Person centered therapy is a talking therapy which was developed in the years 1940-1950. This type of psychotherapy is also known as client centered therapy or person centered psychotherapy. The person centered therapy was first developed by a psychologist called Carl Rogers.
While applying this therapy a very comfortable environment is created. A general genuineness and an optimistic attitude are directed towards the patient's problems.
In this therapy the patient is encouraged to find solutions to their own problems. In the person centered therapy a psychologist is required to help the patient by providing him with a therapeutic relationship.
This therapy forms the very basis of psychotherapies. Carl Roger also stressed on the closeness and the trust and faith which should exist between the client and the therapist. The person centered therapy stresses on the fact that the success of any kind of treatment depends upon the therapist's optimistic and genuine attitude towards the client's problems and not the therapist's skills.
While using this therapy Carl Roger pointed out that 6 things are needed when efforts are being made to change the personality of that particular individual. They are as follows:
-the client should not be anxious and should show trust in the therapist
-the client should also believe in the genuineness of the therapist
-the therapist should be very optimistic throughout the therapeutic procedure
Person centered therapy is used mainly to increase the person's self esteem. This therapy also aims to increase the general self confidence of the patient and thereby reducing any kind of guilt factors which may exist within them. By using this therapy a better self understanding is created within an individual.
While practicing this therapy the therapist listens to the client carefully without showing any signs of judgment. He does not interrupt the patient by trying to help him with any kind of advice.
Applications of the person centered therapy:
This therapy was first developed by Carl Roger in a children's centre. This therapy however is not specific to any age group and can be practiced on any age group population and a wide range of people suffering from different kinds of problems.
Person centered therapy can be practiced on
-people suffering with alcoholic withdrawal symptoms
-in individuals who suffer from any kind of depression
-used to treat anxiety
-individuals suffering from various kinds of personality disorders
This therapy can be used on an individual basis or in groups to overcome the problem which affects the individual.
While the person centered therapy is being practiced, the therapist generally use a one hour session. The client can visit the therapist whenever needed. The client can also decide when to stop the therapy if he feels confident enough of dealing with the various problems that may have to be faced by him in the future.
In most conditions the client seems to be more confident, with better self esteem, improvement in decision making capacity, the general sense of insecurity and guilt seems to be largely reduced.
The therapy may not be successful if the client does not believe in the therapy itself and may not show interest in the therapy. In such a condition no improvement is seen in the overall personality of the patient.

On Jan. 23, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to suspend the nation's statutory borrowing limit for several months, through May 18. The House measure would also require lawmakers in both the House and Senate to pass a budget resolution by April 15 or have their pay withheld until they do so.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said his chamber will pass the House bill without changes, and the White House has indicated that it will not block the legislation from becoming law.
Oklahoma's House delegation was split on the issue. Reps. Cole, Lankford and Lucas voted in favor of the bill (H.B. 325), while the two Oklahoma Freshment (Jim Bridenstine and Markwayne Mullin) voted against it.

"I have been teaching elementary and middle school grades for 19 years. Before using Reflex, I tried everything I could think of to get my students to become proficient in their multiplication and division facts (timed drills, mnemonic pictures, videos etc.). This year, my class has gone from about 21% overall fluency to that of 76% in a very short time, and I can definitely see that 100% of my students will be fluent in both multiplication and division facts before the end of the school year!

Daniel Craig Did NOT Say He's "Done" Playing James Bond, Despite Report
Daniel Craig has NOT officially announced he's "done" playing James Bond, despite an inaccurate report that's been wrongly picked up by numerous other outlets. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct this story. We're told it's "totally untrue."
According to the Daily Mail, Craig turned down a nearly $100 million offer to reprise the iconic secret agent in two more sequels. An unreliable source tells the publication that the actor supposedly informed MGM executives that the role "just wasn't what he wanted" anymore. The tabloid's so-called insider further claims, "Daniel is done. Pure and simple."
The paper's dubious source alleges the studio then threw "huge amounts of money" at Craig, but he's refusing to continue on with the franchise regardless. However, Gossip Cop checked in with a source close to the actor, who exclusively assures only us that the tabloid's claim is "totally untrue." Gossip Cop is also told "still no decision has been made" by Craig as to whether or not he'll sign on for more films.
It should be noted, Craig very well may not return to play the 007 agent, but he simply hasn't come to that conclusion yet, despite the Daily Mail falsely claiming the actor turned down a massive payday. As Gossip Cop reported, right after he finished filming Spectre last year, Craig told Time Out London that he'd "rather break this glass and slash my wrists" than do another sequel. "I'm over it at the moment," he added. "We're done. All I want to do is move on."
However, during a press conference closer to the film's release, Craig admitted, "Sometimes I say things, like I did when I was asked two days after I just finished shooting for eight months, 'Would I do another one?'" The actor explained, "That's what was on my mind… But, I have the right to change my mind any time I want." Gossip Cop will update when Craig does in fact make up his mind, but it hasn't happened just yet.

Kim Kardashian Files for Divorce After 10 Weeks
LOS ANGELES, Calif.– Kim Kardashian has filed for divorce from her basketball player husband, Kris Humphries, 72 days after tying the knot in a lavish wedding ceremony that reportedly cost $3 million dollars, according to gossip site TMZ.
Kardashian, 31, and on her second marriage, is said to have filed for divorce from Humphries, 26, on Monday October 31, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.
Ryan Secreast, who produces Kadashian's reality series, confirmed the divorce news on Twitter, writing, "Yes @kimkardashian is filing for divorce this morning. I touched base with her, getting a statement in just a few min."
In a statement released to the press, Kim writes, "After careful consideration, I have decided to end my marriage. I hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision."
A source confirmed to Us Weekly that the newlyweds are "not getting along at all," adding "Kris is not drinking the Kardashian Kool-Aid, and it causing major problems."
One source says Kim is upset over Humphries lack of employment due to the NBA lockout and his constant need to party on her dime.
The two were wed on August 20, in Montecito, Calif. after just nine months of dating. "On some levels," says a friend, "she feels like she made a mistake." Part of that mistake was documented on the second season of "Kourtney & Kim Take New York," which depicts the couple's wedding woes. "How am I going to have my career and live in Minnesota?" Kim asks Kris when he suggested they move back to his home state.
Kris responds by saying, "Baby, by the time you have kids and they're in school, nobody will probably care about you."
The couple reportedly have a prenuptial agreement and celebrity lawyer Laura Wasser has been tapped to represent Kardashian. According to TMZ, the pair's $10 million wedding cost approximately $138,888 a day as of October 31.Tags: California, Kim Kardashian Files for Divorce after 10 weeks, Kris Humphries, Los Angeles

