Writing is Fun!

Whoever said, “Writing is fun?” Well, whoever said it probably didn’t attend graduate school or doctoral studies. Because in college and grad school – WRITING WAS NOT MUCH FUN!

The Good Old Days

No doubt, at some point in our lives, in our daily conversations with family and friends, we have fondly recalled “the good old days” – remembering how it used to be. Stuart McAllister in his book: Ah, the Good Old Days describes it this way: “Nostalgia is an interesting thing. It embellishes our memories and makes the past look and feel so much better than it really was. I have a relative whose skill as a storyteller is almost unsurpassed.

If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight. If a child lives with fear, he learns to be apprehensive. If a child lives with pity, he learns to feel sorry for himself. If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy.…
