Life is so short.
When you think about how much time we really have in our lives, it can be quite humbling to realize how quickly it can go by.
“I’m Sorry” – Asking for Forgiveness
In past articles, we have spoken about forgiving others and forgiving yourself or, in other words, your being the party doing the forgiving. But there are also times when we might need to be forgiven by another person for hurtful actions we have taken.

Turning Obstacles Into Opportunities
When I was younger, I never really understood what it meant to be a “glass is half-empty” versus a “glass is half-full” type of person. Was one better than the other? Which one were we supposed to be? Through my life, things have happened that have helped me learn the difference between the two.
In February of 2008, I was invited to a black tie affair by a good friend of mine for the hospital where he is the Chief of Staff. I had gone to this event with him many times and always had a good time. I went out and bought a tux, had it tailored, got my shoes, and was all set to go. That night, just before I started to get ready, I told Sharon that I didn’t really feel like going.

One night, about a month ago, we met a few friends there for dinner.
Life can seem very hard and unfair at times.
