Don’t become a fish out of water
By Chris Emmanuel
Looking out to sea, one sunny afternoon, I spied two boys fishing. One stood ready to cast the net, whilst the other pointed to where the fish swam. With effort, after a few tries, they caught a small fish and dumped it on the shore near the water’s edge as they continued on their quest.

Jealousy
“Jealousy is a supreme self-centered act.”
There she is, walking to her new golf cart. She is always smiling and all the boys look her way, she’s popular everywhere she goes. You just can’t stand her. Why? You don’t know. Something is the pit of your stomach tightens when you see her; you feel the burn of anger filling your chest. Could it be you are jealous?

A kid’s kindness
“The children can teach us if we listen”
Last year(2010), Collete Kase presented the essays on Kindness she collected from the schools around San Pedro one of the stories that didn’t win really struck a chord in me on the value of kindness and how it can shape the future for our children. I am reprinting it in this column to share with you. Keeping kindness in the forefront not only builds great communities but encourages the young to share so we can enjoy communication with them as they grow into adults.

Wounded Past
“Forgiveness frees you from your own Prison.”
A seed of love inside of you
This flower waiting to be born
When heart strikes joy beyond despair
Such ease of life seem to appear
Silent spark, a flame sustained
Taste of bliss on earthy plane
Internal treasure can’t be bought
Heartfelt song eternal sought
Passion lived is always shown
Felt by all the source unknown
-Emmanuel

Recipe for Sticky New Year Resolutions
“A resolution is a habit waiting to be made.”
It’s the beginning if a New Year and we all start thinking about what we can leave behind and what we can bring in new. New Year’s resolutions are a big deal for many people around the world and we hope to make these lists into real accomplishment. Most people are still working on last year’s list and generally laugh at the idea of new resolutions.
