“What really does work to increase the feeling of having a home and its comforts is housekeeping. Housekeeping creates cleanliness, order, regularity, beauty, the conditions for health and safety, and a good place to do and feel all the things you wish and need to do and feel in your home. Whether you live alone or with a spouse, parents, and ten children, it is your housekeeping that makes your home alive, that turns it into a small society in its own right, a vital place with its own ways and rhythms, the place where you can be more yourself than you can be anywhere else.” WayNeedsFeelsChildrenDoeFeelingsHomeOrderTurnsWishParentAliveConditionsComfortTenIncreaseSafetyRhythmSpouseCleanlinessGood PlaceRegularityHousekeepingHealth And Safety Author:Cheryl Mendelson

“Gangsters live for the action. The closer to death, the nearer to the heated coil of the moment, the more alive they feel.

A gangster becomes as addicted to the thrill of the battle and the potential to die in the midst of it as he does to he more attractive lures in his path.
