"10 Rules for a Good 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 a 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 a 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.
 
4. TODAY I WILL GO THE EXTRA MILE:
   I will find ways to help share the burden of another person.
 
5. TODAY I WILL FORGIVE:
   I will forgive any hurts or injuries that come my way.
 
6. TODAY I WILL DO SOMETHING NICE FOR SOMEONE,
   BUT I WILL NOT DO IT SECRETLY:
   I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of another. 
  
7. TODAY I WILL TREAT OTHERS THE WAY I WISH TO BE
   TREATED:
   I will practice the golden rule - "Do unto others as I would have
   them do unto me" - with everyone I encounter.

 

8. TODAY I WILL RAISE THE SPIRITS OF SOMEONE I
   DISCOURAGED:
   My smile, my words, my expression of support, can make the
   difference to someone who is wrestling life.
  
9. TODAY I WILL NUTURE MY BODY:
   I will eat less; I will eat only healthy foods. I will thank God for my
   body. 
  
10. TODAY I WILL GROW SPIRITUALLUY:
   I will spend a little more time in prayer today: I will begin reading
   something spiritual or inspirational today; I will find a quiet place
   (at some point during the day) and listen to God's voice!

 

 

"Top Ten Reasons to Speak" 

 

   
1. To acknowledge kindness, courage, worthy efforts and personal bests.

 

2. To offer help, assistance, encouragement; particularly to encourage  those
who have reached for the stars and just failed to reach them........this time!

 

3. To say 'I love you'...........in the way which is appropriate.

 

4. When the conscience or intuition prompts. How often have you been in a silent room
where there is something crying out to be said?

 

5. To share grief or anguish with a trusted friend.

 

6. To ask for help when doing so is difficult.

 

7. To encourage the development of creative workplaces which honor all associated: staff,
clients or customers and staff.

 

8. To acknowledge being wrong and to apologize. The more difficult the apology,
the greater the need to speak and the more we grow.

 

9. To help identify your personal 'group of ten.' These are those who unfailingly encourage and support you,
make you laugh and whose feelings you reciprocate. These are the people you love the most.

 

10. To spread joy.

 

Have a Blessed Weekend