One week remaining and I'm ever grateful that I've been working on this space for a year because I don't know that I could complete a room in six weeks! Kudos to all the ORC participants that are doing just that. Amazing!!
Now we're down to the details and, for me, this is the hardest part. I'm a big picture person to the core. And I also believe in curating a room so I like to take my time and collect pieces that I feel are just right. Ask any of my clients, they will tell you I move at glacial pace on the finishing touches. So, my plan is just to grab a bunch of things that may (or may not work) and then play. The best way to figure things out when you're not sure is to try ALL of them!
But before that, the hiccups… There weren't a ton. Mostly just me and my indecision. I obsess over finding a piece that's just right. I think this is the same reason why I SCAN the radio and I flip channels for hours. I live in constant FOMO. There could be a better show on, a better song, a better coffee table option. Oy vay. I'm a quirky little bird. At first, I thought a round table was just right. Jennifer found a Jonathan Adler one that we both loved… But once we taped the circle out on the rug, it was a no go. Too wide for a compact space. Back to the drawing board. I wanted to incorporate as much natural finish as possible with all the paint and velvet. And since we weren't going to do the rattan chair, I was craving that beautiful color and texture. So I flipped through my cranial rolodex of coffee table options and the clear weiner was the Blake Raffia Coffee Table from Serena & Lily
You guys. I've been trying not to attach the word LOVE with material things but, let me just say, I have strong feelings about this coffee table. In the words of Garth Algar "I like it a lot."
Next order of business: lighting. The room has recessed lighting which is a great start. However, it's a theater room of sorts, so we wanted options for degrees of lighting. We don't have a ton of spare floor space and I didn't want to add the bulk of table lamps, so we opted for wall lights that would be equal parts reading light for curling up with a good book and low romantic lighting for entertaining. We also needed plug in but with a cord cover, so that helped to narrow the options. For us, the Boston Library Light from Visual Comfort was a no brainer..
Okay, so the details. I would love to know how other people do it. Do you build in the details from the very beginning? I guess the artist in me likes to see how things evolve and what things reveal themselves to me. It's like some form of materialistic mysticism. Quirky bird I tell ya. So my plan is to color block the pillows pulling inspiration from the rug. We're definitely using this Quadrille beauty, which Jennifer affectionately refers to as "Hot Cross Buns" and it makes me giggle every time…
This one is also going to be in the mix because I love it and love Andrea and all that she does and has done.
Have you seen her latest collection? Yoinks it's good.
I'd love to share more, but if I'm being perfectly honest, we're wingin' the rest and crossing our fingers. We shoot on Monday and I am a nervous wreck. Send me some good juju if you have a minute. And after you do that, go see what everyone else is doing!

""Always eat before you leave the house because if you heard that I died, you will not have the appetite to eat, and I wouldn't want you to die and follow me."

Mom, I experienced and understood the impact of that statement the day you left. Fortunately, your counsel was so ingrained in my psych that it became second nature...and just so you know, I ate beans and planti that morning.
Thank you,

- Colours
Natural colours and softer pastels are always a favourite when it comes to decorating as it embodies the classical feel. But this year we are seeing people put away the neutral colours or giving them a more minor role in the interior designs as more daring combinations of colour are introduced in the interior. Blue seems to occur in many interior designs this year. Deep navy/blue and the blue of Mediterranean are especially popular. These colours are very bold and paired with other colours make a true design statement. Although it is a bold colour, blue easily works with other colours and will be a safe bet for many schemes.
2. Brass
Chrome, stainless steel and metal fixtures have been growing in popularity the last few years. However, the look of worn and unpolished copper and brass have become one of the trends of 2015 and will give your home more warmth and character. You can use these metallic finishes for anything ranging from lighting and kitchen hardware to furniture and accessories. You can even make your own brass items and incorporate them in your interior.
- New and Old fusion
There is an interior design rule that tells you not to mix old and new together. However, as seen with brass elements in the interior, fusion of old and new will make your interior more interesting and exciting by creating stylish yet comfortable rooms. The combination of rustic/retro with contemporary/modern will make your interior the point of conversation with your family, friends and guests.
- Reuse and DIY
The trend of the 'old' in the interior discussed above is very strong this year. Second hand and found things are being reused and recycled into elements of the interior creating a more individualistic and unique look. One can use old furnishings and give them new lease of life by changing upholstery or painting them. Some opt for making their own brass elements or finding pieces of wood and stone to create different accessories for the interior.

We had a business and wanted to update its image. After meeting Kelly we contracted Puro Design to help us rebrand and show we are relevent in todays market and that we are looking forward to the future. Together we found a new name for the business and a new logo. Puro Design developed our website - it all happened so fast. After a few tweeks we accepted the design and have not regretted our decision. It was developed in Wordpress so it is easy to update and we don't have to call on Kelly to maintain it. Not only did Puro Design develop the website, but also our van graphics, business cards, presentation folder and more. Since signing off on the initial work we have been back to Puro many times. Kelly is always ready to help and I thoroughly recommend Puro Design.

Described as 'the best thriller of the year' Sunday Express, the No. 1 bestseller introduces retired cop Bill Hodges in a race against time to apprehend a killer.
A cat-and-mouse suspense thriller featuring Bill Hodges, a retired cop who is tormented by 'the Mercedes massacre', a case he never solved.
Brady Hartsfield, perpetrator of that notorious crime, has sent Hodges a taunting letter. Now he's preparing to kill again.

Expect page-turning suspense, jaw-dropping twists and all the addictive brilliance of a classic Stephen King - FHM
When it comes to grabbing an audience by the throat and giving them no choice but to keep reading, King has no equal, and I challenge you not to finish this novel in one breathless sitting . . . King transcends genre, and is too warm and compassionate a writer to settle for jaggedly noir suspense. - Guardian
King aficionados will be riveted from the first explosion of violence to the final, equally seismic climax - Financial Times
A tightly plotted crime novel that retains that essential, instantly recognizable flavor that has distinguished King's fiction for more than 40 years . . . On one level, MR MERCEDES is an expertly crafted example of the classic race-against-the-clock thriller. On another, it is a novel of depth and character enriched throughout by the grace notes King provides in such seemingly effortless profusion. It is a rich, resonant, exceptionally readable accomplishment by a man who can write in whatever genre he chooses. - Washington Post
Hypnotic and creepy, it deserves to be ranked alongside King's masterpieces - Daily Mail
Nobody can do it quite like Stephen King . . . He's a storyteller; one you'd have listened to for hours, as the sun set and the gulls cried on the dockside at Piraeus - Spectator
America's greatest living no
Stephen King is the bestselling author of more than fifty books. His novels include Carrie, The Shining and Revival. His novel Under the Dome is now a major TV series. His novel 11.22.63 won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Mystery/Thriller as well as the Best Hardcover Book Award from the International Thriller Writers Association.
Many of his books have been turned into celebrated films including Misery, The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. Over the years, King has had various cameo roles in film adaptations of his books as well as playing rhythm guitar in the Rock Bottom Remainders, a rock and roll band made up of some of America's bestselling and best-loved writers
He was the recipient of the 2003 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. He lives with his wife, novelist Tabitha King, in Maine, USA.

