post random things from time to time

My local paper has an article in it called ‘I Believe,” in which the writer tells us all what he believes. Whether it’s big or small. So, I think I’m going to tell you what I believe, whether you care or not :)

I believe that parents should play outside with their kids. In the sun. In the rain. In the snow. They should also read to them. From real, live, paper books. They should love them and comfort them whenever they need. Parents should also learn to practice tough love. Sometimes it’s needed.

I believe that H1N1 is Mother Nature’s, God’s, whoever you believe in, way of controlling the population. You may very much disagree, but there has to be a way. It’s the circle of life. Without controlling the population, there are just too many people here. Again, you may believe it or not, but it’s part of what’s destroying our world.

I believe that we are destroying the world, little by little.

I also believe that once we overcome and find a way to cure N1H1, there will just be a new disease. There always will be. We’ve already upped our life expectancy passed what people years ago would ever believe.

I believe that history repeats itself.

I don’t believe the world will end in December 2012, but I do believe something will happen. Something big.

I believe in fixing your differences with your family. Don’t go too long not talking or fixating on being mad about something. You never know what’s going to happen and when it’s going to happen. If you haven’t learned that from the movies, why are you watching them :)

However, I also believe you need time to be mad. Don’t overreact. Don’t shut someone out of your life forever. But take time to be mad. Let them know your hurt. As a matter of fact, I believe you should take time to feel all emotions, good and bad. Don’t forget to feel.

I know many will disagree, but these are the things I believe.

This poem got me. I liked it. It’s so true.

“God, teach me the language of sleep.”

Life is funny sometimes.

Sailing tonight was cold, rainy, foggy with not much wind. Yet we managed to pull out our second win in as many weeks. I still can’t get enough of sailing in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty.

Here is a link to a photo of us racing the “Fistiki”, last Thursday in NY Harbor. We were leading at this time as a barge passed us by. We went on to win the first race of the season.

I look up a random name and address, usually by looking in the phonebook, then I mail them something – at random. It’s good.
