Thought For The Day

[mountainlion20032003]

For hugs are good over and over again.
This hug is just a way to say,
I like you in a special way,
A hug, a squeeze and cuddles too
This one's free from me to you!

If you think there can be,
then you will surely see them."

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind.
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her.


She told her boyfriend, "If I could only see the world, I will marry you."
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.
He asked her, "Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?"


The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that.


The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.
Her boyfriend left her in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.'
This is how the human brain often works when our status changes.
Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.

Life Is a Gift

Today before you say an unkind word -
Think of someone who can't speak.


Before you complain about the taste of your food -


Think of someone who has nothing to eat.


Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to GOD for a companion.


Today before you complain about life -
Think of someone who went too early to heaven.


Before you complain about your children -
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.


Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn't clean or sweep -
Think of the people who are living in the streets.


Before whining about the distance you drive -
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.


And when you are tired and complain about your job -
Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.



But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another -
Remember that not one of us is without sin and we all answer to one MAKER.


And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and thank GOD you're alive and still around.

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a
Well. The animal cried piteously for hours as
The farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the
Well needed to be covered up anyway;

It just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and
Help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began
To shovel dirt into the well. At first, the
Donkey realized what was happening and cried
Horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he
Quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally
Looked down the well. He was astonished at what
He saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his
Back, the donkey was doing something amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel
Dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it
Off and take a step up.

Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey
Stepped up over the edge of the well and
Happily trotted off!

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds
Of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well
Is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of
Our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out
Of the deepest wells just by not stopping,
Never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.

Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.

Live simply and appreciate what you have.

Give more.

Expect less

NOW ...........

Enough of that crap . . The donkey later came back,

And bit the farmer who had tried to bury him.

The gash from the bite got infected and

The farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.

MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON:

When you do something wrong, and try to cover
Your ass, it always comes back to bite you.