Congratulations! You have survived summer vacation. Maybe you got a job at that one firm. (Yeah, that one.) Maybe you taught the next entitled generation for endless hours daily with little pay. Maybe you got to experience Racism: International Edition™ as you studied abroad and learned that the word "exotic" does exist in any and all languages. Maybe you even got to relax! Regardless, we're all back to the grind now. But as you get back into things, keep the most important thing in mind: yourself. Let's talk self-care.
- Say no once a week.
I know, we're at Yale. Land of "I'll sleep when I'm dead." Land of feeling bad when you have nothing to do. Land of – YOU DESERVE A BREAK. As you go through your week, think of the last time you said "no" to a commitment. Your friend will forgive you if you miss one of his a cappella concerts. The fight for social justice will go on if you can't make it to one protest. Clubs have a board for a reason—so that no one person has to do it all. Remember these things and when you need to, say a polite, but firm "no."
2. Sleep.
All-nighters have become an unhealthy, but almost inevitable part of many people's college experiences. We've all done it. We have social events, classes, sports, and extracurricular commitments during the day, and missing out on any of these sounds like the end of the world. Still—SLEEP. I promise that you'll get to enjoy these things more when you are actually rested.
3. Make time for people you love.
While many of us were drawn to Yale for its academics, let's not forget the reason we actually stay: the people. No matter how busy you get, remember to make time for the people you enjoy—whether they're a significant other, your best friend, or just an acquaintance. Taking these steps to surround yourself with people that love, support, and uplift will only help you flourish. Yale is not an island, and neither are you.
The life of a broke college student is not easy, especially for low-income students. However, that does not mean you are never allowed to treat yourself. Save up to see your favorite band in New York, or get that snack food you've been craving. Or walk to East Rock. Treating yourself can be free! Whether you invest extra time, money, or attention, don't hesitate to indulge every now and then. Remind yourself that you matter. You're worth it.
5. Tell your friends how you're really feeling.
Self-care can also mean helping other people understand what you need. Talk honestly to people about how you are doing. Having conversations that dig a little deeper than, "Oh, I'm good" are critical to keeping yourself emotionally unblocked and free. Get some of the things that keep you up late at night out of your head so you can do more of Tip #2.
6. Therapy is nothing to be ashamed of.
Let's repeat that again: therapy is nothing to be ashamed of. Therapy and mental health can be taboo topics, especially in many POC communities. However, seeking professional mental health assistance at Yale can be an incredibly positive and powerful experience. Take the time to find the right therapist—it's worth it. Even if there is a bit of a wait, setting up appointments by phone is easy at (203) 432-0290.

