Good Morning Friends

 

I hope this inspiration finds you well rested, in good health and ready to begin the day with a smile. We have many opportunities to make a difference in the lives of the of the we encounter each day; what can you do to make a difference today? Whether it be with an open ear, a smile, words of kindness or letting someone go ahead of you in line at the store. By doing a random act of kindness for someone whether you know them or not can put a smile on your face and in your heart.

 

Edgar A. Guest

You are the person who has to decide. Whether you'll do it or toss it aside; you are the person who makes up your mind. Whether you'll lead or will linger behind. Whether you'll try for the goal that's afar. Or just be contented to stay where you are.

 

Angels Unaware

It was a rainy night in New Orleans

At a bus station in the town,

I watched a young girl weeping

As her baggage was taken down.

It seems she'd lost her ticket

Changing buses in the night.

She begged them not to leave her there

With no sign of help in sight.

The bus driver had a face of stone

And his heart was surely the same.

"Losing your ticket's like losing cash money" he said,

And left her in the rain.

Then an old Indian man stood up

And blocked the driver's way

And would not let him pass before

He said what he had to say.

"How can you leave that girl out there?

Have you no God to fear?

You know she had a ticket.

You can't just leave her here.

You can't put her out in a city

Where she doesn't have a friend.

You will meet your schedule,

But she might meet her end."

The driver showed no sign

That he'd heard or even cared

About the young girl's problem

Or how her travels fared.

So the old gentleman said,

"For her fare I'll pay.

I'll give her a little money

To help her on her way."

He went and bought the ticket

And helped her to her place

And helped her put her baggage

In the overhead luggage space.

"How can I repay," she said,

"the kindness you've shown tonight?

We're strangers who won't meet again

A mere ' 'thank you ' doesn't seem right."

He said, "What goes around comes around.

This I've learned with time -

What you give, you always get back;

What you sow, you reap in kind.

Always be helpful to others

And give what you can spare;

For by being kind to strangers,

We help angels unaware."

Tuesdays humor, something to make you smile.......

 

Label Instructions 

In case you need further proof that the human race is doomed because of stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

On a Myer hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. (darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).

On a bag of Chips: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?)

On a bar of Palmolive soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how???....)

On some frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion).

On Nanna's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down." (well...duh, a bit late, huh)!

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating."(...and you thought????...)

On packaging for a K-Mart iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me more time?)

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine:"Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (and...I'm taking this because???....)
