I read the reminder with a great deal of interest and it encouraged me to remember the great power that can be harnessed when many voices are raised in concert.

It is closer than you think. Retirement today means something different than it did to your parents. Today it frequently means the beginning of a second career that suits your interests and talents. For some this is by design, for others it is born of necessity. You can take specific, measurable steps today to plan and save for a comfortable "second life". If you work at a company that has a 401K plan, immediately maximize your deduction for that plan. It is a very old concept, pay yourself first! Many companies offer matching contributions and that means free money for you. Do not fall into the trap of gambling with your retirement funds. Remember, balance in all things. Depending on where you are, your balance will look different from your co-workers, each person has a different viewpoint. Consult a financial professional about your 401K as part of your dream life design. It can make the difference in a "second life" you love to live! ************** PROSPEROUS AFFIRMATIONS - Money now flows freely and joyfully into my life.

It is only through others that we may know ourselves and gain consistent harmony with others. Seek out those in your life that you desire to exist with harmoniously; look at those in the workplace, the community and at home. You eliminate ill-harbored feelings toward someone, when you are supportive of their feelings and what they mean to them. It is then that you may know the other and yourself, giving way to understanding and caring, forming harmony in your relationships. Now to Kipling: When Wild Dog reached the mouth of the Cave he lifted up the dried horse-skin with his nose and sniffed the beautiful smell of the roast mutton, and the Woman, looking at the blade-bone, heard him, and laughed, and said, 'Here comes the first. Wild Thing out of the Wild Woods, what do you want? ' Wild Dog said, 'O my Enemy and Wife of my Enemy, what is this that smells so good in the Wild Woods?' The Cat that Walked by Himself -- by Rudyard Kipling

Harvard University investigators say cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) beats out sleeping pills for treating chronic insomnia. The scientists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School report in the Archives of Internal Medicine they found the behavioral and relaxation techniques appear more effective in the short and long term than the most widely prescribed sleeping pill. "Sleeping pills are the most frequent treatment for insomnia, yet, CBT techniques clearly were more successful in helping the majority of study participants to become normal sleepers," said study leader Gregg Jacobs of the Sleep Disorders Center at Beth Israel and assistant professor of psychiatry at the medical school. "Our results suggest CBT should now be considered the first line treatment for insomnia, which is experienced on a nightly basis by one-third of the nation's adult population." If insomnia troubles you, use a method of CBT, such as a relaxing meditation tape before bed. Get one of our soothing tapes and get a better night's sleep. There are GREAT meditation tapes available in the OurBestIdea.Com Webshop. The cop got out of his car and the kid who was stopped for speeding rolled down his window. "I've been waiting for you all day," the cop said. The kid replied, "Yeah, well I got here as fast as I could." When the cop finally stopped laughing, he sent the kid on his way without a ticket. (Just guessing he wasn't in Florida.) ++++++++++ AWARENESS There is a new article on utilizing candle magic to enhance your awareness practices.

When Mike was 5, he wanted a jungle gym set with swings that would take his breath away and bars to take him to the summit, and his father said, "Good grief, I've seen those things in backyards, and do you know that they look like? Mud holes in the pasture. Kids digging their gym shoes in the ground. It'll kill the grass." And Mike's mother said, "It'll come back." Between breaths, when Daddy was blowing up the plastic swimming pool, he warned, "You know what they're going to do to this place? They're going to condemn it and use it for a missile site. I hope you know what you're doing. They'll track water everywhere and have a million water fights, and you won't be able to take out the garbage without stepping in mud up to your neck. When we take this down, we'll have the only brown lawn on the block." "It'll come back," said Mike's mother. When Mike was 12, he volunteered his yard for a campout. As they hoisted the tents and drove in the spikes, his father stood at the window and observed, "Why don't I just put grass seed out in cereal bowls for the birds and save myself the trouble of spreading it around? You know for a fact that those tents and all those big feet are going to trample down every single blade of grass, don't you? Don't bother to answer, I know what you're going to say. It'll come back." Just when it looked like the new seed might take root, the winter came and the sled runners beat it into ridges. Mike's father shook his head and said. "I never asked for much in this life - only a patch of grass." The lawn this fall was beautiful. It was green and alive and rolled out like a sponge carpet along the drive where gym shoes had trod - along the garage where bicycles used to fall - and around flower beds where little boys used to dig with iced tea spoons. But Mike's father never saw it. He anxiously looked beyond the yard and asked with a catch in his voice, "He will come back won't he?"
