“For many of us, the computer is the means by which we earn a living. To give it a nod, then, is a way of thanking the tool for what it provides in life. It helps put bread on the table and a roof overhead. It gives us work and pleasure, exercises our minds, brings us information, connects us with other people. It is a partner helping us achieve our goals. Nodding also thanks the unseen hands and minds who helped create our machine.” PeopleWayGivingMindMeanHelpingHandsGoalPleasureAchieveInformationExerciseGratitudeComputerToolsMachinesTablesPartnersBreadThanksRoofUnseenOverheadNodding Author:Philip Toshio Sudo
“The most interesting people I know drink in life and savor every drop-the sweet and the sour. The good and the bad. The planned and the unplanned... Right in the midst of what seems to me to be a detour from the map, I'm often gifted with something precious and unforgettable. Capturing the moment is a choice, a way of life. It requires us to wake up, live life, and be present-here, there and everywhere. Sometimes that's scary; sometimes it's exhilarating. Always, it's an adventure I keep learning to welcome with a full and grateful heart.” PeopleKnowsWayHeartSometimesMomentsSeemsChoicesInterestingAdventureSweetGratitudeDrinkWake UpGratefulScaryWelcomeLive LifeMidstMapsGiftedMost InterestingSourExhilaratingUnforgettableDetoursKeep LearningGrateful Heart Author:Luci Swindoll
