  Tweet No, I will NOT give you back 2:16 minutes of your life. Why is it that you are completely compelled to watch some things, even if they have no relevance to your real life? If I had to make a list of things that are relevant to me it would probably be this: Motherstuff [...]

  Positive Thinking

  Posted on June 12, 2010 by Diane in 3 inspiration, 5 life
  Tweet

  Tweet I like this kind of positive thinking. The nature of life is such, I think, that if you live long enough you will experience both good and bad events. You can’t control all of the externals in your life – you may be able to moderate them, but you can’t control them. One thing [...]
