Message Of the Day

I received an email today from one of my nieces in Australia, and it contains a lovely, uplifting message that I would like to share.

Remember this: every minute that you spend being angry, upset or sad, is a minute of happiness you will never get back.  Life is short.  Break the rules now and then.  Forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably.  Enthusiasm is contagious.  Practice being excited and soon you will be.  Count your blessings - they are the savings account of your emotional bank and someday you can draw on them.

Remember this, too: Unspoken gratitude isn't much use to anyone.  There is power in saying, "Thank you."  There is power also in being nice.  Being nice and expressing gratitude generates a positive energy that has far-reaching effects.

As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded."

I wish for us all to succeed today!
