We are truly blessed by the many good people we meet along the way. I was surprised to hear from some people who worked for me years ago that they are actively looking for work for me and it appears I have not one but 3 offers coming in under 3 weeks! That expression of being kind to those you meet on the way up is so true...you meet the same people on the way down.  As it turns out, being honest, loyal and forgiving still counts for something in this world.

Sure we all have cause and good reason to be bitter but being so only puts a tax on our own health. So be kind to yourself and allow yourself to be happy. It takes work. Yes, at first you force yourself to a plastic smile but it is infectious to and will bring on a better day.

Thankfulness feels so much better than greed. Empathy feels so much better than envy and Charity feels so much better than anger.
