Thankful Thursday

Good Morning Friends,
Welcome to Thursday. What are you thankful for today? I ask the question, because I hear many people just complain, sometimes myself included. We must remember the many Blessings we have in our lives and remind ourselves daily of those blessings. M usual response to those asking how my day is Excellent, I have no complaints, to which the response is; Nobody would listen anyway. My response back is that I believe if you have time to complain, then you have the time to fix those complaints rather than just complaining. Most everyone understands that and agrees. We've become a society to quick to voice our complaints rather than fixing them. Food for thought, as always the choices are yours for the making. Make today a Thankful Thursday!

Tech Support
One of my friends works in the customer service call center of a national pager company. There, he deals with the usual complaints regarding poor pager operation, as well as the occasional crank caller
demanding to be paged less often, more often, or by more interesting people.
The best call came from Bubba, who repeatedly complained that he keeps
being paged by "Lucille."
He was instructed that he would have to call her and tell her to stop paging him.
"She don't never leave no number, so I can't call her back," he said.
After three such calls, someone thought to ask how he knew it was Lucille if she didn't leave a number.
"She leaves her name," was the reply.
After establishing that the customer had a numeric-only pager, the light bulb came on.
"How does she spell her name?" the service rep asked.
"L-O-W C-E-L-L"
