Hospital Meditation, #4

On March 26, 2018 By jeff ludIn AttitudeLeave a comment

"Lessons Learned in 3205: Long-term Effect, Post-Crisis, Discharge, Home" Eventually most every crisis subsides. Eventually there's a return to whatever normalcy is. And then the question is, how to proceed? If there's residual effect from the crisis -- and there often is -- what adjustments are needed on the day-to-day to accommodate the new normal? …

Hospital Meditation, #3

On March 24, 2018March 24, 2018 By jeff ludIn AttitudeLeave a comment

"Crisis Illness Stresses Everyone Out." There's little doubt that intense situations can cause heightened stress. The heartbeat quickens, the breath becomes more shallow, the brow furrows, the focus sharpens. Adrenalin pumps through our system, firing the inner engine to respond to the matter at hand. It's one thing to be able to directly action whatever …

"With My Boy..." So our five-year old son was admitted to the hospital pediatric unit on Monday afternoon. Massive skin infections, multiple locations on his little body. I’ve stayed with him in his room a couple nights so far; he’s had good periods and not-so-good; after all, he’s really sick, and hospitals can be scary …

Indulge in Music

On March 16, 2018 By jeff ludIn AttitudeLeave a comment

For as long as I can remember I've enjoyed going deep into music.  Particular songs, a particular album, over and over and over and over again... I've not done that too often over the last ten years...maybe more.  Remembering how much I enjoy it, or rather, thinking of a song...letting it run, finding seven different …

Keep Striving…

On March 10, 2018March 10, 2018 By jeff ludIn AttitudeLeave a comment

...every day. It's not about being this way all the time, but striving to be so. We're only human, and being selfish sometimes is in our nature. And so is being selfless. That is God in our lives. So? STRIVE. [Quote from Thomas Merton.]

“After Sandy Hook”

On March 4, 2018 By jeff ludIn Attitude, InsightLeave a comment

A friend from college, Matt Mason, posted this piece on his facebook page today.  He graciously allowed me to share the poem here. This piece is a raw, heartfelt response to yet another mass shooting in America that happened in Florida.  Remembering back to 2012...Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, 20 six and seven year …
