  Stress Reduction 100 Years Ago
  That we live in an extremely stressful environment is abundantly evident. However, stress is nothing new - it's been around since the begining of time. Robert Louis Stevenson made these suggestions over 100 years ago.
  
  * MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO BE HAPPY - learn to find pleasure in simple things.
  * MAKE THE BEST OF CIRCUMSTANCES. No one has everything and everyone has something of sorrow.
  * DON'T TAKE YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY.
  * DON'T LET CRITICISM WORRY YOU - you can't please everyone.
  * DON'T LET YOUR NEIGHBORS SET YOUR STANDARDS - be yourself.
  * DO THINGS YOU ENJOY DOING - but stay out of debt.
  * DON'T BORROW TROUBLE. Imaginary things are harder to bear than actual ones.
  * SINCE HATE POISONS THE SOUL, don't cherish enemities and grudges. Avoid people who make you unhappy.
  * HAVE MANY INTERESTS. If you can't travel, read about places.
  * DON'T HOLD POST - MORTEMS or spend time brooding over sorrows and mistakes.
  * DON'T BE THE ONE WHO NEVER GETS OVER THINGS.
  * KEEP BUSY AT SOMETHING. A very busy person never has the time to be unhappy. Times haven't changed - relax.

  last week during the public talk on sunday (no one from the public was there), the speaker.

  was criticizing or making fun of the catholic church for having law suits and paying out large.

  cash settlements due to pedofiles who were priest.. what really honks me off is that jw's don't even know the problems that the wtbts has with.

  They need to re-read what Romans 2:21-24 says, "...do you, however, the one teaching someone else, not teach yourself? You, the one preaching "Do not steal," do you steal? You, the one saying "Do not commit adultery," do you commit adultery? You, the one expressing abhorrence to idols, do you rob temples? You, who take pride in law, do you by your transgression of the law dishonor God? For the name of God is being blasphemed on account of you people among the nations"; just as it is written.

  At my age, I still do tree climbing and removal. Every morning I religiously do my 'deep' breathing exercices. I've been doing it for the past years and it works. My monthly acupuncture treatment is followed by a lengthy body massage.

  sad emo, all ironworkers don't have the same function. The steel erectors or "connectors" are the ones who assemble the steel together followed by men you plank the floor another crew who who aligned the structure followed by men who bolt the assembled pieces together and finally the detail gang. These men are far safer than the "connectors". For myself that I don't entertain the danger of doing this type of work, if I did (like some have) they would not be in the business. Today's ironworkers have to abide by more safety rules and policies than the ironworkers of old. Osha has changed many rules about erecting buildings, many.
  My purpose of bringing up this subject is, even though you CAN see the beam directly in front of you, do you the have faith to walk this beam which is many stories above street level? People ski-dive, people jump off bridges into canyons with only their ankles tied off. These people can SEE.

  Sad emo. "...but how does he or anyone else watching know for certain he's not going to fall off?" There are not guarantee's in this trade. being busy in erecting the structure keeps our mind off falling. The possiblity of falling is ever present but it isn't our main focus, doing the job at hand is. Over time it becomes second nature. We are talking about faith, it takes faith to believe in yourself that you can perform the job under dangerous circumstances.

  I worked as a high steel worker for 40 years. My job was to erect steel. To walk on narrow steel beams many stories above street level took FAITH. Faith in yourself. How did such faith come about? If you think I read books about how to work and walk on narrow beams, sorry no such thing.
  There are many activities that people engage in that reveal faith. What is this faith based on?

  2007 Masters - anyone watching?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  tiger woods finished the day with a +3, and when he walked off the 18th, there were a dozen or so in front of him, or had potential to be in front of him.

  there was virtually no chance at first glance that he would end up in the final pairing for sunday.

  the entire field came back to meet or fall behind him, except the aussie, stuart appleby at +2.

  Tophat, I'm into nature's beauty. I've had a golfing buddy who went to the Masters and he said, what we see on tv is no where near the actual beauty when you see the course in person. This is true, because I have played many private courses and they are well manicured. Nature's beauty is awesome!
