		<description><![CDATA[ My wife said something today I want to share: &#8220;I prefer Thanksgiving to Christmas because Thanksgiving is really about people and gratitude, while Christmas and it&#8217;s meaning often get lost in shopping and stress.&#8221;  If you are like me you say a hearty &#8220;amen&#8221; to that sentiment.  With that in mind I offer my reasons [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rickloy.wordpress.com&blog=1569529&post=16&subd=rickloy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Words can have an indescribably powerful impact in my life, good or bad.  I remember that totally bizarre  verse I&#8217;d sing when someone used words to hurt:  &#8220;Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.&#8221;  That is not the mother of all lies, but it&#8217;s close.  I can think of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rickloy.wordpress.com&blog=1569529&post=10&subd=rickloy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently had to confront the man in the mirror over an inconsistency I&#8217;d seen in him.   He had encountered a human behaving in a way that was unjust, untoward, deceitful, manipulative and presumptious.  He felt great anger and indignation over what he saw, and decided to confront this human.  Now, mind you, the man [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rickloy.wordpress.com&blog=1569529&post=7&subd=rickloy&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
