I have to admit that I too don't watch tv much anymore. It's usually on, but I have no clue about shows anymore. When we watch, it's generally educational type stuff...history channel, discovery etc. I absolutely hate mindless television, though I must admit there are days when that's all my brain can manage to do...watch something mindless. It's rare now. Who has the time to just sit and watch after all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-1153592087268337382006-07-22T14:14:00.000-04:002006-07-22T14:14:00.000-04:00sorry about that link!www.dennisprager.comi love y...sorry about that link!<BR/><A HREF="http://dennisprager.com" REL="nofollow">www.dennisprager.com</A><BR/><BR/>i love your blog, jody!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-1153591886061585792006-07-22T14:11:00.000-04:002006-07-22T14:11:00.000-04:00what an awesome post. you remind me of dennis prag...what an awesome post. you remind me of dennis prager when you talk about happiness and what matters in life. he is a conservative jewish talkshow host from here in CA who talks a lot about meaning of life, and has a great focus on HAPPINESS - even in the worst of times. you should check him out sometime. <A HREF="http://URL" REL="nofollow">www.dennisprager.com</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-1153583269323130402006-07-22T11:47:00.000-04:002006-07-22T11:47:00.000-04:00:)thanks Jody. i wish everyone could read this. i ...:)<BR/>thanks Jody. i wish everyone could read this. i don't feel so 'uncool' anymore when life must and does take a different focus. <BR/>i have no clue what's on tv lately... and i probably won't much more for this year- we are so incredibly busy and focused on other things. <BR/>i started working at SBuxs for some extra income and I'm LOL at Kellie's response... but it's true.<BR/>Now I'm going to have to try that latte. lol : )Deanna- yep Dee-nahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16863926521539895666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-1153530646936598232006-07-21T21:10:00.000-04:002006-07-21T21:10:00.000-04:00Wow!

And you put it so, so well. <BR/><BR/>There's nothing like loss to sharpen our focus and show us what really matters.<BR/><BR/>BTW, on a lighter note, I ordered a venti, non-fat coconut latte today at SB, and thought of you. It was yummy indeed.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes the little things in life make it worth living...not necessarily coconut lattes, but knowing why you tried one in the first place, and remembering that you're lucky to be able to savor it. That's all. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-1153526133556626542006-07-21T19:55:00.000-04:002006-07-21T19:55:00.000-04:00i think i need to reread that post EVERY day. tha...i think i need to reread that post EVERY day. thanks jody!Laura Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12154660078920449361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-1153500923446885942006-07-21T12:55:00.000-04:002006-07-21T12:55:00.000-04:00Thanks Jody!

Your post today is a great example of "Where your heart is, there your treasure will be also." Thanks for the encouragement.

It is awesome....and so honest and heartfelt and IMPORTANT. I agree so much! I am the mom of 3 great daughters (23, 21 and 19). When they were 1, 3 and 5 I found out a had a brain tumor. That was the worst and best of times! Even though it was many years ago now it has ALWAYS continued to influence how I see each day. I feel as though I know you and I keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Take good care! ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
