Finding Peace
As I was wandering around the Minneapolis airport recently, I found a store with a variety of posters, cards, and wall hangings with quotes and sayings on them. As I perused the options, I found one that I had to purchase and bring back to the office. Here is the quote: Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. (Author unknown) This conceptualization of peace resonates with me in all aspects of my life.
The Peace Found in Forgiveness of Others
If you or I or any other were asked to compile a list of the ugliest traits of character that a person could have and that we run across in people I am sure that things like hatred, anger, bitterness, malice, and an unwillingness to forgive would all rank up there near the top of our list. People who possess these traits are not pleasant to be around. That is not to say they have no friends but only that the kind of person that takes up with them is very likely to share some of the same traits they have. And, I might add, one of the positive things about family is they are likely to love you no matter what so they will put up with you.
7 Reasons Why It’s Important to Live from Heart Consciousness

Proper Care for Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is the inability of the heart to pump blood effectively to the body. CHF does not mean that the heart has stopped working completely, but does mean that the heart is not pumping as strongly as it should. As a result, some of the blood that is normally pumped out of the heart backs up into the lungs and other parts of the body, causing a build-up of fluids in the body (resulting in swelling), shortness of breath and fatigue. While prevention of heart failure is optimal, it’s important that those who are diagnosed, along with their family members, know how to maintain quality of life and provide proper care.
