Wishes for 2008

posted by Beyond Blue | 10:00am Saturday December 29, 2007

Thanks to Beyond Blue reader Susie for this prayer for 2008!

May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts.
May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of $100 bills.
May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips!
May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy.
May the problems you had forget your home address! In simple words …………
May 2008 be the best year of your life!!!

Rewire Your Brain For Love: An Interview with Marsha Lucas, Ph.D.
In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I thought I’d feature an interview with a very cool licensed psychologist and neuropsychologist that I was lucky enough to meet in person at a book signing back in September. Marsha Lucas, Ph.D., has been practicing psychotherapy and studying the brain-behavior re

Love Deeply ...
Valentine's Day is a good time to remember all the ways we can be loving, not just to the guy/gal sitting across from you at the kitchen table, but also your boss, your mother, your boss's mother, and her mother. One of my very favorite reflections from Henri Nouwen is "Love Deeply," found in hi

Therapy Thursday: Sweat
I have decided to dedicate a post on Thursday to therapy, and offer you the many tips I have learned on the couch. They will be a good reminder for me, as well, of something small I can concentrate on. Many of them are published in my book, "The Pocket Therapist: An Emotional Survival Kit." Work

Scrupulosity: What It Is and Why It's Dangerous
If you sprinkle a hefty dose of Catholic (or Jewish) guilt unto a fragile biochemistry headed toward a severe mood disorder, you usually arrive at some kind of a religious nut. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! For I am one. I have said many places that growing up Catholic, for me, was

The Treasures of Darkness
We often equate darkness with sorrow, misery, get-me-the-hell-out-of-here reaction. At least I do. That’s why I keep a mammoth Happy Lite on my smallish cubicle at work. But darkness can also be a treasure. Say what? J. R. Miller writes this in “From Streams in the Desert” by L. B. C

May your ‘New Year’ be the best. Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, and may all your hearts desires come true. May there be success in all that you do. Psalm 23:4 says, ” You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Genesis 28: 15, says, ” I will not leave you.”
May you live on His wonderful promises all through the year…

2008 will be one of the best ever – I’m convinced. Choose to make it so. Be well and be blessed. A great verse from Isaiah 26:3 -
“You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.”
Kind thoughts and warm regards…
Frank,

I liked the “happiness slapping us across the face” … that’s sometimes what it takes for us, isn’t it?
Happy New Year, all!

Thank you, Therese. I don’t know how, when or why I clicked that thing in cyberspace that brought your blog into my inbox. I usually use this address just for stuff that might get me spam. I haven’t even seen much mention of adult ADD, which my Dr. and I feel might be what led to my depression and anxiety. I’m 44, I’m a senior in a Bachelors Social Work program and I just realized I waited too long for an oil change and may now need a new motor. My life is still a mixed bag of achievements and forgotten responsibilities. Your humor, compassion and empathy have helped me a great deal and this poem is just another drop that helps to make me remember the bucket isn’t empty and there’s always more drops to come.
Thank you,
Jeff
