Many moments transpire in a day or so. Multiply this in a day or week or month or year and the challenge becomes gargantuan. Recently, I went to Cebu, Philippines to spend few days of summer vacation with my son and daughter. Other than the good moments came the sad moments when "melancholia" became real for me. I even came to the realization again and again when in fact it is almost a given: Every moment of our life is a teaching moment. This melancholia I refer to points to this almost uncontrollable feeling of sadness and loneliness when loved ones are not with me. More and more I pray to overcome it and as I say, learn from this moment.

Jerry Sandusky, called a child predator, was convicted by a jury of his peers, 45 out of 48 sex counts; a priest accused of molesting an altar boy and many other related cases make us even sadder. May there be more moments that will make us smile and rejoice that life is good.

May this realization begin with our own families and ultimately with our own self. God bless!!!
