Start A New Religion

Enjoy Life Tip No 11

START A NEW RELIGION!

If you're fed up with what is currently on offer (religion seems to
cause a lot of death and mayhem if you ask me) then I think it is
time to start your own!

All you need to do is come up with a few 'rules' and start living
by them.

Here are a few of the 'rules' for my new religion, which is so new,
it doesn't even have a name yet (suggestions please)

FORGIVENESS

You need to forgive the past, forgive others and above all, forgive
yourself.

BIGOTRY

All humans are 99.99% identical. Don't let that 0.01% difference
bias your opinion of another, especially when it comes to color,
creed, religion or race.

EDUCATION

If your child's education does not EXPAND the mind then it is not
education at all, it is something entirely different.

FAMILY

Being 'family' does not legitimize intolerable or unacceptable
behaviour.

REGRET

Regret is a wasted emotion unless it is used as the propulsion to
move forward.

NOW

The past is set in stone, the future hasn't happened yet. There is
only NOW. But too often we spend time regretting the past, worrying
about the future and forgetting to live in the NOW.

So, to sum up, forgive, don't be a bigot, educate, do not accept
unacceptable behaviour, have no wasteful regrets and live in the
NOW.

So NOW, what shall we call it?

Ideas for names and new rules please....

Father's Day Gift

10th Edition - All About Fathers and Father's Day

Welcome! I'd like to talk about fathers. I know from my
own experience that fatherhood can be a difficult role and I think
many underestimate just how difficult it is, to provide the right
amount of freedom, guidance and discipline, a tricky balancing act
at the best of times. My own theory is that I will just love my
children unconditionally, forever, no matter what. Easier said than
done at times but it is my life's plan, even if at times it feels
like that love is not returned (but I did leave their mother so I
forgive and understand them).

By the way, if you haven't said 'I love you' to your father for a
while, I suggest you do. It just might help. Here are a few real
life examples of people doing just that. I hope you enjoy them. All
the very best, Allen


Goodbye Dad - Trust In The Lord

Mike's father was sadly diagnosed with terminal cancer and was
given only months to live. This is how Mike said goodbye:

Hello - Dad

On a much happier note, Jen wanted something from their unborn baby
to the new father, Jeff. The poem is written from the baby's
perspective which I think adds a nice touch...

Thanks Dad - An Unselfish Role

Why does everybody leave it until the last moments to say I love
you? A truly touching story...
