A Real Friend, by Janice Brodowsky

A real friend is someone who tells you that they will always be your friend, even if you haven't spoken in a long time. They understand that sometimes life leads you through twists and turns, and still cares about you even if you get "lost" for a while. That is a friendship that is to be treasured.
May we all have at least one friend like that....

Kitties (a little off topic), by Janice Brodowsky

Ok, so this is a little off the subject of Mindfulness, but who can resist a cute Kittie...or two, or three, or more? Enjoy my little photo montage of my Cat Paws, along with other babies I've had over the years. I've also included photos I've collected of adorable cats for cuteness sake! :)
Enjoy,

Humor, The Best Medicine by Janice Brodowsky

We'll start with a quote:
"Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keep friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment."
Greenville Kleisser

How very true! Thank God for humor, as the alternatives aren't very funny. I believe there is an element to humor that not only helps us cope with pain, but can be healing as well. Think about the last time you laughed, and I mean laughed hard. The after effects of laughter and humor lifts us out of dark places, even if only momentarily.
Janice Brodowsky

When all else fails, my silly cat makes me laugh. Although this isn't a picture of her, she knocks things off of tables and counters all the time. The expression on her face after she does this is priceless, as she always looks at what my reaction will be when she does it. How can you not laugh!

A Rescued Kittie is Something to be Joyous About by Janice Brodowsky

My dear friend is adopting a rescued kittie this afternoon. Her name is Dee Dee and we're so excited that she will have her forever home and a mommie that loves her.
Janice Brodowsky

We can't wait to get her out of the little cage she's been in for 2.5 months, and into a warm house with good food, a warm bed, and fun toys for her to play with. This is sheer happiness that I wish I could share with everyone! Her new mommie is going to adore her!

Janice Brodowsky : Review of "The Idiots Guide To Buddhism"

Janice Brodowsky : Review
The Complete Idiot's Guide to BuddhismThe Complete Idiot's Guide to Buddhism by Gary Gach

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Janice Brodowsky : Very brief review
Your typical "Idiots Guide" or "Dummies" book. It's a good book for the absolute beginner who knows nothing about Buddhism. Has the typical cute icons and blurbs along the way to explain things in a simple way.

Lessons Learned by Janice Brodowsky

Janice Brodowsky:
There is some comfort in knowing that others have been through difficult times and have gotten through them. These difficult times are supposed to make us stronger. It's too bad that these life lessons can't be learned from joyous events. I guess that's the nature of life.
