Browsed through a bookstore today.  So many books.  Everyone looks good.  Recommendations.  How do I read them all?  Where do we begin?

I think it’s good I’m getting back my voracious appetite to learn, to read, to explore.

The internet.  Even more to read and absorb.  Every path we choose; every link we click; all lead us in another direction.  Another choice.  What have we missed by going this way rather than that way?

Where’s our guide?

Where’s the master plan?

Should we question?  Or, just assume that we chose a certain path because it was our destiny?

I’d venture to guess that there are no right answers, and no answers are wrong.  They’re all opportunities.  Whether good or bad, we can still learn from every new experience.

So, what’s your advice?  Mine is to just go with the flow.  Observe.  Interpret.  Use your own common sense and innate abilities to decipher and process the stimuli.  The only wrong decision is stagnation.

Go forth now.

• Do Money and Happiness Go Hand-in-Hand? How many times have you said to yourself: If I only had a few extra thousand dollars a year, all my problems would be solved? The truth is that money usually has very little to do with your personal level of happiness. In and of itself, money possesses no......
• Up Another 200,000 Sadly I'm not referring to the stock market.  But, the Alexa rankings of Where's Our Squirrel and it's subsidiary websites (The NCAS Forum, The Squirrel Forum, and Long Island's Topsites List).  The Squirrel is now ranked at 684,154.  Considering how many websites there are in this world, and that we've......
• One More Day 24 little hours. 1440 long minutes. An eternity in seconds. School bus pulling up to the curb.  Priceless. I picked a bad time to get sick.  Not that it will keep me from my annual celebration (it's a relatively new ritual), but I fear one of the boys will catch......
• The Myths about Long-Term Care Long-term care issues have been everywhere in the news lately – from stories of people needing these services to how the government is responding. But there is also a lot of conflicting, and even mistaken, information. Misconceptions may have prevented you from including long-term care planning into your retirement portfolio.......
• THE New York Yankees That should piss off about half the reader(s) of this blog. But, damn those Yankees are playing out of this world right now.  Which shouldn't be totally unexpected since their payroll is like three times the amount of any other team and they field an All-Star (and some future Hall......

• A little kindness might help I am haunted by an article in the Boston Globe Magazine from June 24, 2007 titled "Here Comes the Repo Man" a reference to the author's father who was a repo man for GMAC when the author was a child. She learned the lesson that when you can't pay for......
• Common Sense Reasons for Why You Are Still Fat Unless you have a medical or health problem that prevents you from losing weight, the following are the reasons you are still overweight. 1. You Don't Move Around Enough. This is real common sense. If you don't move around, you won't lose enough calories. If you don't lose calories,......
• More Phony Job Stimulus Numbers WASHINGTON: Get us some oxygen. Staffers at the NIP passed out when they saw the "revised" job stimulus numbers last Friday. Early in the AM Recovery.gov was still reporting 30,383 jobs created or "saved" by the stimulus. (Read our coverage of those numbers here.) When the AP had examined those numbers......
• Financial Goals for 2009 (part 7) We are looking at financial goals for the New Year. MSN Money lists 6 financial milestones to reach before age 30. If you are already over 30, these milestones are still worth looking into, but the real question is whether or not these milestones are good goals. Today we will......
• How do you know if you are making the right decision I can't answer this one, but it's a tough question. Thinking can get you into trouble. Too much introspection can be begloom-ing. (I really do like that word.) There have been several times in my life when I made a decision against the grain and acted on it. And sometimes......
