Jamaica’s High Commissioner to Canada Sheila Sealy Monteith has recommended this brilliantly-made, two-part documentary that details much of Jamaica’s march to Independence.
.
The documentary is excellent …
.
It is recommended to all - Jamaicans and non-Jamaicans - and in particular to young people. It will help bring perspective to the struggle endured to gain the independence Jamaicans enjoy today.
.
This is extremely interesting and useful information on the beginnings of the process of Jamaica’s formal independence …….

UP Beat or Beat Up
==================
.
My husband, Edward has always been one to give the shirt off his
back, literally, or to give his last bit of change.
.
He never asks for anything in return and he is a very hard
worker and provides well for his family. Recently, I had knee
surgery and gall bladder surgery, and he worked and took care of
me and still had time for our three kids, all less than 11 years
of age.
.
It just seems that nothing ever goes his way and now we have
been kicked out of our home of six years so our landlord can
move her friends in. We have to find another place to live soon
…and I know we will.
.
I just feel so bad that no matter how hard Edward tries,
he never gets anything or anywhere.
.
I spend a lot of time trying to understand how someone like him
stays so upbeat.
.
I have prayed for guidance, and I have prayed for silly things
like for him to be chosen for something of value. I realize we
are blessed with three happy, healthy children and fairly good
health ourselves, but now my prayers are just that he may
receive a pat on the back or something just to give him a little
boost to go on trudging through what seems to be a meager

1. Thumb
Your thumb is nearest to you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you.
…
They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C.S. Lewis once said, a “sweet duty”.
…
2. Pointing finger
The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers.

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we’re frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough and we’ll be more content when they are. After that, we’re frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We’ll certainly be happy when they’re out of that stage.
…
We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.
…
The truth is, there’s no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. It’s best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.

Once there was a father and son who were very close and enjoyed adding valuable art pieces to their collection. Priceless works by Picasso, Van Gogh, Monet and many others adorned the walls of the family estate.
..
The widowed, elder man looked on with satisfaction as his only child became an experienced art collector. The son’s trained eye and sharp business mind caused his father to beam with pride as they dealt with art collectors around the world.
