A bucket list,
We all should record.

To work towards.

From one to twenty.

If you want to have plenty.

To make your dreams
Come true for you.

STORY for Your WEEK
What Does It Take?
by Byron Pulsifer, (c) 2011
 
We all could say that we have bad days to endure as we go through life, but what does it take to have a really good day?
 
Some would suggest that a day would be great if everything they did turned out well, or they got exactly what they needed. On the other hand, have you ever thought that what you may give someone else may be the best day you ever had especially when you put someone else's well-being or happiness first on your list?
 
There is special warmth available to you and that warmth can come from a helping hand, doing a small favour for a total stranger, or even a smile.
 
I recall a day recently that I had to attend the hospital for . . . .

QUOTE of the WEEK:
"Do a deed of simple kindness; though its end you may not see, it may reach, like widening ripples, down a long eternity."
Joseph Norris
 
 
POEM for Your WEEK
Poet:  James W. Foley
 
Drop a pebble in the water: just a splash, and it is gone;
But there's half-a-hundred ripples circling on and on and on,
Spreading, spreading from the center, flowing on out to the sea.
And there is no way of telling where the end is going to be.
 
Drop a pebble in the water: in a minute you forget,
But there's little waves a-flowing, and there's ripples circling yet,
And those little waves a-flowing to a great big wave have grown;
You've disturbed a mighty river just by dropping in a stone.
 
Drop an unkind word, or careless: in a minute it is gone;
But there's half-a-hundred ripples circling on and on and on.
They keep spreading, spreading, spreading from the center as they go,
And there is no way to stop them, once you've started them to flow.
 
Drop an unkind word, or careless: in a minute you forget;
But there's little waves a-flowing, and there's ripples circling yet,
And perhaps in some sad heart a mighty wave of tears you've stirred,
And disturbed a life was happy ere you dropped that unkind word.
 
Drop a word of cheer and kindness: just a flash and it is gone;
But there's half-a-hundred ripples circling on and on and on,
Bearing hope and joy and comfort on each splashing, dashing wave
Till you wouldn't believe the volume of the one kind word you gave.
 
Drop a word of cheer and kindness: in a minute you forget;
But there's gladness still a-swelling, and there's joy a-circling yet,
And you've rolled a wave of comfort whose sweet music can be heard
Over miles and miles of water just by dropping one kind word.

THOUGHT for Your WEEK
Change Yourself
By Catherine Pulsifer
 
Repeatedly, we attempt the impossible and try to change other people — but attempting this is a waste of time!
 
Think of a time when you tried to change a personal habit. As we have absolute control over how we think, you would assume changing a habit is easy. It is not.
 
Stop and consider how difficult it is for us to try and change other people when we have no control over their thoughts. You cannot change other people, you can only change yourself. If you want them to change, then you must change.
 
Whether it is the behaviour of a child, a boss, a co-worker, a friend, or a spouse you are the one who must change. You can change the way you express your feelings towards the behaviour. Or, you can change your reaction to the behaviour. In some cases, you may have to change by accepting the behaviour.
 
The point is, you have control over you and that is the only person you can change.

"Change your thoughts and you will change the world."

The mind has exactly the same power as the hands; not merely to grasp the world, but to change it."
Colin Wilson
 
"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude."
Maya Angelou
 
"How can you change your attitude? When dealing with a situation try and find the good in it."
Catherine Pulsifer
 
"The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude."
William James
 
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
Reinhold Niebuhr
 
"If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living."
Gail Sheehy
 
"If you want things to be different, perhaps the answer is to become different yourself."
Norman Vincent Peale
 
"The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning."

Thankful
By A. R. Gronos
 
I'm thankful for all good with which
I've been blessed throughout life.
For hardships, and for heartaches, too,
For failures, trials and strife.
I'm thankful for each little prayer
Someone has said for me;
For loving thoughts, for friendliness,
For all good will I see.
