I've actually formulated my "Break my Leg" plan. It's my plan for complete relaxation as soon as I break my leg. I'm sure I'll go through all that "Oh, gosh, I'm going to die…and I can't believe my leg is broken" crap. But right after that, and a lot of codeine, complete relaxation. I won't shower or change my clothes. I'll just watch Dexter and Boardwalk Empire and my house will be a mess. But you know what?! No one could say a thing@!!

People would feel sorry for me; and say things like "Dena, can we help with anything?" or "Can we send a casserole over?" "Hell, yeah!" I would say. "That would be great!

carenostenHappiness interview: Caren Osten Gerszberg.

I got to know Caren a few years ago through a mutual friend. She's a writer who covers travel, education, and is also a co-founder of the site Drinking Diaries ("from celebration to revelation"), along with Leah Odze Epstein.

Caren writes often about issues that touch on the subject of happiness, so I was interested to hear what she had to say.

Gretchen: What's a simple activity that consistently makes you happier?

Caren: Reading by the fireplace. Playing Scrabble with my kids. Waking up before dawn to catch an airplane. Watching a movie in bed. Spending Friday night dinner with my family. Hiking with my two dogs and watching them lope through the woods. Rock climbing to a point where I can look at a vista and let it seep in. Taking evening walks with my husband to the Long Island Sound, where we look at the water in

He said the ruling party has failed to live up to expectation. The outspoken lawmaker said the NDC administration is not worthy of a second term come the December elections because it has achieved nothing meaningful over the last three-and-half years for Ghanaians.

Speaking in an interview with Citi News on Thursday, Hon. Nyaunu said late President Mills failed to transform the lives of Ghanaians when he was alive.

He said "the NDC has a lot of promises they have to fulfill" because the party has not redeemed 90% of their campaign promises. "The NDC has simply failed the people and must act now."

He questioned why the NDC try to present President Mills as a saint, adding that it is only gullible people

What is your greatest asset? Do you know that you possess an asset that truly has magical power in it? This power is truly the "miracle formula" in life and it is contained in our consciousness. Your greatest asset is your mind and this magical power I speak of is your power to consciously choose what you are thinking.

Quite often we find ourselves with a never-ending stream of thoughts going through our mind. These trains of thought gain more control as we endlessly repeat them over and over again. These thoughts become the reality we experience.

You will change your experience in life when you learn to change what you focus on and what you think about. Disharmony in your thinking creates disharmony in your being. Disharmony in your being creates disharmony in your life. There is a quote from ACIM that says, "You may believe that you are responsible for what you do, but not for what you think. The truth is that you are responsible for what you think, because it is
