Why despair when you despair you think nothing can be done. a friend sent me this just this morning.

Attitude


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.
'YAY!' she exclaimed. 'I don't have to fix my hair today!'


Attitude is everything.

Be kinder than necessary,
for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly,
and pray continually.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...

It's about learning to dance in the rain.


It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.   

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
Love the people who treat you right and pray for the ones that don't.


( and for those who dont do praying my mum's answer to someone in church who kept talking about praying for people and did nothing. "every time I bake a loaf or cakes and give it to someone, every time i make extra soup or stew so I can give some to someone and every time I whish something good for someone and do what I can tae mak it happen that is my prayer.")
