&lt;p&gt;
These stores could then start operating in the black, due to myriads of shoppers spending more money on this day than any other... Hence, the term "Black Friday".
&lt;p&gt;
Happy Shopping!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/aggbug.aspx?PostID=498729" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>TheShamaness</name><uri>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/members/TheShamaness.aspx</uri></author></entry><entry><title>Happy Thanksgiving!</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/TheShamaness/Happy-Thanksgiving/498707.aspx" /><id>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/TheShamaness/Happy-Thanksgiving/498707.aspx</id><published>2009-11-27T05:24:00Z</published><updated>2009-11-27T05:24:00Z</updated><content type="html">And for those of you with "shop til you drop" in order for Black Friday, may you be blessed with phenominal sales!

&lt;p&gt;
However, even with the article's subject matter, a quote that Donahue emailed to the writer made me laugh, so I thought I'd share it with you.
&lt;p&gt;
“I recently told my wife,” he wrote in his e-mail message, “that if you see me lying in a box with flowers all around, that means I’m only thinking about retiring.”
&lt;p&gt;
(This is probably more true than even he would think!)

&lt;p&gt;Self-discipline is actually a form of spiritual training. Therefore, the self-discipline it takes to adhere to a diet is spiritual training, as is the self-discipline it takes to run&amp;nbsp;a business, as is the self-discipline it takes to be a great sportsman, artist, musician or anything else. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Springing from&amp;nbsp;its latin form "disciplina" meaning &lt;em&gt;teaching&lt;/em&gt;, with&amp;nbsp; "discipulus" (having the same roots as&amp;nbsp;"disciple") meaning &lt;em&gt;pupil, &lt;/em&gt;the word discipline is basically referring to the training of a student. This being the case, any "self-discipline" would then entail being both teacher and student... a very spiritual practice!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/aggbug.aspx?PostID=495362" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>TheShamaness</name><uri>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/members/TheShamaness.aspx</uri></author></entry><entry><title>Looking to Buy a Pre-Owned Home?</title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/TheShamaness/Looking-to-Buy-a-Pre-Owned-Home/494491.aspx" /><id>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/TheShamaness/Looking-to-Buy-a-Pre-Owned-Home/494491.aspx</id><published>2009-10-22T18:47:00Z</published><updated>2009-10-22T18:47:00Z</updated><content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Follw the link at the bottom of this post for&amp;nbsp;"Ten Things to Look for When Buying a Pre-owned Home".&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Although many of you are already aware that I don't agree with our President on some issues, this I do agree with, yet only to some extent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He has done some great things for the women and men of our country, including lifting oppression of all women and men. I was thrilled to see him approach the torture issues at Guantanamo Bay, at least with bringing it out in the open, also. He is also couragous in his position.&amp;nbsp;However, his tactics and ways of accomplishing it are not always so peaceful, which can overtly cause other forms of pressure, and this is what my concern is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, it is still the great things he did that way that gets him nominated anyways.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a prime example of the question "does the result justify the means?" &lt;/p&gt;
