One day, someone showed me a glass of water that was half full. And he said, "Is it half full or half empty?" So I drank the water. No more problem.

:D That is a good way to put it...
Hi Jill,
Wow, that bubble greeting just woke me up!!! I was awfully drowsy while checking my e-mails. When I went to your blogspot, that bubble greeting popped up. Now, I'm wide awake. Thanks for the lively greeting and for perking me up. Anyway, that's cool. Smile.

What bubble greeting? I missed it...
I'm still chuckling about my being startled by your bubble greeting yesterday. Shortly after that I had to drive home - 1 1/2 hours long. Because I didn't get enough sleep the night before, I expected to pull over somewhere along the way to take a quick nap -- but your magic bubble had really kept me wide awake all the way home! I'm not kidding. Smile.
Just now I went to the ACIMTV website and saw your quote for the week in that little bubble. That's a great idea.
Karen, if you're having trouble finding it, click on HOME and wait a few seconds for the bubble to pop up. Isn't that cool??
Good morning! I'm all smiles! I love the bubble, too! Isn't it cool?! I plan to use it for weekly ACIM quote (20 second message). Very brief! Glad to know you like the bubble greeting. For those who haven't seen it, please go to www.acimtv.com and the bubble greeting will show up after a few seconds of loading (homepage). Enjoy!
Yup I got the bubble :o). I think it is cool!
We judge people based on our pasts... so we let go of our pasts and we will find it easier NOT to judge people... that is what being born again means. I will have to remember that.
My 10-year-old son is having problems with a girl who he has been friends with since the toddlerhood. It seems that the girl is growing up and of course, it means hormones are kicking in, mostly for her. My son is not "popular" (short and overweight and not fluent in ASL), and he was riducled a lot while he was a new student at the deaf school before going mainstreaming. So when he and she are along, they are great, talking and everything. But when she is with other people, it is different, due to peer pressure. I mostly let it go, just chalking it off as part of growing up but it bothered my husband enough to email to the girl's mom (GROAN!!)and blah blah so we all agreed to have a meeting this Saturday.
I am trying to think of a way to mollify all of us around, since I don't see it as a big deal. My son is embarrassed that his dad emailed to the girl's mom.
I am asking how I could handle it? I know the problem is not real, but only real to people who make it real.
Yes the problem isn't real. As A Course in Miracles suggests that we don’t have a problem; we only think we do. We believe in what we want to see in others and so we perceive as what we see. We then believe the problem is real because we put it there. To perceive is to judge… So the problem persists. This causes conflict and it calls for healing and forgiveness.
One needs to remember to love oneself for peace can only come from within. Where there is anger, conflict, stress, judgmental thoughts, etc… it cannot come from love and peace. It comes from fear. When in fear, the problem is real. When in love and peace, the problem disappears.
To think and speak words of love & peace can only bring healing. This is really an opportunity to forgive.
Please know that I send healing peace to your son, the girl and your meeting with the parents. May we all remember who we are that we are brothers and sisters - regardless of our differences. May we see the good in others and know perfect forgiveness.
As to how you can handle this situation, trust in God and know that this will resolve! This will be a miracle occurring for it means a shift in perception. Be grateful that it’s a wonderful forgiveness lesson!!
