Some Wednesday Wit

Good morning everybody! The last day of the month and time for a little laughter hopefully.

A little laughter can set the tone for the day. I also have a funny video with a message at the end of staying positive and making the most out of your moments.

If you have a joke to share please do, last week Ruth shared one and I hope if you have a good joke or one liner you will too.

Some Wednesday Wit starts here.

Julie, a teenager, had been talking on the phone for almost ½ an hour and then she hung up.

'Wow!' responded her father, 'That was short, you usually talk for 2 hours or more. What happened?'

'Oh,' smiled Julie, 'It was a wrong number.'

A couple of Natural Laws

"The Law of Volunteering"
If you dance with a grizzly bear, you had better let him lead.

and

"The Law of Self Sacrifice"
When you starve with a tiger, the tiger starves last.

The basketball coach stormed into the university president's office and demanded a raise right then and there. "Please," protested the college president, "you already make more than the entire History department."


"Yeah, maybe so, but you don't know what I have to put up with," the coach blustered. "Look." He went out into the hall and grabbed a jock who was jogging down the hallway. "Run over to my office and see if I'm there," he ordered. Twenty minutes later the jock returned, sweaty and out of breath. "You're not there, sir," he reported.

"See what I mean?" the coach said, scratching his head. "He could have phoned!"

Giving Thanks on Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! A day which I hope all take time to share with yourself what your grateful for in your life.

Gratitude is one of the keys to happiness. If you can be thankful for things in your life, and be thankful for things yet to come what a great way to start a morning!

A quote from Cicero:

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues,

but the parent of all the others.

Also a very mindful thought by JOHANNES A. GAERTNER:

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.

A smile with out much doubt has a strong social meaning of happiness. When shared it is contagious and enlightening to all that receive it. If not at that very moment it can set the tone for a pleasant moment just as a hurtful or angered word can trigger bad emotions.

A smile shared is perhaps the easiest gift of all. It can lighten someones load or change someones state even if for a second or two.

When you reach out and try to make a difference in another that is perhaps a most noble deed.

The purpose of life is not to be happy - but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you have lived at all. ~Leo Rosten

So today, make a difference in someones day. Reach out with a smile, a kind word, or give thanks to them for being in your life.

Tackle the pensive moment in someones day with a smile. Watch the stress or sadness melt away, like butter on a hot english muffin. Savor the moment, and be thankful that you had the opportunity and took time to make a difference.

Is it always that easy to change someones state? No.

For some it may take more, lend an ear, show concern, openly offer a prayer.

However in the end your greatest accomplishment is not what you said, but that you took the time to say it.

Till next time..... Smile!

Monday Morning Wisdom

Good Morning everyone and here is hoping everyone has a happy Monday!


Yes in Pittsburgh many are in anger and disbelief that our Pittsburgh Steelers lost yesterday but folks, it is only week 3 we have a lot of football to go.


Second point it is only a game and does not really effect you and your dream.


You do have a dream don't you? Something your working towards, something you want to achieve? Everyone needs to have one or two of these.


Never Give Up On Your Dreams


That is the first thing, no matter how far off they seem, no matter how hard the climb never give up or give in. Your dreams and goals are just that and you should have a clear picture of what you want these dreams to look like after achieved.


Break down your dream onto a picture board, hang it somewhere, create a journal detailed instructions as to what mini tasks and goals that will take you towards your dream or goal.


Never give up, no matter what is in your way, no matter what hardships fall upon your road. If you have breath in your body and thoughts in your head and a desire in the heart you can achieve just about anything.


Does the road seem hard? Yes Does the mountain seem to high? Yes it can. But the longest journey starts with one step. You, yes thats right you can achieve your dreams.


Never give up. Never give in.


Yes sometimes the people closest will tell you that your dream is not achievable. They will give you many reasons as to why you can't do this.


But never give up.


Yes sometimes the journey seems long and you feel like you will never cross that finish line of success. But as we know life is a process, and a process and plan put into motion will have failures, they will produce results those actions that we take, however look close at those results and modify your plan.


Never Give up!


The many steps we take each day and week are directed by our thoughts. Who we are is controlled by us and our desire. Don't let your desire tire.


Each morning we should be grateful for what we have already achieved in life. Prayerful for what has been given to us. Happy that we have another day to believe and achieve our dream.


Never Give up, Never Give in.


Monday's I know can always be the toughest day of the week. But it really is just another day. Focus on your dream, focus on what is good in your life and share that smile of yours.


Make that difference in someone else's life. Watch how they react when you share that smile, or kind word. You have magic on today, the gift of a simple smile can be magic.


Yes, don't forget to smile at yourself in that mirror today. That can be magic as well.


A quick video and then off to my day.....









I hope this hits home today! If only one needed this what a success this could be!


Till next time... Smile, share that smile and watch the magic appear!

Some Thoughts on a Sunday

Good Morning everyone and I hope you all have a great Sunday! Whether it is time with family and friends or a drive to someplace special or just a drive out for ice cream. Enjoy this day and share your smile with the world!

Today and everyday I find the power of prayer more important each passing minute. I talk with friends and hear their challenges that befall them. A sick family member, a pet that is ill or bills that always seem to go unpaid. I pray for these folks when I know who they are. I try to console them. I only hope my words are helpful in some way and I always try to encourage them with a smile. Do I know if this helps? No but I try anyway. I know the prayers will help, that much I do realize.

Often we go about our day with challenges and concerns front and center. The things that should be front and center are the blessings that have been bestowed on us. Our family, our health, our natural talents that we sometimes forget. Gratefulness should be pushing against the front of our mind. Our thankfulness should be always ahead of our challenges and problems.

No we can not ignore our problems but we should prioritize them behind our prayers and thanks to what is good in our life.
Is this easy? No. Is it possible? Yes.

Life will produce challenges, some you feel like you have won others you feel you have lost.

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.
~ Arnold Schwarzenegger quote

When life challenges you don't you quit. Never give in or give up.

Last night I downloaded the new Pearl Jam album on itunes. One song stuck out for today and I would like to share the video with lyrics. The song is The Fixer and yes you are the fixer.

I hope you enjoy it. I hope you never quit, life's victories are for those who fight.
Fight to get what you feel you lost. Fight to get it back again!

Enjoy! and till next time.... Smile!
