suspect that this stuff would not be easy. After all I am a man of habit and when I need to change any one of them, it takes a great deal of effort. In fact most change is forced upon you and usually with a lot of ...

I have started dreaming again. I mean the kind of dreaming that you do awake not the usually forgotten sleep process.  No, I mean those vivid, colourful day dreams that  make you feel good, make you want to reach out and touch them. You can call it hope if you want to. Dreaming again ...
