First comes positivity. We should all be grateful for what we have. I love life and even though I'm not rich I have a lot more than the majority of the world. I have more telecommunication equipment, electronics, toys, etc. than most small villages in the world. I'm safe (for the most part) and don't have to worry about my house being burned down by an angry mob or despot army. I'm grateful for my relatively good health and the health of my family. My kid is eating doritos and watching Spongebob on our HDTV. This all sounds cheesy but I think about things like this when I read things like this.
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"
The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way."
What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it."
Both signs told people the boy was blind. While the first sign simply said the boy was blind, the second sign pointed the fortunate ones to their positive possibilities.
Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively. Invite the people towards good with wisdom.
Now on to marriage. Word up to all you happily married people! I wish mine would have
worked out. We didn't know each other long enough to get married, and suffice to say, her dad is a gunsmith. She's awesome and a great mom. I'm so grateful we did get married and all that has come of it. Anyway, is this what marriage is about?
A man and a woman who had never met before, but were both married to other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a Trans-continental train.
Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly.....
He in the upper bunk and she in the lower. At 1:00 AM, the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying, "Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold."
"I have a better idea," she replied. "Just for tonight, let's pretend that we're married."
"Wow! That's a great idea!" he exclaimed.
"Good," she replied. "Get your own blanket."
After a moment of silence, he farted.
The End
