A vintage napkin from 2004. I put this in my daughter’s lunch.
I am not sure I agree with this, do you? I like pride, I just think you have take it for what it is. It’s a type of compliment, either to yourself or to another. If you think it, acknowledge it then there isn’t much more to do with it. Pride doesn’t achieve anything, it just sits there. If you understand that is its place then I don’t think it is destructive.
What do you think?

I don’t believe this.I understand the idea that being unrealistically prideful can make one egotistical or make one think they are better than others. But the truth is we constantly encourage our children, friends, family members to be proud of themselves for great accomplishment. I want my children to be proud and I think it is good that they are when they do something worthy. I don’t believe acting on one hand like pride is bad while on the other pride is normal and healthy does anything to help them successfully integrate their actions and motives.What do you think?

recent vacation to Cape Cod and Boston over the 4th of July week.
It’s very easy in the current age to ‘see’ the world via photographs, video,
internet and words. It is easy to think you are exposed to it all. And in some
ways you are.
But go to that same place you have seen on TV and you quickly
realize how much more you experience in person. It is the air, the light, the
people, the accents, the birds, the animals, the manners, the food, the sidewalks,
the trees, the smells, the buildings, the events.
They all add up to the experience of knowing another place and reading more of
the book.
Go somewhere and really notice.
quote by St. Augustine – church father, 354-430 AD
