It's really quite simple, just start the month with a few songs - maybe even a recent addition from the previous quarter and start building the playlist. It evolves  as you discover new music, your needs for tunes shifts, and your ability to spend a little time with your favorite musical playlists/device]]></description>

Everyone in the boat I was docking with flinched visibly, as whatever had just dropped from the helicopter began its underwater approach to the shoreline. Even though I couldn’t grasp what might have been in the metal container seconds before – I did begin to wonder if I had mistakenly assumed it was for shipping – and not actually a cage?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. Fonzi has the most famous thumb in history - he didn't wear one.

2. Conflicts with my 4-finger ring.

3. The thumb is the big toe of the hand. You don't see people with big toe rings!

4. You'll look like a champion Thumb-Wrestler with a Thumb-Belt on.

5. People will think you are too fancy if you hitch hike.

6. Looks like you broke the finger cuffs in two.

7. No subtle way to accomplish two-digit nose picking.

8. Double thumbs-up move makes you look like EVEN MORE of a douchebag.]]></description>

Does that thread sound like a person ready to jump off a tall building, or take a long nap in a running car with the garage door closed?

The more you thank others and expect it less frequently - the faster it will become a part of who you are, not just something you say. Gratitude is an attitude...and a vastly beneficial one to boot]]></description>

Sure, it's harder to do, being so much easier to bitch and moan with the lot of them, but I think it will bring me and those around me up quicker so we can look around, stop focusing on our problems and find solutions that aid in recovery.]]></description>

What could we do as a family that would be fun, and everyone could laugh and just be light about. Somehow the topic of breakfast came up, and we decided to dress the boys as eggs and the girl as bacon. That left Mom and I as the Cooks , get it - we made breakfast? Great laughs from everyone all night - this is the way to do what is otherwise a scary, uhm ahh - event.]]></description>

The number of times I have told people to "buck-up" and get back in the game is probably in the hundreds. The number of times I have doubted my own abilities and gone forward anyway are too numerous to remember. But, all that pressure and satisfaction I got from the hassle was short-lived and internal. The struggle continues, another game-day approaches and the same, or worse circumstances arose. Yet, with each challenge my self-motivation skills developed further.]]></description>
