Try everything twice. On
Madams tombstone (of Whelan's and Madam) she said she wanted this
epitaph: "Tried everything twice...loved it both times!"
Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (Keep this in
mind if you are one of those grouches.)
Keep learning: Learn more about the computer, crafts,
gardening, whatever. Never let the brain get idle. "An idle mind is the
devil's workshop," and the devil's name is Alzheimer's!
Enjoy the simple things.Laugh often, long and loud.
Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you
laugh, spend lots and lots of time with him/her.The tears happen: endure,
grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is
ourselves. Live while you are alive.
Surround yourself with what you love: Whether it's family,
pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your
refuge.Cherish your health: If it
is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond
what you can improve, get help.
Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to
the next county, to a foreign country, but not to where the guilt is.
Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.Forgive now those who made
you cry. You might not get a second time.
Butterfly
-- Author Unknown
A
man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared. He
sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to
force its body through that little hole.Then it seemed to stop
making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it
could, and it could go no further.So the man decided to help
the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining
bit of the cocoon.The butterfly then emerged
easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings.The man continued to watch
the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would
enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract
in time.Neither happened! In fact,
the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen
body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.What the man, in his
kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon
and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny
opening were God's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly
into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved
its freedom from the cocoon.Sometimes
struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If God allowed us to
go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us.
