Katie Couric - Heaven

I was excited to see Katie Couric's new show today, as it was my first vacation day since it has aired. I was somewhat disappointed in the interviews. Just as Dr Neal was about to get to Heaven Katie cut her off and wanted to know what happened when she got back to her body. I felt like I was watching a good movie and the electricity went out.

What do you think Heaven is like?

Missing good conversation?

Me too! I have a new job recently and am very grateful!

I'm still missing a really good conversation. Fashion, shopping and shoes just aren't my life! Between texting who you're not with and ignoring who you are with, I don't get it? We are suppose to be more connected then ever and yet we are more distant than anyone realizes.

Here's the challenge. Put your phone down and meet a friend for a good conversation. Just pick a topic that you may have a great debate(not and argument!). Everyone has a right to their opinion but not force it down someone's throat. Express your reasons for your opinion. Don't make your goal to change anyone's mind.

3 words... Actions -- Have -- Consequences

Everyone needs to take responsibility for their behavior. Their choices.

You make your choices. You choose your behavior.

Stop making excuses!!!

Are we really so messed up we need "The Revolution"?

I start, yet again, by saying, "Is it just me"?

What's with this new trend in daytime television telling us how messed up we are? Especially women! We apparently don't know how to dress, or eat, or entertain, etc. No wonder we all have high blood pressure and heart disease and eat ourselves sick. We are so stressed out not measuring up. Do I really need a gay man telling me how to dress? I'm just saying...

Experts? Really? How do they qualify?

I, for one, will except myself as is. If you don't like it, you know where to get off.

The soaps may have been useless TV, but they were only meant for entertainment.

Except who you are and boycott these shows! "What not to Wear", "The Chew", "The Revolution".

Are you superstitious?

I am folding laundry and have Rachael Ray on the television. I see her throwing salt over her shoulder "for luck". Really? Does she really believe it's going to bring luck?

Whether you are spiritual, religious, atheist or agnostic you can't possibly believe superstitions are true.

If you are spiritual or religious, do you really think God is up there looking down saying, "oops she just walked under a latter, bad luck". I think not.

If you are atheist or agnostic then who or what would bring the bad luck or good luck?

What would you tell your 16 year old self?

I recently saw a bunch of tv personalities talking about a new book which interviewed rich people and asked them what they would tell their 16 year old self. Oh yeah lets hear from the rich people. "I would tell myself not to worry about money". " I would tell myself not to worry about taking care of my mother. She would have all the care she needed". Bla Bla blaaaaaaaaa

Okay lets hear it for the rich people who have no worries about money. Now for the rest of us. Why didn't they ask the average or homeless person what they would tell their 16 year old self?

I would tell myself, forget about being happy. It's not really attainable for most of us. If you don't worry about being happy, you will have a lot less to worry about. Forget about doing what you like to do. You will be poor and more unhappy. Get a government, state, county, town or union job. At least someday you will be able to retire with a pension. Whatever you do, don't ever believe working hard will pay off. It doesn't!!! Do the job you were hired to do. Whatever extra you do, do it for yourself. No one else really gives two hoots! They will use you up and kick you to the curb like last weeks trash.

Why is it so easy to catch a bad mood?

It always seems so much easier to catch a bad mood that it is to catch a good mood. One bad mood in a room or "The Room" and the whole place goes down in flames.