This week's prophetic portion is Ezekiel 37:15-28:
Thus says the Lord YHWH: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel…with the stick of Judah…and they shall be one in My hand…Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, will gather them on every side, and will bring them into their own land. I will make them one nation…on the mountains of Israel, and one King shall be king to them all…I will save them…and will cleanse them, and they shall be My people, and I will be their God. David My servant shall be King over them, and there shall be one Shepherd… and they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant…forever, and My servant David shall be their ruler forever. I will cut a covenant of peace with them. It shall be an everlasting covenant… and I will be their God, and they shall be My people, and the nations shall know that I YHWH sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary shall be in their midst forever.
Ezekiel 37:15-28 various
Abba, thank You for Your more sure word of prophecy in which we can trust (2 Peter 1:19).
We praise You for watching over Your Word to do it (Jeremiah 1:12; cp. Isaiah 55:11).
Your Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Psalm 119:105
We are so blessed that all of Your promises – both in the Old and the New Testaments – are yes and amen in Messiah (2 Corinthians 1:20).
Yeshua, we exalt You.
I saw Heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! And He sitting on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.(Revelation 19:11)
Lord, while at times we are confused as to where we are at on Your prophetic timetable – You know!
Israeli Prime Minster Bibi Netanyahu is under another investigation for possible wrong-doing. This time it concerns financial gifts he received from friends. He needs our prayers as this is not a good time for him to be distracted or diverted from defending Israel on the world's stage.
Lord, we thank You for Israel's prime minister.
We thank You that as of now, all previous investigations against him have proven to be just smoke.
Give him all the grace He needs to get through this time without being distracted from the critical issues Israel is facing (Psalm 80:17; Zechariah 4:6-7).
As there seems to be a war of attrition against Bibi by both the political opposition and the media, we ask for You to be a shield about him and the lifter of his head (Psalm 3:1-3).
Protect him and do not allow any unjust weapon formed against him to prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
Like Joseph and Daniel did when unfairly accused, let Bibi also turn to You (Psalm 50:15).
Abba, bring this investigation to a quick resolution (Psalm 64:1-10).
This past week, that soldier who killed a subdued terrorist in Hebron was finally convicted of manslaughter. While sentencing will not be for another month, there was no joy in Israel over this verdict. Some agreed, some disagreed and thus this week's prophetic portion speaks into Israel's current mindset. We need God to make us one.
Lord, shut the mouths of all politicians and the media when their goal is personal gain (Daniel 6:22).
Raise up in this nation those judges and counselors that You promised (Isaiah 1:26).
Lord, regardless of how we feel, we desire for truth and justice to prevail (Psalm 89:14).
Abba, enable the IDF to learn a lesson from allowing this trail to be done publically.
When the sentence is given, may the judges take into account that the terrorist who was killed – was a terrorist who tried to kill innocent Jews (Genesis 9:5-6).
May mercy triumph over judgment in the sentencing (Habakkuk 3:2; James 2:13).
Please prevent this verdict from inhibiting soldiers from defending this nation and themselves.
Give divine wisdom to IDF Chief of Staff Eisenkot and the rest of the commanders on how to gain the most benefit from this very convoluted and divisive situation (Romans 8:28).
Continue to surprise us all with the wisdom coming from the mouth of Defense Minister A. Liberman.
We prayed for God's wisdom to know what is on His prophetic schedule – that is, what He is doing or allowing today. There is some confusion as we pray into these issues as to what is an actual fulfillment of prophecy or what is the enemy trying to pre-empt God's timing.
As we lack perfect clarity in this, we ask You in faith to give us all the wisdom we need (James 1:5-8).
Make us like the sons of Issachar
who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do,(1 Chronicles 12:32; cp. Amos 3:7).
I will instruct you and teach you…I will counsel you…(Psalms 32:8) Thank You Lord.
Abba, we want Your kingdom to come and Your will to be done – on earth. Help us to know what to pray for so that we can co-labor with You to see this happen (Matthew 6:10; 1 Corinthians 3:9).
Give us discernment to see Your hand moving and also the hand of the enemy (Hebrews 5:14).
France is hosting a "peace" (actually "piece") conference starting January 15th to press for a solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Seventy nations will be there, but Israel refuses to attend. The danger is that if they agree with US Secretary of State Kerry's parameters of what peace should look like, or some other parameters, then France, or the Middle East Quartet [US, UN, EU, Russia] or another entity could present a resolution to the UN Security Council before January 20th – with Obama still in office.
Lord, this wicked conference wants to do whatever they want to Your land and Your nation. Arise God, and scatter Your enemies (Psalm 68:1; Joel 3:1-2).
Lord, You can even stop this event from taking place, as
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall(Proverbs 16:18).
Pour into the planners a spirit of confusion and fear (Psalm 129:5; Isaiah 33:7).
YHWH brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He breaks the plots of the people. The counsel of YHWH stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations.
Psalms 33:10-11; cp. Isaiah 40:17, 23
If there are genuine believers who will be involved – whether foreign ministers or their aides – cause Genesis 12:3 to become a flashing light, a harsh warning to them, even sending it to them in the night.
We declare:
Band together, you peoples, but be shattered! Listen, all you distant countries! Strap on your armor, but be shattered. Take counsel together, but it will all be for nothing; go ahead and talk, but it will all be for nothing, for God is with us.(Isaiah 8:9-10 ISV; cp. Isaiah 44:24-28)
We continued to pray for Russian President Putin to veto any further anti-Israel UN resolutions, as well as for God to hedge in the Obama administration in its last days.
The king's heart is in the hand of YHWH…He turns it wherever He will.(Proverbs 21:1) Amen!
As You used Cyrus, so use Putin to build up the nation of Israel (Isaiah 44:28-45:4).
May the increased tension between Russia and America recently turn Putin's heart so that he decides to resist Obama and Kerry until their final days in office.
Hedge in Obama and Kerry so that they cannot do any more damage to Israel.
Make the US Congress a pain in the neck to Obama & Co., diverting their attention away from Israel.
Give Netanyahu wisdom on what to say or what not say about the US administration (Proverbs 10:13a).
Lord Yeshua, wake up the American church to see that their divided nation is what their governments, for the past 28 years, have tried to do to Israel (Galatians 6:7).
May the Church in all nations who are resisting what You are doing with all Your heart and soul (Jeremiah 32:41), stand in the gap and cry out for mercy for their nations (Ezekiel 22:30).
Ever since the Oslo Accords were signed, the main hindrance to seeing this land divided has been the hard-heartedness and hatred of the Palestinian leadership. Golda Meir once said that there will be no peace until the Arabs love their children more than they hate us. We're still waiting. Meanwhile, God uses this heart attitude to protect His land and His people.
We thank You for the Palestinians missing another opportunity as they actually rejected Kerry's peace parameters, saying "No" to Jerusalem being shared; "No" to giving up the "right of return" of their so-called refugees; and no to recognizing Israel as the Jewish State.
We thank You that this rejection actually puts them at odds with most of the Arab nations!
Let them all be ashamed and turned back, those who hate Zion.
Psalms 129:5
Increase the ever-present division between all of the various Palestinian factions (Luke 11:17).
Cause the US Congress to stop America's financial aid to the Palestinian Authority over its brazen teaching of hatred towards Israel and the Jews in its textbooks, its paying salaries of terrorist murderers in Israeli jails and its incitement on the street and in its official media.
We asked God to awaken the Israeli Body of Messiah to the dangers of this hour.
Lord Yeshua, You told us to watch and pray (Mark 13:33). Help us to do it increasingly (Romans 8:26).
Messiah, may this verse come alive to many of the teaching elders throughout this land.
But the end of all things has drawn near. Therefore be of sound mind, and watch unto prayer.(1 Peter 4:7)
Pour out prophetic revelation of the centrality of the restoration of this land to Your kingdom purposes (Ezekiel 36:21-37; Malachi 1:5).
Pour out prophetic revelation of the centrality of the restoration of this land to Your Son's return (Zechariah 12:1-10; 14:2-4; Matthew 23:37-39).
Use the children of the Messianic believers to impact this nation for Yeshua (Isaiah 8:18).
Inoculate the Israeli Body against all the winds of doctrine that blow through this land (Ephesians 4:14).
Use the Messianic Jews in the IDF as that leaven that leavens the whole batch (Luke 13:21).
Lord, give us discernment to know what is from You and what is not from You that comes from the nations into this nation – in the name of Yeshua (Matthew 24:4-5, 11, 24-25).
Help us to guard the unity of the Spirit and to reject all other unities (Ephesians 4:3).
Israel still needs much rain or snow during this season.
Ask rain from YHWH in the time of the latter rain. YHWH shall make storm clouds, and He gives them showers of rain, grass to everyone in the field.(Zechariah 10:1) So we are asking You for rain.
But the land which you are entering to possess it is a land of hills and valleys, drinking water from the rain of the heavens. It is a land which YHWH your God cares for.
Deuteronomy 11:11-12a
Abba, please open up the heavens directly over the Sea of Gallilee and fill it up this season.
Continue to let it snow upon Mt. Hermon and other places in this land.
Aid Israeli scientists to come up with more water technology breakthroughs.
You, O God, sent an abundant rain, by which You sustained Your inheritance when it was weary.
Psalms 68:9
IFI's International Prayer Conference, Jerusalem starts January 16th.
Please pray for us to have a hearing ear as we endeavor to be led by His Spirit in every aspect of the conference and the prayer tour that will follow.
Pray for the daily video reports on most of the conference days that we want to send out to you.
Cover us for health and strength, for unity in the Spirit and for His joy coming from us knowing that we are doing His will during this time.
Be blessed and be alert
Shabbat shalom from Zion

SEOUL (Reuters) - KB Financial Group Inc (105560.KS) decided against buying ING Groep NV's ING.AS South Korean insurance unit after mulling over the deal for months, dealing a setback to the Dutch group's Asia divestment plans.
The board of KB rejected at a meeting on Tuesday what would have been a roughly $2.1 billion acquisition.
"KB Financial's board of directors decided not to pursue the acquisition of ING's South Korean insurance unit as <the board> decided it is more important than ever to maintain a high capital adequacy level... as conditions for the financial sector continue to deteriorate due to next year's unclear economic outlook," the South Korean company said in a statement.
KB, considered a frontrunner to buy the ING unit, had already cut the negotiated price for the unit to around $2.05 billion, sources previously told Reuters.
But KB's board postponed a final decision on the deal earlier this month when several independent board members maintained the price was still too high.
In Tuesday's voting on the deal, five directors gave the go-ahead but five rejected it and two abstained, a source with direct knowledge of the deal told Reuters.
KB and an ING spokeswoman declined to comment.
The sale of the South Korean unit is part of ING's wider Asia divestment program to repay its 10 billion euro state bailout received during the global financial crisis.
ING has announced two deals worth $3.87 billion -- to sell its Hong Kong and Southeast Asian operations -- since launching the auction nine months ago. It has, however, struggled to find buyers for the much larger Japan and South Korea units.
But the pressure on the Dutch group to quickly divest the remainder of its Asia business has eased after it last month won more time from European Union regulators to repay the state assistance.

There has been an intense battle between and South Korean giants Samsung and Apple over copyright issues. There is news that the ITC judge has taken the side of Apple over the dispute. Samsung was accused of infringing key portion of an Apple patent over a text-selection feature for smartphones and tablets.

The preliminary decision was issued on March 26, but was kept confidential until later. Reuters reports that the full commission will now have to decide on the judge's decision. The final decision is expected to come in August. If the commission decides to uphold the judge's decision, it can order any infringing device to be blocked from being imported into the United States. Apple as alleged that Samsung's Galaxy, Transform and Nexus devices among others were infringing it's patents.
Apple filed a complaint in mid-2011 saying Samsung had infringed a total of 7 patents. However, one of them was dropped during litigation. ITC Judge Thomas Pender found that Samsung had infringed four of Apple's patents. The other two, including Apple's patent that allows a device to detect if a microphone or other device is plugged into a microphone jack were, however dismissed.
The lawsuit between Apple Inc. and Samsung is not just going on in the US. The two companies are involved in a several legal battles that are being fought in different countries including South Korea, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Australian, UK.

A/N: I dunno, but all of a sudden, I've been totally stuck on Oliver/Katie stories. So here's a oneshot, 'cos I couldn't help myself.
Disclaimer: Freshman year my best friend and I threatened to do something like this. And we almost did. I think Jo is sorta past that phase in life, you know?
Katie Bell, Angelina Johnson, and Alicia Spinnet sat on their beds at two in the morning, gossiping and giggling, and eating loads of Honeyduke's finest.
"Well I heard that our deranged captain jogs shirtless in the morning!" Alicia told them conspiratorially.
"Ha! I always knew he was psychotic!" Angelina crowed triumphantly.
"Hey," Katie said indignantly. "Don't diss the joggers!"
Her friends rolled their eyes. "But at least you keep it to sane hours, Katie. You know, nighttime. If he jogs in the morning that means he wakes up super early—especially when we have dawn practices."
"Well I'll have to jog before school tomorrow, because he's scheduling practice tomorrow night," Katie pouted.
"Ha, you should do the damsel in distress thing and fake an injury!" Angelina crowed.
"Wouldn't that be great? She could pretend to trip—"
"—he'd believe it—"
"—and twist her ankle. Then he'd have to carry her back," Alicia mused, refining the plan.
"And you call him psychotic," Katie muttered.
"Psh, Bell, you can't deny that you've got a thing from our maniacally obsessed Quidditch Captain."
"So?" she asked defensively. "That doesn't mean I want to be all diabolical and crap and make him save me!"
"But that's the beauty of it," Angelina said, grinning wickedly. "We're doing all the diabolical crap for you!"
Katie yawned as she pulled on her running clothes—cotton shorts and a gray jumper—then stretched before leaving the tower. Out in the misty morning, she listened to her feet whisper over the damp grass as she routinely followed her running path. She stared down at the ground ahead of her, checking for anything that might trip her up. When she did look up, though, she saw the bare back of her Captain, out on his own morning run. Startled, Katie lost her stride, tripped, and fell.
And yes, she twisted her ankle.
"Sodding hell!" she snapped.
Oliver heard her outraged exclamation and dug his heels into the ground, spinning around. He doubled back to stand next to her, then stared at his Chaser, uncomprehending. "Bell?"
"Yes?" she asked innocently, as if she wasn't sitting on her butt with the morning dew seeping through her shorts and her ankle wasn't screaming in pain.
"What are you doing?"
"Having a tea party. Would you care to join me?" He smirked at her, and she rolled her eyes. "Well, I was having my nightly run."
"It's five thirty in the morning."
"I am completely aware of that, but your mad captaining has made my nightly run impossible for tonight, and I am therefore having my nightly run at an ungodly hour of the morning." Her ankle continued to throb unbearably, but she ignored it.
"But why are you on the ground?" He seemed dumbfounded by the whole situation.
"Well, the morning was just so beautiful, and the grass is all sparkly and everything, so I thought I'd just sit down and enjoy it for a few minutes, you know?" she told him, hoping he wouldn't realize she was injured. The boy was simply too chivalrous for his own good.
"You tripped, didn't you?" he asked, grinning.
Katie sighed in defeat. "Yes."
He chuckled and held a hand out to her. Katie grabbed it and let him haul her to her feet. The moment she was up, she fell back on her bum, gasping in pain. The amusement instantly slipped off of his face, replaced by concern, and he crouched down next to her. "What's wrong?"
He frowned, his brow furrowed with worry. "Dammit Bell, you're so immature." He glanced down at her feet, as did she. For the first time, she noticed that her right ankle was already beautifully swollen, and definitely not its proper color.
"Whoops," she said.
"How can you be so clumsy?" he asked as he unlaced her trainer and carefully slipped it off her foot, then pulled off her pink sock.
"Good question." She watched him prod her ankle in several different places. "What are you doing?"
"Praying to Merlin that you didn't break something." She yelped when he hit the spot, and he made a face, the worry still in his eyes.
"Only you could break your ankle falling down."
"It's broken?" she demanded, the color draining from her face.
"Don't worry, Pomfrey can fix this sort of thing in the blink of an eye," he assured her, brushing her hair back from her face. "Now come on, hold this." He handed her the shoe and picked her up, holding her like he might a child. This is where she was afraid it would go. The last thing she needed was her too-chivalrous Captain carrying her around. It was bad for the faint of heart.
Katie sighed and leaned her head against his chest, then pulled away instantly. She had conveniently forgotten that he wasn't wearing a shirt. He looked down at her and gave a small smile, not having noticed her startled reaction. "Really Katie, you've got to be more careful. I—none of us want to lose you." Katie caught the stumble and ignored it.
"Yeah, because you know the team would be shot to shit without me, right?"
He threw back his head and laughed, and she grinned in response. "So, how long have you been running nights?" he asked casually.
"Since third year," she responded, not guessing the trickery behind the innocent question.
"So two years of running this same path… in the dark… and the one time you run in the morning is the time you trip and break your ankle?"
Katie said the first thing that came to her mind. "Well, it your fault, you prat." She blushed terribly, and he smirked down at her.
"Really, now? How do you figure that, my dear Chaser?"
"Psh, you'll never get me to admit to that one." It was at that moment that they arrived at the Hospital Wing. The giant doors registered in Katie's mind instantly. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME GO IN THERE!" she screamed, struggling madly.
Oliver gazed at her, his mouth slightly agape as he held tight to her. "Katie, where did you think we were going?"
"I didn't think about it!" she continued to struggle. "Let me down! I don't wanna go!"
He just started laughing. Loudly. Katie stopped fighting and glared at him. "What's so funny?"
"What are you going to do if I put you down? You're ankle's broken, genius."
"I'll hop," she matter-of-factly. "But if you take me in there, I will never forgive you, Oliver-whatever-your-middle-name-is-Wood."
"What's wrong with the Hospital Wing?"
"Are you kidding? It's the Hospital Wing, for the love of God! People die in there!"
He was still amused. "Katie, since when do people die at Hogwarts?"
She scowled. "I'm not going in there."
"Want to bet?" He kicked the door open and rushed in before she could stop him.
Madame Pomfrey was instantly at his side. "She's broken her ankle, I think," the traitor told her.
"Ah, hold still, Miss Bell."
Katie instinctively pulled her foot out of the nurse's reach. Oliver frowned at her. "Katie, cut it out," he told her in his I-am-your-Captain-dammit-and-you'd-better-do-as-I-say-even-though-we're-not-on-the-Pitch-so-technically-you-don't-have-to voice. She settled for scowling impressively at him while Pomfrey fixed up her ankle.
"There you go, Miss Bell. Take this brace, and wear it for a week, just to support your ankle."
Much to Katie's shame, Oliver insisted on carrying her out of the Hospital Wing. "I'm never going to forgive you," she muttered mutinously.
"For taking you in there or distracting you enough that you broke your ankle?" he asked slyly.
"Both. And this is humiliating, by the way—my ankle's fixed, you know."
He ignored her comment. "So, what was I doing, exactly, that distracted you so completely?"
"As I told you, you'll never hear it from me. I am as a vault."
Angelina and Alicia came running out of nowhere. "Oh my gosh Katie, what happened?"
"Well," Oliver mused. "She tripped running and broke her ankle, so I had to carry her up to the Hospital Wing. Did you know she's terrified of that place?"
She blushed deeply as her friends turned their stunned faces to hers. "You actually went through with the plan?" Angelina asked, dumbstruck.
"Man Katie, I didn't know you had enough guts. And you really broke your ankle?"
"What plan?" Oliver wanted to know.
Alicia, not the brightest crayon in the box, rolled her eyes dismissively. "Well we had this whole idea where Katie was going to pretend to trip while she was running so you'd have to save her and everything, and you'd realize how you were direly in love with her. But obviously you've already realized that." Angelina smacked Alicia upside the head.
Katie could see him biting back a smile, which made her relax. At least he wasn't going to drop her and run. Screaming. "I have, have I?"
Alicia, glaring at Angelina, nodded. "Obviously. I mean you're being all protective and looking at her like a lovesick puppy and everything. I'm glad you two finally got together. Congratulations!"
Katie pursed her lips and Angelina groaned. "Alicia, you're an idiot!"
She stared at Oliver in pure wonderment. "You mean you haven't told her you like her? Good God Oliver, it's written all over your face!"
With that, Angelina clapped her hand over Alicia's mouth. "I believe we'll be going now. Enjoy your day. See you in class."
The two were left in startled silence. Finally frustrated, Katie looked up at him. "Well?"
"Well what?" he asked uncomfortably.
"You're joking, right? After all that? Good God, ask me to Hogsmeade or something!"
"Are you serious?" he demanded, looking at her as if she were mad.
"Screw you, Oliver. You're thicker than freaking Flint! I'll meet you at the Three Broomsticks at eleven on Saturday, okay?" she jumped down, and he stared at her, shocked again. Katie smiled and turned away, but he grabbed her hand.
"You're diabolical, Bell," he said, giving her a light kiss that sent her heart a-pounding. "I'll see you in practice tonight." He grinned goofily and let her leave.
Back in the Common Room, Katie high-fived Angelina and Alicia. "Great acting, girls," she awarded.
Angelina grinned. "Man, I liked the plan in the beginning, when it was the simple damsel-in-distress deal, but when you told us to make a scene—that was sheer brilliance."
Katie bowed. "Thank you."
Alicia wrapped an arm around her friends' shoulders. "So it only took a little coaxing—"
"—a little planning—"
"—a broken ankle—"
"—and our thick Captain realized that you were meant for him. Not too bad, ladies. Not too bad at all."

PARIS (Reuters) - Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday said talks with Northern Ireland's DUP about a deal to support her minority government had been "productive", and confirmed that Brexit negotiations would begin next week.
May met with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) earlier on Tuesday to thrash out a deal that would see the DUP support May in government after she failed to win an outright majority at an election last week.
"What we're doing in relation to the talks that we're holding, the productive talks we're holding with the Democratic Unionist Party, is ensuring that it is possible to, with their support, give the stability to the UK government that I think is necessary at this time," May told a news conference in Paris following a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.
"I confirmed to President Macron that the timetable for the Brexit negotiation remains on course and will begin next week."

Popina Swimwear moves to Hollywood…
Popina Swimwear is currently renovating the former Cosmetology College at 2030 N.E. 42nd Ave. as their new headquarters. They will move from their current location at 4831 N.E. 42nd Ave. in late February, according to co-owner Will Levenson.

In addition to an extensive inventory of styles, and in-house alterations and customizing, the store will have a children's area with fish tanks and a TV, plus a bar and TV for men, so that women customers can park their families while they shop. A grand opening from 1 to 6 p.m. March 7 will include live music and participation by Dosha Salon, Alaska Airlines, Mt. Hood Meadows and Kona Brewing.
…And so does Atomic Pizza
Jenna Forsley's Atomic Pizza, the pride of Overlook , will open a second outlet on Northeast Sandy Boulevard, immediately east of the Hollywood Theatre, probably late this month. Watch this space, or that space, for the specifics as well as the mozzarella.
Dove Vivi shares profits
Another pizza parlor, Gavin Blackstock and Delane Harnik's Dove Vivi at 2727 Northeast Glisan St., decided to share their profits this season of giving, donating 10 percent of their gross receipts to non-profits every weekend in December. One of the beneficiaries, the Sullivan's Gulch Neighborhood Association, reaped nearly $200 from this generosity. Dove Vivi is open from 4 to 10 p.m. daily.
Horn of Africa offers breakfast
Starting this month, Mohammed Yousuf's Horn of Africa will be offering breakfast from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekends. There will be conventional American breakfast items on the menu, but also the less familiar to the more adventurous. 5225 N.E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
Pizzicato to host Beaumont-Wilshire sign
A large new sign proclaiming "Welcome to Beaumont-Wilshire" will soon adorn a pole on Northeast Fremont Street at 42nd Avenue, courtesy of Pizzicato.
Last year company president Tracy Frankel called neighborhood president Al Ellis, told him the company did not feel it needed a large display sign for its outlet at 4217 N.E. Fremont, and offered to make it available as a welcome sign to the neighborhood. The two put together a contest for neighborhood residents to design such a sign. The winner, chosen from among 15 respondents, was Jack Kent, and his artwork should be in place by mid-month. All the contestants will receive gift certificates from Pizzicato.

Riccardo Muti: Age Vs. Youth in the World of Conducting
By the time most maestros near 70, they step away from the daily grind of the orchestra pit and start gingerly stepping toward retirement. Not Riccardo Muti.
Fresh from his 40th straight year conducting at the Salzburg Festival, and five-and-a-half years after his contentious departure from Milan's La Scala, the 69-year-old Italian conductor has taken on a position that was supposed to be his victory lap: the directorship of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
So far it's been a rocky start.

Based on a Nexus 5 set-up done by U.K. retailer Clove, the size of the update is 139.3MB (ignore the higher number on the screenshot in the slideshow below), although that figure could be different based on your region and your carrier. A download of this size could consume some of your precious data. A pop up box will give you a warning and will also apparently give you the opportunity to hook up to a Wi-Fi signal during the set-up process.
Just remember that you will need to install this update to complete setting up your Nexus 5, and the phone won't work without it. Overall, it is just a minor nuisance, but one that you should know about nonetheless.

MBBS; Ahern, Michael MD; Slavotinek, John FRANZCR; Smith, Malcolm D. PhDJCR: Journal of Clinical Rheumatology: September 2011 - Volume 17 - Issue 6 - p 323-324 doi: 10.1097/RHU.0b013e31822e0642 Case Reports Abstract Author Information Esophageal cancer usually presents late and carries a grave prognosis. Early diagnosis dramatically improves outcomes, and hence recognition of the varied presenting features, including hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA), may be important. Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy is a rare manifestation of esophageal adenocarcinoma and indeed may herald the presence of this neoplasm, as it did in the case we present. A 59-year-old man presented with signs and symptoms suggestive of inflammatory wrist, ankle, and knee arthritis, and imaging revealed changes of HOA. He reported dysphagia mainly to solids, and endoscopic biopsy showed adenocarcinoma. Cancer resection treatment led to clinical resolution of his musculoskeletal symptoms. This case highlights the importance of recognition of HOA as a feature of this increasingly common cancer.

DEAR BOB: I own two houses in trust. One is in WestVirginia. When my husband moved out of that house, he signed the papers totransfer title to me. I now live there for several months each year, but it isnot my permanent residence. I cannot claim a homestead exemption there becauseI claim a Florida homestead. Can I use the tax-free $250,000 exemption on theWest Virginia house if I lived there 24 months during the past five years?–Elinor T.
DEAR ELINOR: I presume by holding title "intrust," you mean in a revocable living trust. If title to the residencesis held in any other type of trust, such as an irrevocable trust, you are noteligible for the principal residence sale tax benefits of Internal Revenue Code121.
Purchase Bob Bruss reports online.
For the sale of the West Virginia house to qualify for theInternal Revenue Code 121 principal residence sale tax exemption up to $250,000(up to $500,000 if your spouse also qualifies and you file a joint tax return),you must have owned and occupied it as your principal residence an"aggregate" 24 of the 60 months before its sale. The 24 months neednot be continuous.
However, it must truly be your principal residence duringyour 24-month occupancy time. If audited by the Internal Revenue Service, youmust be able to prove principal residence indications such as a local bankaccount, car registration, driver's license, voter registration, employment,and filing income tax returns from that address.
From your description, especially since you have a Floridahomestead, it sounds like the West Virginia house doesn't qualify for IRC 121principal residence sale tax savings benefits. For more details, please consultyour tax adviser.
DEAR BOB: I recently purchased a condominium. I received thecondo association documents, along with an application to fill out. I wasshocked as I own two other condos and was never asked to fill out anyapplication to purchase a condo. This is not a cooperative apartment. I feelsome of the questions are intrusive, such as what is or was your lastoccupation, household income, and your net worth? Then it is up to the condoboard of directors to accept or deny my application. I presented my financialdata to the mortgage company, but I do not feel this is the business of thecondo board who are my future neighbors. Shouldn't the real estate agent havewarned me about this? –Shirley B.
DEAR SHIRLEY: Yes, the real estate agent should have clearlyshown on the MLS (multiple listing service) information that buyers are subjectto approval by the condo association board of directors.
Like you, I have never encountered a situation like this.But I have heard there are a few condo associations that hold such inquisitionsof new condo buyers.
Frankly, I wouldn't want to buy a condo in that complexbecause it could make the condo very difficult to resell in the future.
A major reason why cooperative apartments can be so hard tosell, and why they sell for less than comparable condominiums, is most co-oppurchases are subject to approval by the board of directors, which doesn't haveto give any reason for rejecting a buyer applicant.
DEAR BOB: I am inheriting my late mother's home. It iscurrently in probate. Is it best to wait for probate to finish to take title?Are there any tax consequences to taking title before or after probate iscompleted? –Lorraine T.
DEAR LORRAINE: You can't receive marketable title until theProbate Court approves the title transfer to you. If there are income or estatetaxes to be paid for the decedent, those taxes must be paid by the estate beforeestate assets can be distributed to the heirs.
However, the probate estate need not be closed beforeproperty titles can be transferred. Title to the home can be transferred to youby the Probate Court although the estate might remain open for further proceedingson other estate matters. Some estates remain open for many years.
Now you know why I recommend property owners transfer titleto their revocable living trusts so, after their demise, the assets can bepromptly distributed without probate costs and delays. Presumably your motherdied without a living trust or a will so probate proceedings were required. Forfull details, please consult a probate attorney.

We've found that energy bills can vary hugely. The ones we've looked at range from two to seven pages long and some include both gas and electricity, while others have completely separate bills.
Basic details like supply numbers, which can be required to switch, are in different places with each supplier and often not printed together.
To help customers who want to check that they are on the best deal, Which? Switch now has a full set of bills and annual statements from the six largest energy suppliers (British Gas, EDF, Eon, Npower, Scottish Power and SSE). The energy bills are annotated to show exactly where to find all of the information needed to get an accurate quote for gas and electricity.
Our research shows that rising energy prices are consumers biggest worries, with 83% of people concerned.
Get the best energy deal for you
Consumers don't always find their own energy bills easy to understand, according to our annual energy satisfaction survey.
However, knowing details like your actual usage in kilowatt hours and the exact name of your tariff can make all the difference to ensure you find the best deal for you, when comparing gas and electricity prices.
With just the information printed on your bill and your postcode you can use Which? Switch to see how much you could save by changing gas and electricity supplier. The service is free, impartial and accredited by Ofgem's (the energy watchdog) confidence code for energy price comparison websites. The average saving when switching with Which? Switch is £217.

NOTE: The poem "The Sweet One" was written during the "Literature and Art of Cinema Workshop" held at the 2014 Silent River Film Festival. The poem was inspired by the short film Rainy Season, which screened at the Silent River Film Festival 2014 in Irvine, California. The film tells the story of one family's change of fate in post-war Vietnam.
The Sweet One
He was the sweet one. "Friday, he was here with me,
Gone Saturday," she weeps, before the day was done.
Grasshopper-hunter, fisher child, her youngest one
Who sleeps beneath the earth – first buried, last of three.
He bundled sticks for her, beneath the rubber tree,
And brought a remnant bomb from fields where cattle run,
And failed to wake or answer when she wailed, "My son!"
The smoke's confused pollution poisoning her plea.
No more a chief's great woman, but the grave's new wife,
She – fresh fatality from an archaic war
Which knows no borders, never ends, and needs a fence –
Grieves on and on, an innocent and pilfered life,
For nothing ever will, nor ever can, restore
What devastation takes, through dying innocence.
NOTE: The prose poem "Marilyn" was written during the "Literature and Art of Cinema Workshop" held at the 2014 Silent River Film Festival. The poem was inspired by the short film Story of M, which screened at the Silent River Film Festival 2014 in Irvine, California. The Story of M is about a girl who dreams of being Marilyn Monroe. The film is directed and written by Anna Arlanova.
Love Me Madly
When I was a child, my mother teased my fine, flat hair,
Wanting a bubbly blonde, a bombshell movie star –
One who could conquer Stalin, and possess the czar,
"Wow" in the worst ushanka ever made, and wear
Anything, anything at all, to anywhere.
You, in this dressing room – I don't know who you are.
Something about you bothers me, in truth. Bizarre,
I know – though something seems sweet and noble, too. I swear!
All of this baggage that I carry serves me badly.
What is the sense of all this world, if not to pose?
You, with your camera, Russian warmth, and boyish charm,
Acting as though you understood and love me madly –
Me, in naivety, and California clothes,
Hurrying to my hall rehearsal, far from harm.

Today was one of those days that reminds me of how fast time flies. I attended both #2's sixth grade graduating awards ceremony, and #5's end-of-Pre-K class picnic. Sometimes I am so busy "getting things done" that the emotional significance of certain days/events/moments only strikes me afterward.
Today, however, I had the feels.
As I watched one daughter draw her elementary school career to a close and another begin that same journey, I realized this parenting gig is flying by.
Yes, the days are long. Sometimes TOO LONG. But the years are short. And today was a reminder to me to remind myself to pull my head up from the busyness and BE in the moment with the kids.
Below is the reprint of an article I published about a year ago on The Huffington Post. I never posted it here on my blog, but I decided to today, because it's meaning is so essential.
I'm still working out this balance. You probably are, too. But this is what it's all about.
The days are long, but the years are short. Life is always busy, but don't let it fly by with your head down over your work.
They Won't Remember The Clean Towels
I missed the sun this weekend. Not as in, "aww, I wish it was sunny today. I miss sun." No; we've thankfully had quite a few decent days here in the Northeast since winter began releasing its vice-like grip. But our Sunday was beautiful; a made-for-order spring day where the grass is suddenly greener, the sun is warm, inviting and glinting like diamonds off every metallic surface.
Or so it appeared through the windows of my house. I didn't venture beyond the doorway of my house because I was consumed with my "To-Do" list.
Weekends tend to be crunch time for me. With everyone home, the laundry quickly piles up, the sink is endlessly crammed with dishes and the only way to maintain order is to keep plugging away at it. Most of the time, I wrangle my fellow family members into contributing. But this weekend, the kids were so enamored by the sun and the warmth that they could not wait to go outside.
(OK, I lied. When I suggested that they go outside, they were initially not into the idea, because they've grown so accustomed to not being outside. But then I said that they HAD to go outside, because I'm the mom, and I. Said. So.)
Soon, there were all sorts of happy shrieks emanating from our yard, only occasionally punctuated by the thump of a child falling off the tire swing, followed by the wail of said child. Not because there was an injury that has occurred, mind you, but because the child is begging his/her siblings to slow down and let him/her back on.
I could have paused in my cleaning to push the tire swing, or to sit for a few minutes and enjoy their glee. But I didn't.
The backyard antics were soon replaced by a lengthy bike ride, courtesy of my in-laws, who despite living right across the street from us, never seem to tire of being fun grandparents to countless kids. They suggested a bike ride around the neighborhood; instantly, the kids scrambled into helmets, onto bikes and pedaled off down the street.
The house was quiet. That's rare. I was able to be extremely productive, without distraction. That's also rare.
Several loads of laundry were washed, dried and folded. Dinner was settled into the crockpot. The kitchen counters were scrubbed, the carpet vacuumed, the toilets scrubbed and the papers were filed.
The kids were gone for a few hours, and when they finally returned, their smiles were bright, and their cheeks were glowing… from both the sun and the massive ice cream cones they'd eaten.
And I'd missed it.
It's not that I couldn't have joined in the fun if I'd wanted to. I could have hopped on a bike and watched my kids pedal along. I could have laughed with them. I could have admired how their biking coordination and speed have improved since last year. I could have enjoying the sensation of the warm sun soaking into my arms as I enjoyed a beautiful Sunday afternoon with my kids.
But I didn't.
By that time, dinner was on the table, the sunset was filtering through the windows. Dinner was eaten, or flung in giddy fistfuls (thanks, toddler), the table was cleared and the bedtime routine began. Each closet had clean, folded clothing in it. Everyone would enjoy the luxury of a freshly laundered towel for at least a day or two. The carpet was still relatively crumb-free. And that was good.
Sunday was dwindling toward a halt. And I'd missed it.
It's a given that the tasks need to be completed for the sake of household harmony. But sometimes, I struggle with that balance. At times, the chores do need to take priority. But on this clear, sunny, Sunday full of happy kids, I knew I'd missed out. The towels could have waited a little longer. The vacuuming could have waited an extra day; it's a given that there would be more crumbs tomorrow, anyway.
I could have been outside. I could have been connecting with my kids, out in the sun, in the moment. And I felt it. I felt the tinge of regret, as the night drew to a close. There will always be dirty towels. There will ALWAYS be crumbs. But they won't always want to ride bikes together. And they won't ALWAYS be little.
There will always be a "To-Do" list, particularly for us stay-at-home parents that are perpetually surrounded by the things that never seem to get done. But sometimes the "To-Do" list needs to include "Make memories outside with your children." Because they won't remember the clean towels. They definitely won't care about the crumbs. But they just might remember the day you cast your housework aside and chose to be in the moment with them.
