Thursdays Blessings

Good Morning Friends,

 

Thursday is here to greet you; I hope your week has been a good one thus far. Although it seemed like forever for winter to end I have noticed the past few weeks have flown right by. Mainly I guess because life and work have been so busy. With my realization of this I have decided to just take time and enjoy the weekend and the nice weather, without working around the house or worrying about all the things I would like to complete and spend some time just enjoying each moment. Take time to stop and just enjoy the many friends, family and blessings in your life; nothing is ever guaranteed, so enjoy all that is before and make the most of today.

 

“What you have to decide... is how you want your life to be. If your forever was ending tomorrow, would this be how you'd want to have spent it? Listen, the truth is, nothing is guaranteed. You know that more than anybody. So dont be afraid. Be alive.”

― Sarah Dessen    

 

 “We're so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take time to enjoy where we are.”

― Bill Watterson

 


 


 

Let Go of your Stresses

 

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: ”How heavy is this glass of water?”

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”

She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything.”

It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down!

 

 

Thursday's humor.......

 

Forgot Something?


A man calls his wife and says to her, "Honey, I just got the chance of a lifetime to go on a week-long fishing trip with my boss. Could you pack up my things so that they will be ready when I get home?"


"Sure, honey," his wife answers."Oh, and could you please pack my blue silk pyjamas?" "Sure, honey," his wife answers again. The man comes home, picks up his things and takes off for the week. He returns a week later, smiling. His wife greets him at the front door. "So honey, how was your fishing trip?"


"It was great..." the husband answers. "But you forgot to pack my blue silk pyjamas." "No I didn't," said his wife. "They were in your tacklebox."
