We Decide

"We cannot tell what may happen to us in the strange medley of life. But we can decide what happens in us...how we can take it, what we can do with it...and that is what really counts in the end."

Calm Thoughts...

This was sent from a friend. It was her horoscope for today.

"Choosing to keep our thoughts calm allows us to complete our work efficiently and with the least amount of stress. While a heavy workload can make us feel pressured, it is often our own stressful thoughts that compound the problem. If we can instead choose to adopt a peaceful state of mind regardless of our obligations, we instantly release a large amount of tension from our minds. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, we feel calm and focused on our tasks and accomplish them with greater ease. This calm mind-set also enhances our ability to concentrate and be productive. You can enhance your level of efficiency and accomplish your tasks more easily today by choosing to stay calm and collected."

Dance... Just Dance

Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly...
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass.
It's about learning to dance in the rain.

Attitude is Everything

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today?" So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. "H-M-M," she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today?" So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. "Well," she said, "today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail." So she did and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head."YEA!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"
