Habit or Routine

"All our life, so far as it has definite form, is but a mass of habits"  William James 1892

What is a habit?  Why do habits even exist? 
Does something cause a habit?  Are we able to change or cure one?

Routines and their importance are a part of the whole equation.

Read the powerful book: The Power of Habit   Why We Do What We do in Life and Business
by Charles Duhigg   Random House Publishing 2012

Simple but complex book for people always wondering how things happen even when you haven't given it a second thought.   Example:  We lock the door to the house, drive away and only than wonder if  the door is locked. 

Read it on your Nook or Kindle. Better yet- pick up a copy at the local bookstore.

Proud. Brave. Waiting.

Reading is Bipartisan
Jill Bide...

Don't Forget, God Bless our Troops by Jill Biden is a must read to all children. The illustrations by Raul Colon are priceless.   Reading is bipartisan when you curl up in bed with a good book to read to a child.

To Natalie, a five year old, a year of her life seems forever as she waits for her dad to return from his military tour overseas. You feel her struggle being strong for her brother and her bravery with friends. Remember, we have children all over the country waiting for a parent to come home.   

It's an election year.  Make your Vote Count. 

As an American citizen,  the right to vote is an honor.  Vote your choice after learning the facts.
Know where each candidate stands on war.  Both men support our troops but where do they stand on the conflicts happening around the world?  Do they plan to use diplomacy to avert more conflict? 

Let's end the sadness of a child waiting day after day.
