Picked up by a stranger

After the garbage truck had ran this morning I began the day driving around to do errands. I had to drive around a garbage can that was being tossed about by the wind and was resting in the middle of the road. A few minutes later I had to drive back down my road to get something I had forgotten. The can was still in the road. I retrieved what I needed and again had to drive around the can. Hours later on my way home I saw it was still in the road. I wandered had my garbage can ever been picked up by a stranger and put back in my yard and I never knew it.

Set them free

Don't keep people waiting. If the answer is no then tell them no. Saying we'll see or let me see what I can do only gives them false hope that they have a 50-50 chance at you helping them with what they need, when in fact you know they have no chance at all. A honest no is better than 100 fake maybes. They could move on if you send them on their way. Even if the answer is no it will set them free.

You see only what they want you to see

You can't tell what a persons life is really like by seeing what they choose to show you. You will never know what makes each person unique. If we give each other the freedom to be who they were meant to be, we would see a difference in society. Let creativity and uniqueness grow it just might be what someone else needs, you don't know.

A tank of gas

While waiting at a car repair shop I heard a four year old little boy ask his mom if they were still going to make it to Grandmas house for Christmas.She tried to explain to him that if the car repair cost too much they might not have money for the gas. As the repair man returned to inform her the repairs would be more than expected, the boy replied " mister if we pay for the repairs will you fill up our gas tank with your money so we can go to Grandma's?" As they were leaving he handed them a gas card signed love from Grandma.

Flush it right away

Save your energy for something important don't waste it getting angry. That will only waste your day. It does far less damage when it happens only once and you quickly flush it out of your mind. If you don't let it out and you think of it 100 times then that one little thing is now 100 times bigger and you will clog yourself up. "JUST FLUSH IT" when it comes the FIRST time and forget it.

Temporarily or Permanent?

When all else fails don't fail yourself. I know times are tough but a temporary fix for your problems now if you don't stick to your standards will be a permanent stamp on your character forever. We are not always remembered for what we do in easy times but we are judged by what we do when times are tough. It can either be a time for you to shine or a time where you let yourself down and cause permanent damage from a temporary situation you were in.

The meaning of Christmas

Christmas should be full of love, peace, and joy. Where's the joy in spending money you don't have on gifts they just don't need? I don't feel at peace when I know what it cost. I don't even feel the love in the air at the stores where I shop. Let's start a new tradition at Christmas time where being together is what's most important. Where laughter fills the air bringing us a peaceful joy where love can be felt everywhere.

Keep them warm all season

Some gifts are good to give early. Surprise someone in November when the chill of winter is in the air. Whenever my child is given warm clothes for Christmas I give it to them the minute I get them. I don't wait until Christmas because warm clothes can be enjoyed all winter. That is a gift that brings their parents a smile every time they bundle up to go outside. Try bringing the Christmas joy a little early and warm their hearts and body to keep them healthy and happy all season.

The gift of oxygen

Not all presents can be wrapped. Your favorite gift that you are most thankful for might not have even cost them a dime. The gift of love with a show of kindness may be the gift that keeps on giving. You can give it away for free and your priceless gift could ease their stress just enough for them to catch their breath. Give them the gift of oxygen.

Help lower their bills

Some people won't ask for help or even accept a helping hand. Now those are the ones that will appreciate it the most. Go to their electric company or local cable office and simply give their name and address and pay on their bill. You don't have to pay all of it, pay whatever you want. When they get their next bill and they don't owe as much as usual it will make a difference that they will appreciate.

Only time will tell

You may not know if you made the right choice today or where it will lead you. Sometimes good things come to those that wait but waiting for something good to happen when you choose to do nothing is time wasted. Nothing from nothing is nothing. You got to do something before something good can happen. If you know it is time for a change then does it really matter what time it is?

Ask and you shall recieve

If you don't ask how will anyone know what you need? Even the most obvious things can't be seen. They may know you very well but still not know what you need. If you don't say something then they assume you have it all worked out or you would ask. If they don't know then don't be angry at them for not giving you an answer to a question you never asked. If you ask and they don't respond then their answer is clear. Ask and you shall recieve an answer.

Make them giggle

I listened as the man in front of me was yelling at the store clerk. He was ranting and raving about how every time he came in the store he had to endure such service from their employees. I watched the cashier cringe with each angry remark that was being spewed out to him, as he smiled. When the man had left as I unloaded my overflowing cart, I reminded the cashier how lucky he was that the man only purchased one item and was out quickly. This made him giggle and helped him to Just Flush the man's comments away.
