Good Morning Friends,

?

I hope this message finds you in good health and good spirits.??The weekend and New Years?are fast approaching, I hope your week has been a blessing and it has allowed you some time to reflect back on this year and realize how far you have managed to come in the last 12 months. Today's story?gives us many?reminders of why we should?be grateful?for the things we have. Remember those that have helped you, take time to Thank them, then find a way to pay it forward to someone who could use some help..

Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.

Think About This:

Should you find it hard to get to sleep tonight;?Just remember the homeless family who has no bed to lie in.

Should you find yourself stuck in traffic;?Don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work;?Think of the man who has been out of work for the last three months.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad;?Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend;?Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week, for 15.00 to feed her family.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance;?Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror;?Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking "What Is My Purpose";?Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities;?Remember, things could be worse. You could be them!!!

Thursday's Laugh........

?

?A lady is walking down the street to work and she sees a parrot in a pet store. The parrot says to her, "Hey lady, you are really ugly." Well, the lady is furious! And she storms past the store to her work. On the way home she saw the same parrot in the window and the parrot said to her, "Hey lady, you are really ugly." Well, she was incredibly ticked now. The next day see saw the same parrot and the parrot said to her, "Hey lady, you are really ugly." The lady was so ticked that she went into the store and said that she would sue the store and kill the bird. The store manager said, "That's not good." and promised he wouldn't say it again. When the lady walked past the store after work the parrot said to her, "Hey lady." She paused and said, "Yes?" and the bird said, "You know."
