Wisdom for Modern Life by Daisaku Ikeda
Tuesday, June 23, 2009
If a person is hungry, we should give them bread. When there is no bread, we can at least give words that nourish. To a person who looks ill or is physically frail, we can turn the conversation to some subject that will lift their spirits and fill them with the hope and determi-nation to get better. Let us give something to each person we meet: joy, courage, hope, assurance, philosophy, wisdom, a vision for the future. Let us always give something. 

My god! I'd never survive the Donner party!

Writer's Block: Clothing Options

When it comes to clothes, would you rather be comfortable or fashionable?
I have historically chosen comfortable. I hate being uncomfortable. However, I think that fashionable would be a nice change of pace. Why can't we have both?

I am in total agreement--and that's why I've chosen to switch it up by wearing so many empire-waisted dresses/baby doll dresses. That way I get to feel pretty/feminine/fashionable but I also am WAY comfy. More comfy than jeans, at least for me, since jeans are either too tight or too big and almost always make me feel fat!
