Strolling Down Memory Lane - At 55 Mph by Julie Huggins

For as long as I can remember, falling asleep has been difficult. Over the years I've employed a variety of methods to get the job done including prescription sleep aids, working a second job, staying up 'til all hours behaving raucously with friends, and reading the latest edition of The Wall Street Journal online. Each method has worked with varying degrees of success, but lately the simple task of sleep has become more elusive than ever.

Why Can't I Ever Be Good Enough? by Kimberly Krueger

"Not enough" often begins as a simple quest to be a better you. At first it feels normal, natural, reasonable even. You want to excel, to achieve, to do your best. But somewhere along the way, the "enough" line in the sand gets moved, and before long you are routinely holding yourself to standards you would never dream of imposing on those around you. So the question then becomes, "When does it make sense to let those comparisons go, in the name of actually experiencing that happiness, joy, success, satisfaction, body- and self-love they have been promising to deliver to you one day, some day, when you finally measure up?" And the answer is, "now."

How to Stay Sunny When the Sun Isn't Shining by Darcy Eikenberg

As the seasons change from summer to autumn, there's an attitude change in the air, too.

What's This Life Thing Then? by Derek Haines

It has taken me some amount of time to understand that life is not a noun, but a one word question. Yes, I know the bit about breathing and oxygenating the blood and pumping hearts et cetera, but that's biology. We don't seem to equate the life of an ant with our own, so we must be talking about something different here.

Beware the Enemy Within by Nyangu Simpungwe

It is human nature to shun that which is befitting and beneficial to one's own purpose. If what you set out doing does not come out right, you have to move to an era where you are called upon to raise certain basic questions about whether an edifice which produces fear, de-motivation and failure must not be restructured and refurbished. Your thought edifice can only be refurbished and restructured by clearly defining your ideals [principles, values, ethics and morals]. By so doing, we avoid preparing ourselves to gamble with disaster.
