Why Old Friends Matter
Brian Klein posted a topic in Life is Good,
We were friends with someone, a time back. At one stage, it might be decades ago now, we had a lot in common: we were both good at math but bad at French at school and had a shared liking for table tennis; or we had adjacent rooms at college and used to help each other with assignments and commiserate in the bar about failed dates or maddening parents; or maybe we were interns in the same big firm. These people remind us who we were, and how far we've come.

Turning The Cheek
Brian Klein posted a topic in Life Related,
I left home at 17 and begged my mum to do the same. She used to say, ‘I’ll leave when you are 18’, and then she’d look at my little brother and say, ‘I’ll leave when he’s 18’. But one day she rang up and said she was ready. She’d suddenly seen how my dad was dictating her life, and she wanted her freedom. We found her a little place near to where she was born and I moved in with her and my brother. Dad came home one day and his wife and son were gone.

Unexpected Changes
Brian Klein posted a topic in Life Related,
May 7th 1990 seemed like any other day but my state of mind wasn’t good. I was smoking weed, drinking and not wanting to attend school. I had this evil streak in me. I was so angry, and because I was hurting I wanted to hurt others.

The Other Foot
Brian Klein posted a topic in Life Related,
Jerry didn’t want me to witness the execution but I fought tooth and nail to be there. I couldn’t let him die in front of a room full of strangers. There were just two of us watching – myself and a relative of the roof contractor. The wife of Jerry’s victim wasn’t there, and I would say she’s the most sympathetic person I’ve ever known. She never publicly denounced what my son did, nor did she ever call for his execution.

Killer Forgiven
Brian Klein posted a topic in Life Related,
While I believed that forgiveness was generally a good thing, I had never considered forgiving the man who killed my mother. That brand of forgiveness was for extremists who went on Oprah. In fact, I strongly supported the death penalty, silently bitter that my mother’s killer had only received a life sentence.

Forgiveness Begins
Brian Klein posted a topic in Life Related,
From the moment ISIS kidnapped him, our Government’s support was superb and together we came to a decision to keep quiet about it. This went on for 18 long months – a time filled with prayer, hope, despair and endless worry. It was very, very difficult on my parents as well as on David’s eldest daughter and his second wife but in many ways it brought the family closer together.

Blox The Amazing
Brian Klein posted a topic in Pet Related,
My best friend, Dan, had adopted a shelter dog, Blox. Blox was a wackjob, boundless energy, very hard to housebreak, a challenging dog altogether. Nevertheless, Dan wasn't the kind of guy to give up on a dog, so he kept trying to get Blox to listen. Her name (Blox was a she) was coined because she was dumb as blocks... or so we thought.

RAY AND PAT BROWN
Brian Klein posted a topic in Life In Review,
Patricia and Ray Brown are probably the nicest people on earth and arguably the most surreal people you will ever meet. Having somehow escaped losing their minds after their tragic loss, yet, somehow rose above the anger and hate they felt. Teaching us all; life really is to short for petty stuff.

Chipotle Pumpkin Soup
Brian Klein posted a blog entry in HS Healthy Eating,
Food has this funny way of bringing people together even in the worst of times. We at Humanastory feel you might enjoy what recipes we have to share with you, from our home to yours. We need to make it known, We are not a nutritionist in any way, but rather, we are simple people just looking for great foods. This pumpkin soup got our attention awhile back when, at first, we were trying to be a little healthier, but didn't want to eat cardboard. On a personal note, I follow my tongue when it comes to food, if my tongue doesn't like it, my brain says 'nope'. And it said yes to this!

Two Simple Words
Brian Klein posted a topic in Holiday Related,
The ensuing argument between the two left the girl angry at the man who was using the pharmacy counter as, his catch-all, while he waited in line (I guess it was just too hard for the man to go get a stinking cart). The man was at the girl for ringing his stuff up with mine and said a few nasty, yet colorful, words before telling her to fix it and then left for his place back in line, behind me. Ironically, both of them were mad at me for not saying anything, as if their misfortune was my issue.

The Promise
Brian Klein posted a topic in Health Related,
Suicide is not something I would have ever fathomed for our family. We grew up in a lovely Midwestern city in a red brick house with a white picket fence, a boy, a girl and a dog. My parents were happily married more than 30 years and were still together at the time of my dad’s passing. He was there for every one of our sports games, recitals and concerts and helped proofread our homework.

Positivity By Thought
Brian Klein posted a blog entry in HS Official Inspiration,
It is not always easy being a positive person, to look at the light off in the distance and call it what it is, a light that is seemingly to far adrift. But does it really hurt you to try? We completely understand it, negativity sells, which is why it is so much more popular, and we've always lived by the rule, if it is popular, go the other way. Besides do you honestly think your life is fulfilled with this, your current way of thinking before you even attempting to be positive?

