Sometimes I am guilty of letting my environment and circumstances dictate what my attitude will be. I want to change that. I want to try and find the positive things in each day and in each situation. I have 2 sets of eyes watching me at all times and what is my attitude telling them? What kind of example am I being to them? Read this little poem that someone sent me a while back. It's a little comical, but very true.
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.
"YEA!" 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.......
Leave the rest to God

Wow, I'm married to a philosopher. Very rich words of wisdom you have shared ... and I love the story about the lady and the three hairs. Make me laugh each time, but so true. Enjoying our journey.
