Chili's,The Broken Cheeseburger, and You



Do you want to help, but not sure how?
Why not go out for dinner at Chili's?
Be sure to click on the link below and read the Broken Cheeseburger Story.
It is a great example of what I've been suggesting about being present and aware in every moment.
It's possible the waitress in the story was having a fight with her husband before work, or maybe her kids were sick, or maybe she had a large, rowdy party at another table. Who knows?
What we do know is this Lauren, paid close attention to the little girl who couldn't eat her cheeseburger because it was broken. She used her heart and her head, as well as her hands to give this family her best service.

Let's hear it for Lauren and the rest of the Chili's, staff who turned what could have been a not so good dining experience into a memorable one .
And let's plan on eating at Chili's next Monday.
Easy, peasy, if you ask me.

 Merry ME

Merry ME _____ I always breathe a sigh of relief when a storm veers away from Jacksonville.  At the same time it's hard not to feel guilty that it went somewhere else.  I was in no way prepared for Hurricane Sandy. Like a lot of others, I felt like the...

An Easter Miracle

How is it that after someone you love dies, time moves on even when it feel like its standing still? Philosophers, poets and writers have tried to answer that question since time began. I don't have the answer. I just know that, by what I can only imagine is the Grace of God, it does. When you heart is broken into something resembling a 1000 piece jig saw puzzle and there are no directions on how to put it together, somehow it mends. When some else dies and it cracks again, God stitches the old wound and the new wound together into a patchwork of healed scars. Fifteen years ago, when I watched my mother draw a breath then counted the seconds before she took another but none came, I sat by her bed and tried to imagine being a motherless child. Then I did what any kid would do, ran down the long hospital corridor sounding the alarm. "My mother isn't breathing." "My mother isn't breathing."  Want to see doctors, nurses, CNAs, and cleaning ladies tur...
