Proper Attitudes
|
You do not have to buy the cow to get a glass of milk.
If you do not want to get bitten do not pull the dogs tail.
Don't hold on to dynamite after it's lit. Walk away from quarrels, fights, or squabbles when tempers are touchy. Go wrestle a fireplug. Don't argue. Discuss.
Love thy neighbor as thy old slippers. Be casual and comfortable with people. Accept them as they are. Enjoy others.
Success is an
Attitude!

Sunny Side
of Life | There was one person that loved canoeing but every time he bent over to pick up his paddle, he'd get an awful crick in his back. It hurt something fierce so he went to see the doctor.
The doctor checked his back and could find nothing wrong, but he gave him some advice. He said that if it happens again, instead of just picking up the paddle he should grab it with both hands, stick the end of it in the ground, and slowly pull himself up hand over hand to the top of the paddle.
Well, on the next canoe trip, the person reached for his paddle and Wham! that crick in his back started hurting again. Following the doctor's advice he stuck the paddle in the ground and, hand over hand, worked his way up the paddle.
When he was finally standing up his back didn't hurt and he was very pleased to find himself Up a Paddle without a Crick. |

From the desk of Bob:
When the pressures of life beat upon me from all directions I tell myself that this too shall pass. I live in the moment. I live in the day. I will not let the stresses of life tear me apart. Lately, I have to remind myself to see the good in things, normally I do that naturally. I gotta believe that the things in life that are hard will make me stronger, better, and healthier. I must believe this today.
Bob

SEEDS of SUCCESS by Bob Prentice

Find Your Funny Bone
Laugh at yourself and the negative situations in life. We sometimes take things in life way to serious. Find your funny bone.
Yes, we all have a funny bone. It is connected to your, well your, well I just know it is connected. They say laughter is a good medicine. I love to laugh. When the pressures are starting to get to me I make a serious effort to find something funny to make me laugh. I need to laugh.
Watch a funny movie, read some good clean jokes, recall something funny from your life that happened to you. These are just a few of the things that we can do to get a chuckle. Talk to a friend who makes you laugh. Get around children as soon as possible they will always be saying something funny.
Whenever I know that I know that I need a good laugh to take the pressures off one of my favorite things to do is sing songs with my grandchildren. Not that I can sing, but when they come over they have their favorite songs on the computer and we all sing them together. There singing kind of drowns me out. The Simple Life and the Lion Sleeps Tonight are a couple of their favorites. When Alexis sings and she gets into her real deep voice and purses her lips and begins singing the lower notes it just knocks me over. I cannot help but laugh. It restores my joy and lightens my load. It is absolutely amazing how this simple act of hanging out and singing with my grand kids can change my attitude.
Keep looking for your funny bone, you will find it I promise. Look under the sofa. Maybe it is there. Look under your bed maybe you left it there.
Or how about up in the kitchen cupboards? Just keep looking!
"The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter." Mark Twain
