In a Race that Matters

It has been more than two weeks now since I did serious writing. I have not had the momentum to pen my thoughts lately because of the sudden change in our routine and the minor disruption in our life right now as a result of taking a sick family member home with us. I have lost much sleep as well so much so that I need to take my Mosegor Vita again just so I could catch some sleep. It has been a helter-skelter week indeed. Hub has been going to and fro, driving, running some errands, and likewise setting aside for the time being his assignments. I have been on a spin as well, tagging along with him and doing some chores especially in the kitchen. My lovey (writing, what else?) has been placed in the back burner for now.  Indeed, when you lose your train of thoughts because the environment is no longer conducive to writing, it is just difficult to start again.

For the past months, I have been scouring the net and devouring articles related to endtime events and Biblical prophesies that are unfolding right before our eyes at an accelerated if not whirlwind pace. As we examine the confluence of events taking place in unprecedented fashion - haywire in the geophysical realm which includes increasing rumblings (earthquakes), appearance of sinkholes, stirrings of the waters (tsunamis and hurricanes), flooding, scorching heat, etc., the political upheavals and civil unrest in nations across the globe, outbreak of diseases, breakdown of social and moral values as depicted by outlandish celebrations and exultations   over   the legal triumph   of gay marriage --- whew, it certainly looks like malevolent spirits long chained are now on the loose spreading gloom and doom and randomly shooting unsuspecting (snoozing) mankind with their flaming darts. Go figure.. scroll down this page and hit the links concerning these prophetic events.

I woke up today with a resolve to revive my ten-minute writing regimen to perk up my brain. It has been quite sometime since I last posted an entry in my blog, although I ve been spending time reading info on the web especially the litemind blog where I devoured valuable insights  on how to improve my thinking life.  I read about the thinking traps --all ten of them and what we can do to foolproof our mind. These traps hinder us from thinking rationally, and subsequently from making effective decisions. These are the following (in no particular order):  (1) Anchoring Trap        Sometimes we base our thoughts on the ideas other people feed  us. For example, if we were asked, "is the population of Naga City around 500,000? " Instead of getting the hard facts, we tend to answer with the ideas given as our "anchor." Perhaps we say, "more or less within that range" as we think that the info we received especially if comes from people w

  Kiddo, Dad and I were lounging lazily inside the bedroom on a Saturday when  O matter-of-factly prattled. O: Dad, Mom, when you are old,  I will take care of you. You both will live in my house so we are always together. Me: Oh, that's so sweet of you, son. I like that. But you know what? O: What? Me: When we are old, we'll be like babies again. And that means, you'll bathe us, feed us.... O: (frowns) Whaaat? Dad: (butting in) Yes. And you'll change our diapers, too. O: (With a sour face and pouting lips) HUMMMPH! I don't like it!  LILIPAT NA AKO NG BAHAY! (I am moving house!) Me and Dad:  LOL! Click THIS  for more quips.
