Lebanon on the brink --- and why it matters
By Caroline B. Glick
Hizbullah, Syria and Iran have good reason to be happy. When the next
war erupts, rather than fighting them, their two greatest foes may well
spend their time and energy fighting each other

"Thank You/ Gratitude: Formulas, stories and insights" By Rabbi Zelig
Pliskin
Few of us realize that cultivating a genuine sense of gratitude will
impact on our happiness, our marriage, even on our sense of self-worth.
Being ungrateful for the many blessings in our lives distances us from
our Creator and spoils our relationships with other people
TODAY: Ask other people what they are grateful for
