Ash Wednesday Introspection

Posted on February 23, 2009 by greenbucks| 7 Comments

On Wednesday, February 25, 2009, the Roman Catholic Church community will be celebrating its Ash Wednesday.

For those who were baptized in this faith, whether they are devout Catholics or not, some look forward to this day not just to have ashes on their foreheads but as a starting point in the celebration of Lent, which is the commemoration of the passion and death of Jesus Christ.

The Weekly Question will focus on this church celebration:

Ash Wednesday means repentance but I will not ask you to list down the things that you feel you have to ask forgiveness for.

If you were asked to recall the things that you do, what were the things that you think should be improved and worked on for you to be a better person?

Consideration to Others

Posted on February 2, 2009 by greenbucks| 10 Comments

Consideration to others for me is about courtesy.

It does not entail people to bow their heads in reverence to other people, not its not that.

Consideration encompasses not just respecting the opinions of other people, recognizing their personal space and doing things not just for your own benefit but for the benefit of others too. It shows in courtesy, knowing that there are other people besides yourself.

One of the things I don’t like to see are people who show (intentionally or unintentionally) actions that clearly do not show the proper decorum, especially when they are in public.

Take a look at this photo I took last week while I was waiting for my to-go order from a popular local food chain:

So the weekly question will focus on this photo:

What would you do if you see this in a restaurant?

Women’s Health

Posted on January 18, 2009 by greenbucks| 7 Comments

Women are prone to health issues as they grow older. Well, men do too, as they grow older.

There are different health conditions that may affect women as they age, menopause and hot flashes for one, vaginal dryness, memory gap, urinary tract infection, depression, migraine, osteo-arthritis and a list of conditions we don’t want to hear happen to us.

This is probably the reason why we have resolved to be healthier and more fit as we celebrate each new year.

With a long list of women’s health concerns, what is it that you dread to hear the doctor say to you?
