I want to start my day by sharing the following "food for thought" with you all: <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TEN RULES FOR A BLESSED DAY

1. Today I will not strike back:
If someone is rude; if someone is impatient; if someone is unkind… I will not respond in like manner.

2. Today I will ask God to bless my “enemy”:
If I come across someone who treats me harshly or unfairly, I will quietly ask God to bless that individual. I understand the “enemy” could be a family member, neighbor, co-worker or stranger.

3. Today I will be careful about what I say:
I will carefully choose and guard my words, being certain that I do not spread gossip, slander or malign anyone in any way.

4. Today I will go the extra mile
I will find ways to help share the burden of another person. I will find ways to make life more pleasant.

5. Today I will forgive:
I will forgive any hurts or injuries that come my way. (I will also work to forgive injuries that have been inflicted upon me in the past.)

6. Today I will do something nice for someone, but I will do it secretly:
I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of another person.

7. Today I will treat others as I wish to be treated:
I will practice the golden rule – do unto others as you would have them do unto you – with everyone I encounter.

8. Today I will raise the spirits of someone who is discouraged:
My smile, my words, my expression of support, can make the difference to someone who is wrestling with life.

9. Today I will nurture my body
I will eat less; I will eat only healthy foods. I will thank God for my body.

10. Today I will grow spiritually
I will spend a little more time in prayer today; I will begin reading something spiritual or inspiring today; I will find a quiet place (at some point during this day) and listen to God’s voice!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have a blessed day everyone! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

Good morning Suzet,

See you are here again this morning.

Glad you bumped it. It helps me to see it again, too.
