THOUGHTS

Just thinking:

1. Be careful how you treat and speak to people.

2. Sometimes it IS them. Sometimes, it's you.

3. "No" is a time saver.

4. When you know people are just trying to get over, call them on it. No sense dragging that madness out.

5. Examine your motives, that way, when the appreciation doesn't come, you'll be cool with it, and continue your pattern of faithfulness and efficiency.

6. Never assume someone is a punk. There's nothing funnier than seeing a bully back waaaaaay down.

7. People who are forever looking over their shoulders to see if you're in the race or on the sidelines, are not enjoying their run AT ALL.

8. A new attitude doesn't take long to form.

9. The truth hurts those who lie, are in denial, and are shocked that you are well acquainted with it.

10. Don't ever shrink to appease an insecure person.

11. Pity parties abruptly end when people stop attending.

12. No one feels sorry for someone who has countless reasons to be grateful, refuses to acknowledge them, but chooses to be sour and grumble, instead.

13. Nurture the things that give you life. Never abandon what you love.

14. This morning there was snow on the ground and trees. This afternoon, the Sun was shining. Things can change in an instant. Don't fret. 

15. A person whose bite is gone might want to lose their bark. It's pitiful and not the least bit frightening.

16. A miserable person only appears to have power. Don't surrender yours. Stay alert.

17. Kindness is everywhere, in spite of the news. Be grateful for it. 

18. Rediscovering old music will make you happy, and remind you how powerful your memory is.

19. Just because someone is frustrated and angry, you don't have to be. Pick your battles. Put down those crosses.

20. God hasn't run out of blessings or gifts, and he's really great at the personalized ones.
