I love that story and told it to a friend the other day who "thought" she was hard done by. "the purpose of life , after all,is to live it, to taste experience to the upmost,to reach out eagerly and with out fear for newer and richer experiences." - Eleanor Roosevelt These are the words I wrote on my son's 21st card recently.I thought they were so apt for the youth of Today. Enjoy your day Warmest regards Jenny

Hi Matt,

Yes we can be conditioned to be unhappy.  I'm so glad my riding mower is broke down.  My neighbor was so kind to come and mow half of my yard.  Wow, I now have a new friend in him.  I never knew he was so gracious.

Oh yes, and my mint is over growing one of my flower gardens but that is ok as it attracted a yellow finch which I enjoyed watching for quite a while as he ate off the mint flowers.

Thanks for stopping in

Hi Mary,

An old story and a good one.  And your recommendation to be extra nice to people is a good one - you dont know what they might be going through.


And it's all true -  even a small thing like this.  After three days of whinging about not having broad band, I've realised that now I can understand what people here go through on dial up, and appreciate how much effort they put into contributing to forums here at Adland.

Saludos

What a cute story and what a wonderful attitude.......one we should all learn to have!

Hi Mary,

  Very profound thoughts, in very simple terms, my favorite way to get a point across.

 Thank you, my friend for sharing this with all of us.

Your Good Friend
