I came across these sayings in a book recently. I’ll split it into two parts so it won’t be so long. It’s folklore about what a husband could expect of his wife according to the month of the marriage. A January bride will be a...

I’m not married, but my sister is about to celebrate her 20th wedding anniversary, and our dad actually conducted the ceremony to marry her and my brother-in-law. I thought that was sweet, but if I were to get married anytime soon...

I came across these sayings about the seasons and thought I’d share them. I certainly don’t believe all of them but some I’ve heard before. Summer If it rains on a full moon, it’s going to be a wet month. Spider webs in the...

Judy Evans That's interesting about the months with an 'R' in them. And fancy May to August all NOT having an R! That worked out nicely. I remember the 'rain, rain, go away' too. Gosh, that was a long time ago.

A few months ago, I was reading a story about food insecurity/food waste, etc. Some of it was shocking and to be honest, I was ashamed--of us, in the United States. There is absolutely NO reason for us to be the number one country...

Marie Coyle Yes, it is credited to Mahatma Gandhi, but actually written by Arun Gandhi, according to what I looked up. Maybe they collaborated on it, we will never know for sure. I like the one about need and greed.

The Zen master was walking along a road, when he tripped on a small rock, placed there by someone for some reason, or another. He said to the rock: "Your smallness creates your bigness, and even the big like me can fall...

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, but a few of us have a dogged determination that might eventually overcome what is dogging us. I do not think that we were all created to be just lapdogs for God.

The Zen master was eating a meal of fish, when a student asked him, why are you not a vegetarian, a man of your stage of enlightenment? The Zen master replied simply: "Diet is more of the body than of the soul."...

Steve Marshall The student certainly had a long way to go to make sense of his master's words, but he needed to learn to sit with the master's words, in his heart, not to spew them out of his mind, as derogatory comments, as nothing is learned when the mind blankets over...

Marie Coyle I think it’s wonderful that you share so much with others. And doesn’t your single teacher friend have 3 or 4 kids? That would take care of any leftovers!

NJ Chicaa This is a real problem for me between living alone and my wildly vacillating appetite. I'm trying to do better but I have miles to go. I do often bring in extra leftovers for coworkers who I know will appreciate it.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 I have heard it said that God didn't make any duplicates, and each part of creation has its own role, part, and purpose, to play in his creation. We should learn from each other, and from every other part, as all are connected too, and the play only...

Once again, the photo has nothing to do with the discussion. Like many other countries around the world, Australia was badly affected by the Great Depression. A clergyman and social reformer, Robert Hammond (1870-1946) had the...

Steve Marshall Well, said, siva. We might even say that God didn't create anything without a purpose for its being itself, and so when we live this purpose, we are living our lives on purpose for God. Working behind the scenes is far better than living a life of outer...

Anna I am glad he called, the son of our ex-neighbors was not interested to go to college. He found a very good job (at the age of 18), he is now 22 and buying his first small apartment.
