A relaxing Sunday at my apartment...sleepy and lazy!! Getting ready to go out in a bit.
I been reading an interesting book called, "Better" by Atul Gawande. He is a Dr. trying to describe the challenges that are faced for doctors in the field of health care. here is a link at NPR even with a podcast. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=10952407
I have also been re-reading the great book, "Think and Grow Rich", by Napoleon Hill. It has always been an inspirational book which helps me refocus, not so much on getting rich, but more on what i am doing and what i want to get out of life. Here is a link.... http://www.sacred-texts.com/nth/tgr/index.htm
Lastly, today i was listening to my iTunes and jumped to one of my favorites, Natalie Merchant. The words are so meaningful to me..."I tell you life is sweet In spite of the misery There's so much more Be grateful". I attached them below...
Time to go live a sweet life and tend to my garden (as James Allen would say)....
"Life Is Sweet"
It's a pity It's a crying shame Who pulled you down again? How painful it must be To bruise so easily inside
It's a pity It's a downright crime But it happens all the time You wanna stay little daddy's girl Wanna hide from the vicious world outside
But don't cry Know the tears'll do no good So dry your eyes
Your daddy he's the iron man A battleship wrecked on dry land Your mama she's a bitter bride She'll never be satisfied, And you know That's not right
But don't cry Know the tears'll do no good So dry your eyes
They told you life is hard It's misery from the start It's dull and slow and painful
I tell you life is sweet In spite of the misery There's so much more Be grateful
Who do you believe? Who will you listen to Who will it be? It's high time that you decide In your own mind
Tried to comfort you Tried to tell you to be patient They are blind They can't see
Fortune gonna come some day All gonna fade away Your daddy the war machine and Your mama the long and suffering Prisoner of what she can not see
They told you life is hard It's misery from the start It's dull and slow and painful
I tell you life is sweet In spite of the misery There's so much more Be grateful
Who do you believe? Who will you listen to Who will it be?
It's high time you decide It's time you make up your own sweet little mind
They told you life is long Be thankful when it's done Don't ask for more You should be grateful
But I tell you life is short Be thankful because before you know It will be over
Cause life is sweet And life is also very short Your life is sweet
