When the ice-maker on our refrigerator
broke, my husband dropped by the local hardware to find the part. Because
the sun was so bright that day and the interior of the store was dark, his
eyes hadn't quite adjusted when he walked in. He accidentally stepped on
the foot
of a woman examining some samples. She screamed, causing my husband to
jump sideways into a display of fireplace tools that went crashing in
every direction. Unnerved, he stumbled over to the service desk, and as he
put his hands on the counter, he flipped over a bowl of marbles,
scattering them everywhere.
After taking a deep breath to calm himself, he announced to the wide-eyed
woman working there, "My refrigerator doesn't work."
She replied, simply, "I don't doubt it."
Ever have those days? When you do you might just as well let them happen.
Those are the days when you relax, take it easy, make no plans to
accomplish anything. It seems strange but every once in a long while those
kinds of days do strike. That's when you just have to laugh at yourself
and have fun with it.
Yet it brings to our attention the law "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." or
"The chickens you send out are the chickens that come home again." or
"What goes around, comes around."
Every time we perform an action we are telling the world who and what we
are. Those who observe, form judgments. So it behooves us to consider our
actions before we take them. When we keep the "law" in mind we can act in
ways that will bring to us the life we want.
It is good to know these laws.
Still, we will all be a clutz once in a while and laughter takes away the
sting.
I once had a man tell me that our chief responsibility was to be happy. He
knew that when one is happy he/she is spreading good tidings. That enacts
the law in your favor and life can be good.
One more thing associated with this topic is the observation of Ralph
Waldo Emerson; "Your actions speak so loudly that what you say to the
contrary I cannot hear." Consider that. Watch others and watch what they
do as compared to what they say. Watch yourself and keep away
from that trap. Do as you say. In other words BE the person you SAY you
are.
Life gets better when you understand that ...
For Every Action ...

JOKE
Potty training in the computer age ...

Big brother: Throw the toilet paper in the toilet.
Little brother: Like this?
Big brother: Yeah.
Little brother: Now what?
Big brother: Hit "ENTER."
Little brother: "ENTER"?
Big brother: I mean "flush."
SAYING
Love binds. Hatred separates. If you run your life to achieve the greatest
of which you are capable, then what motivation will produce the best
results?
