make-a-bad-day-better

They are inevitable. Bad days happen to everyone. But, there are things you can do to make them better. Here are a few… Play with kids. I dare you. Give someone a compliment. Not a fake one, but take the time to see something that someone else is doing well. Sing in your car. And sing as loud as you can. Have you ever noticed how hard it is to frown while you are singing? Bake your favorite kind of cookies. Then eat some. Count your blessings. I mean it. Start a list of all the things you are thankful for. Write until you can’t write anymore. Staple it to the wall. Watch people. Go find a crowded public area, sit down and watch. Allow yourself to wonder what he ate for breakfast, or what her name is, or where he bought that shirt. Do something for someone you love. Do the dishes for your wife, take your niece out for ice cream, take your mom to Starbucks for a coffee. Pray. It’s because you expected it to be .What could be more encouraging that talking...

Wise Sayings

In just two days, tomorrow will be yesterday. Anything free is worth what you pay for it. Age doesn’t always bring wisdom, sometimes age comes alone. People will accept your ideas much more readily if you tell them that Benjamin Franklin said it first. Life is an endless struggle full of frustrations and challenges, but eventually you find a hair stylist you like. You’re getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster. The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. Life not only begins at forty, it begins to show. You don’t stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop laughing. Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.
