8. Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
11. Especially do not feign affection.
12. Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
13. Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

About This Blog
In Thornton Wilder’s play Our Town, the central character dies an early death. Emily is given the chance to revisit a day of her life and is advised by those in the afterlife to pick an ordinary day, warning her that she might be overcome otherwise. Still, Emily is overwhelmed with emotion as she recognizes how wonderful the everyday details of her existence were. Her daily routine takes on new significance now that it is gone. Through her tears, she asks:
Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it– every, every minute?
With this blog, I am trying to fully “realize” my life by documenting the things that I love. I want to appreciate and examine my past and present, as well as plan actively for the future.
I hope to accentuate the positive in my life and in the world around me, with the hope that by focusing on the positive, I will draw more positive elements into my life. Or, at least, realize all of the blessings that I do have.
Bob, the author of this blog, is a 33 year old husband, father, son, teacher, Christian, and liberal.
I’ll take one on…you chose.

Greg, thanks for being such a good sport!
How interesting. I have the Disederata up on my hallway wall. I am hesitant to offer my blogging prowess in this area but if you get no more response I might feel brave enough to try verse 12. Are there any rules?
Thanks for popping over and leaving a comment. How we love them!
What a great concept. However I’m too cowardly to even try. But I”m fascinated to read the outcomes!
