Fr. Glenn: Making A Joyful Noise
“Dour”: a word meaning sullen or gloomy … severe or stern. Synonyms: bleak, dismal, dreary, forbidding, sour, surly. Ugly. Hmmm … sounds charming.
It seems that one can encounter a lot of dour people. Not sure why. After all, as the old saying goes: What fun it that?

Some introverted may use dourness as a “shields up!” defense. Some are on the lookout to being offended

Los Alamos
My daughter was five years old and my son was three.
They were playing on the floor, happily rolling their Hot Wheels across the tile. “Uh-oh,” my son said suddenly. “My car broke. It had a nervous breakdown!”
My heart sank into my stomach and I realized I had screwed up my kids for life.
It was easy to understand why he was confused. When my children were young both the car and their mother broke down on a regular basis. As they got older the cars became more reliable. I, however, continued to have challenging episodes.
My mental health and well-being finally started to improve Read More
