A Word
A careless word may kindle strife,
A cruel word may wreck a life,
A bitter word may hate instill;
A brutal word may smite and kill,
A gracious word may smooth the way,
A joyous word may light the day,
A timely word may lessen stress;
A loving word may make it best.

Short Term Memory
I got in my car forgetting completely about the coffee I put down on the top. Luckily, just as I was about to pull out of the parking spot, I reached for my coffee and found it missing. Took me a few seconds before I recalled where I had left it :o(

An interesting concept that I first heard on the Radio a few months ago. My coworkers were talking about a couple of such places here in Austin, TX.
My curiosity is up and am going to try to find a couple of these places and try to check them out.

You Cannot "Try to be" What You are Not
You cannot try to be smarter than you are or more cool or . . . . .
You cannot try to be smarter than you are or more cool or . . . . .
Just like you cannot be any less of those above. You are who & what you are. Actually, you are the sum of "who" and "what" you are. "You" are not any one "thing". There isn't any one adjective that does or could possibly define "you". So don't try to be anything but who you are.
But when you do see yourself trying to be something you are not already - ask yourself why you are doing it? Is it because you actually

Happy, Sad, Mad, Angry & Everything in Between
On my morning drive I happened to catch just a few minutes of the Dudley and Bob Morning Show. They were talking about individuals needing "psychiatric help". The issues the were talking about (at least the ones that caught my attention) were:
- Dealing with the possibility of needing such help
- The taboo against
It was really interesting to hear such a topic even though listening to them felt a little distracting. Not to mention the fact that I had to quit (since I was already running a little late for a meeting).

Inspiration
Sometimes all you need is a little inspiration. That can come from someone else or from within.
Where it comes from is not important. What is, important, that you recognize that you are being asked to go forth. Once you do, maybe others will follow. Maybe no one will. But that small journey that you take will be it's own reward. And who knows, that small journey might lead to bigger adventures.