In Time
Brian Klein posted a blog entry in HS Official Inspiration,
What has happened to the human voice; Vox Humana. Hollering, shouting, quiet talking, the buzz of life. This little bit of interesting life-lesson came to me as I was leaving the airport, this incident was in Atlanta. At first you leave the gate and take a train that took you to the concourse of your choice; I got into said train. Dead silence. Of course, there was a few people already seated and standing about. Up above you heard a voice, that once was the human voice, giving out instructions as the train began its journey; but no longer, now it talks like a machine, a mindless automaton, a mere specter of humanity's past.

Reflections of Time
Brian Klein posted a blog entry in Brian Klein's Blog,
I am reminded of that momentariness of the journey, that lonely walk; we all will take at some point in our lives. I am reminded of this perversion of life, on a daily basis. Most people will never experience the daily reminder of how precious they really are, or how life really is - this amazing journey through what can only be described as the cavern of time and space.

Why Humanastory
Brian Klein posted an article in News and Updates,
Humanastory was built out of the need for human companionship, a togetherness that only comes from people helping people. We wanted to be able to tell our stories and share our experiences with everyone who needed them. By us telling our stories we are able to share that moment that forever changed who we are. But the idea is to not just tell our story, but share the journey in how we overcame that moment in our lives, allowing others to read and see the story and connect to the one sharing it.

Small Thoughts
Brian Klein posted a blog entry in Brian Klein's Blog,
I tend to do my best thinking when it is late; it allows me to reflect the day and all the work completed - and when I reflect on the day, I really reflect, and try to analyze if I have done things in the direction I should be moving in the most positive way I can, but, more importantly, I ask myself the question "Have I done all I can do for everyone I can?" I won't say this has been easy creating Humanastory; as the idea behind it was to get the stories of success, love, and happiness, through the trials of the human condition we call living, and then show those who would otherwise falter on these small objectives; without support of some kind, some hope, through the support I am personally creating.

Four Thoughts Husbands Wish Their Wives Knew
Brian Klein posted a blog entry in HS Official Inspiration,
In life, no matter how rough it can be, you make of it what you will; and given the right type of tools and the correct mind set, you too can make the difference in another's life. I ran across this set of four thoughts from a male perspective I felt like sharing. But, mainly it reminded me of a small inspirational phrase I heard once from an old friend of mine.
"I want you, to want me; more than I want you. I want you to want us; more than you want me." - If we all felt this way about one another, life could be extremely different.

The Little Things
Brian Klein posted a blog entry in HS Official Inspiration,
We are constantly reminded, from inspired stories such as this how our lives have so many facets and when you don't stop to look around you tend to get lost in the minutia of the fickle little tide we call living. Take a moment to understand how to treat one another and how wonderful of an impact will have on that other living breathing person. We are by no means perfect, but we can all do something, no matter how small to brighten another's day.

Don't Sweat The Little Things
Brian Klein posted a topic in Health Related,
I learned a lot about communities by watching very poor people barter with one another. If some family had milk, another family might have vegetables and another might have fruit. People traded with one another. We had to depend on one another in that community in order to live, in order to survive. This was long before there were federal programs for people, and so the lesson from that was that we are interdependent, and that was the only way we would survive.

Treasure Each Day
Brian Klein posted a topic in Health Related,
I can vividly recall the carefree scene in my mind. It was a beautiful day, May 5, 1997. My fiancé and I had applied for our marriage license in Cape May, N.J. My mother accompanied us as our witness. While we were filling out the paperwork for our license, she asked if I was planning to run the Race for the Cure for cancer the next Sunday. I thought it was an odd question, and certainly unrelated to what we were doing at the time. "No, Mom. I haven't run in several years," I replied. In retrospect, it seemed my mother's innocent question was a bad omen. I had no idea then that in 24 hours, my life would be forever altered.

Inspired Changes
Brian Klein posted a blog entry in HS Official Inspiration,
The individual in this story inspired us some time ago to try this little act and for that we at Humanastory are all extremely grateful for the experience. Our experience began while having dinner at a restaurant one night. Before leaving we decided to leave an extremely generous tip to our waitress, and why not, we had it and didn't need the cash. It was what came after the tip that was one of the most spectacular and humanistic things we had ever seen.

Wait, Before You Go
Brian Klein posted a blog entry in HS Official Inspiration,
Wait, before you go; just know that you are thought of. I personally having been through my share of pain understand how you feel, I may not understand your situation; but I do feel pain too - I know the feeling all to well, lets chat a moment, let me get to know who you are. No one can stop your thoughts but sometimes those thoughts are just temporary. Allow the conversation, if only for a minute. I would like to share with you who I am in hopes you will share a little about you; "Hi, I'm Brian.."

That Perplexing Little Bugger (Life)
Brian Klein posted a blog entry in Brian Klein's Blog,
I am reminded constantly of how life can play those little games on a person's life. I would be lying if I did not, at times, think it had absolutely no affect on me in some way or another. Particularly today while I was at the senior luncheon with my mother whom didn't want to go alone to this function, she felt isolated at this, her first senior function in the new senior citizen mobile home park.
