Thought for Your WEEK
Showing Common Sense
By Catherine Pulsifer, © 2011
 
I have been in situations where someone who is more educated, or who is in a more senior position, made a decision I disagreed with. My common sense told me that it was the wrong decision. But, I thought they must know what they were doing because they were more educated, and in a more senior position. So I didn't say or suggest anything.  But once the decision was made, . . .

Your Bucket List
By Julie Hebert, © 2011
 
A bucket list,
We all should record.
To give us goals,
To work towards.
 
Make a list,
From one to twenty.
You can have more,
If you want to have plenty.
 
You're bucket list,
Will hold your dreams.
That one day,
Won't be a dream.
 
Setting goals
Is good to do,
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 . . . .

WOW 4U Motivation for Your Week October 31, 2011
 
 
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.
