What Gives you Hope?
Wed Jul 8, 2009 2:58 PM EDT
In life these days it seems there are more questions than answers. Every time I turn around it seems another politician is in trouble, more people have lost their jobs, and someone else died an untimely death.

Hope Heals: Making a difference one person at a time
Wed Jul 1, 2009 6:46 PM EDT
There is so much truth in those two words "Hope Heals." When all else is lost there is still hope, if only for a better tomorrow than today. Without hope, we would surely all sink into total despair.

Good News Wednesday: A walk on the shore of a "Great" Lake, Superior!
Wed Jun 10, 2009 7:18 PM EDT
I am a Minnesotan born and raised and am used to taking crap about the cold winter weather. Whenever there is a Vikings home game, the announcers never fail to make mention fo the cold weather. They should be here now... A perfect 68 degrees, sunshine with just a few clouds.

Wed Jun 10, 2009 12:12 PM EDT
Now you are probably saying, "No big deal!" Well for me it is because I haven't taken a vacation where I actually went somewhere to relax in I don't know how many years. My time off was always spent on something that had to be done, usually for family.

Sat May 16, 2009 12:56 AM EDT
A number of years back, in the 90's, a local radio station here in the Twin Cities one weekend played the song "It's the end of the world as we know" by REM on a continuous loop. If I recall correctly, I think it was the DJ's protest at a format change.

Build me up... I tire of the back-biting, sniping, tear-everyone-down-who-does-not-agree-with-me-attitude. what happened to respect? listen to what I am saying... don't just wait for me to stop talking so you can continue...

Grandpa
Tue Apr 14, 2009 11:52 PM EDT
If silence is golden, as they say, then my family is probably broke, but broke in the best possible way. We're not quiet at all, and even if we try to be there's enough of us that even the sound of us trying to be quiet can be deafening.

Good News Wednesday: In Pursuit of a Dream
Wed Mar 25, 2009 6:59 PM EDT
One thing that links us all together is that each and everyone of us at some point in our lives have had a dream. As children we all dreamed of what we would become as adults. Maybe it was idealistic, that we would make the world better.

A Radical Notion
Mon Mar 9, 2009 11:19 AM EDT
It's been a while since I wrote. There are a lot of reasons why, but the best one is that I didn't feel I had anything new to say. I didn't just not write here, I didn't write. Some of you will understand what that's like.

It has been 14 days now since I was laid off from my job. I had a plan in place, a good one according to everyone I talked to. My counselor, my friends and family all agreed that I was on the right track and would be OK.

Good News Wednesday: The Group!
Mon Jan 12, 2009 7:59 PM EST
OK, so I know I said I didn't want to make this a group. But, I've changed my mind. One of the reasons I resisted forming a group was because I wasn't sure we could maintain the number of articles and seeds weekly.

In hope of the coming Spring...
Thu Jan 8, 2009 10:47 AM EST
Winter covers the ground with it's icy, white cloak. Shivering, I stand and gaze out at the frigid landscape. Bare trees stand tall in the distance, leaves long gone, reaching naked up to the sun as if begging for a little warmth.

Why I am still a Vikings fan?
Wed Jan 7, 2009 6:05 PM EST
This year more than any other, I questioned why I was still watching football. The Vikings in the past few years have been a total frustration for me. The changes in ownership brought changes in coaches and philosophy.
