		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t remember what we were all talking about, but a few weeks ago I made an offhanded remark about being commitment-phobic to a college friend.  I think we were talking about my hesitance to buy a house in this market.
His response?  &#8220;But you&#8217;re married.&#8221;
I knew within weeks of beginning to date Stephen [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The following quote has been on my Facebook profile almost as long as I&#8217;ve had an account:

“Say nothing of my religion. It is known to God and myself alone. Its evidence before the world is to be sought in my life: if it has been honest and dutiful to society the religion which has regulated [...]]]></description>

If you&#8217;re a doctor and you don&#8217;t want to perform an abortion, the vast majority of us are okay with that.  If you don&#8217;t want to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been making a concerted effort to get eight hours of sleep every night this week, and yet from 6 a.m. to 6:45 a.m., I&#8217;m snatching up bits of sleep between hitting the snooze button.  Most of this week has been on autopilot like that.  
It&#8217;s not the day job that&#8217;s causing it, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Traveling down memory lane on iTunes tonight, I found all the CDs I so painstakingly collected between 1995-1998.  A lot of it by British musicians, obscure and hard to find in a small Southern town before widely-available internet.
I would be really uncomfortable being the one to buy a thirteen-year-old some of these CDs.
Also, kids [...]]]></description>

Don&#8217;t just apologize for what you know other people heard/saw.  Apologize for the whole infraction.  Don&#8217;t pretend you didn&#8217;t realize what you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the paper journal, from various entries written this spring.

It seems a rite of spring, to want to give birth to something new.  To have a mind fertile and full of new ideas. 
I have lived a year half-asleep in routine.  I have worn deep grooves in my soul.  I have ignored [...]]]></description>

First:  Roxana Robinson&#8217;s Cost.  The excerpt in NYT was promising, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I read somewhere that life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react.  I agree that how you react to events largely determines your quality of life, but if these percentages were on a slider, I&#8217;d probably weight them differently – perhaps even as high as 30% what happens to [...]]]></description>
