Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, teachers.

Laughter
The human race has only one really effective weapon, and that's laughter. The moment it arises, all our hardnesses yield, all our irritations and resentments slip away, and a sunny spirit takes their place.

January 5, 2007 Chautauqua
From the Editor's Computer
Happy New Year and Welcome to 2007!
I took part in a New Year’s skit last Sunday at church which talked about making New Year’s revolutions...not resolutions.
How many years have you resolved to change something in your life? Do things differently? Change yourself? Change others?!
This year, instead of making resolutions...make revolutions! Make new choices! Do something new. Habits aren’t broken, they are replaced. Make new choices which will lead to new habits and a new life.
Nothing in your life will change or improve until you make the choice to do things differently. Strive to relate more peacefully to those around you. Strive to make choices that improve your life. Strive to learn something new. Strive to be the best you that you can be this year.
Make it a point of doing one thing every day to make this year your best year ever.

Affirmations
Affirmations are really anything we say or think. Our thoughts create our feelings, beliefs, and experiences. Too often they are negative. We say, 'I don't want this in my life,' or 'I don't want to be sick anymore,' or 'I hate my job.' If we want to change or manifest something in our lives, we must state what we do want. We must affirm that we are willing to see ourselves or our lives in a different perspective. Thus, we can change our experiences by first changing our thoughts...

Choices
If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise.

Friends
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advise, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
- Henri Nouwen

December 15, 2006 Chautauqua
From the Editor's Computer
In this season of hustle and bustle hither and yon for shopping and parties...events galore, don’t forget to take some time by yourself, just for yourself.
This year, let your Christmas present to yourself be some time alone to experience some peace and to reflect on the year that is behind us. Allow the quietness around you to soak deep into your being so that you can emerge refreshed and renewed for the next activity.
Merry Christmas to you all...and may 2007 be your best year ever!

Gratitude
Can you see the holiness in those things you take for granted--a paved road or a washing machine? If you concentrate on finding what is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul.
- Rabbi Harold Kushner
