WANTED: MORE TIME

Life has been a whirlwind of activity lately.

The most prominant item occuring since I've written last is my first-born turned 12 yesterday. TWELVE.

How in the world did that happen?

Kim said, "We aren't old enough for Ben to be 12!"

No kidding.

Heck, we aren't 'old enough' for some of the stuff going on in our lives, yet it still happens.

Planning on carving some time out either in the next few days or this weekend to write. I miss it. I need it.

In the meantime:

Promise Yourself

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can
disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to
every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel like there is
something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your
optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best,
and expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on the
greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give
every living person you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, and too
strong for fear, and to happy to permit the
presence of trouble.
