If I had my life to live over, I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained and the sofa faded.
I would have eaten the popcorn in the ‘good’ living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
This year we cancelled our vacations due to my mother’s critical condition. And just because we were bound to stay at home, with no possibility and willingness to go not even on a one-day trip, we decided that we will paint the house.
At first glance it looked like a great idea. We had lots of time, we would save the money by doing it ourselves and we would be distracted and not feeling sorry for not going anywhere.

Following long summer vacations, doing nothing, just enjoying your time with friends and family, it’s still a big day for many.
What were your thoughts about new school year? Were you excited or worried?
How do you think your kids will be and do in school if you are worried? You know that we more often talk about negative experiences (and not only about school):
And then we might also add some warnings and threats:
Cotton Candy friending is a phenomenon among the Facebook generation where the more friends you have the better and soon you realize that you have 1276 friends on MySpace, but no one to hand out in real life. I find that we are truly hungry for real relationships, because the social network ‘friend’ does not sustain us.
So, how can we get Cotton Candy friends back to being real dessert…or maybe even a meal, something long lasting and nutritious for your soul. Talk to your teens about friendship and that:
