In my last post I suggested – no make that advocated – that when we find ourselves getting dragged down by the weight of the world, we could use whimsy as a lifeline back to sanity, resilience and perseverance … and in support of that advocacy, I’m dedicating this particular post as a present to Continue reading » Whimsy Day! Photo credit: markhillary How do you regain your resilience when an elephant just sat on it?Was it only a few weeks ago that I was jumping for joy? Indeed. But then a different kind of news came down the pike… Continue reading » An Elephant Sat On It Photo credit: Cushing Memorial Library and Archives, Texas A&M Where do you find your life lessons?
Sometimes life lessons are learned the hard way… and afterwards, we pick ourselves up and ask: Ok, what did I learn? And then we carry on. Sometimes life lessons are learned the easy way… they’re delivered by other people who have learned and shared.

And I’ll do my best to stay in touch both here at BouncebackCafe.com and however else our paths might cross. And, while I’m not encouraging you to cease and desist on those traditions that you treasure, I do think we could all do with a time-out.
