Last Sunday I read a short, but wonderful, book by Randy Pausch called The Last Lecture. You have probably read or heard about him. Although he was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer, he made the most of his remaining months and tried to pass on some important perspectives about life to his family, students and friends. There is much to think about in this book regarding family life, getting and enjoying a job, priorities and the necessity of a positive attitude no matter the challenge. This is right up there with Tuesdays with Morrie in my list of important "reads." www.thelastlecture.com
Then again, I just learned about the NieNie Dialogues through an article in the Sunday NY Times. It is amazing to me that a young wife and mother in Arizona, "reporting" on marriage and motherhood in her blog, would have attracted readers from all over the world. I think they were drawn to her celebration of life and love...especially when many these days are so cynical about them. Then came the tragedy of a private plane crash in which she and her husband were critically burned. Now blog readers, TV audiences and others are following their progress and praying for them and their family.....me, too.
