Faithful Habits

The desire to be connected somewhere to someone, to a group seems to be universal, and yet many people feel alone and lonely even when they are around a lot of other people. This blog is about getting connected; exploring what it takes to become an integral part of the lives of others and have them become part of your life.

Come Sunday morning I enjoy singing in a large group. But when I had a lingering bronchitis uttering any sound was difficult for me. But during that time I could still be in that large group feeling the joy in my heart, whispering my song and being supported by the other singers. I felt their support for my weakness. Other times I am able to sing out strong and perhaps support someone else who's voice is weak. Supporting and being supported is a core principle of life. Love others as you love yourself.

Why write a blog? Because I can. Is that a good enough reason? Just because I can, should I? There are many things I can do, but not all of them are beneficial - to myself or to others. So why write a blog? (or why read a blog?) The main reason I see is because in writing a blog I examine my ideas my motives the inner working of my thought processes. While thinking deeply about what to write I grow to learn more of myself and of others. So, for me the reason to write a blog is to grow. In addition to the benefit to myself I believe that there is also benefit for others.

Exploring is the act of going over an area to search out and investigate.

To be Better is to improve in excellence, to decide more wisely, to behave in a more appropriate or acceptable way.

A Way of Life is a course of conduct, the manner in which we live, breathe and do.

To spend time exploring a better way of life is about how to increase joy!
