Thought for Today
Do not be disheartened remember that as long as there is life there is hope for a brighter and better tomorrow.
Perseverance
We must go on no matter what life throws our way. Giving up is not an option. Though the road may be rough and the going gets tough we must go on. Sometimes it may seem that we are fighting a losing battle but even then we must not give up the fight. We may fall but we must refuse to stay down. As long as there is breath left in our bodies we must persevere and fight on until the battle is won.
Putin’s America
For months now I have been trying to find an answer, anything that could explain why Putin would be so interested in seeing a Trump’s Presidency. Could it be that he wants to see America fall apart. America has always been the most admired place in the world, a place that hold hope for many and a place that many wish to go.
Now I am left wondering if this is what Putin wanted to see: An America divided, an America that no longer cares and is quickly alienating its neighbors, an America that is despised by the rest of the world. When did any country become great by causing division among its people. How can we become safer by creating more enemies.
If this is what Putin wanted he can rest assured that his plan his working. All he has to do is throw a few more compliments Trumps way sit back, relax and drink champagne and watch America fall apart.
An Inspiring Tale
The Baker and the Farmer
A baker in a little country town bought the butter he used from a nearby farmer. One day he suspected that the bricks of butter were not full pounds, and for several days he weighed them.He was right. They were short weight, and he had the farmer arrested. At the trial the judge said to the farmer, “I presume you have scales?”
“No, your honor.”
“Then how do you manage to weigh the butter you sell?” inquired the judge.
The farmer replied, “That’s easily explained, your honor. I have balances and for a weight I use a one-pound loaf I buy from the baker.”
Moral of the story – We must be fair when dealing with others in the same way we want them to deal fairly with us.
Life’s Lesson
Never be too quick to judge another person’s situation and never say “That could never happen to me.” The road of life has many twists and turns and sometimes the most unexpected things happen. No one is immune from life’s problems so show empathy for other because you just never know when you might need theirs.
Any Bad Habit You Want to Lose in 2017?
I don’t know how many of you have this habit but for me procrastination is one habit that I want to lose in 2017. I keep putting things off or wait until the last-minute to get it done. Does anyone else have this habit? If so here is what we are going to do about it in 2017.
Get a small note-book and each night before you go to bed make a list of the things you want to get done the next day. Make sure you set achievable and realistic goals. Look at your list during the course of the day just as a reminder because when you are getting old like me, we tend to forget things.
At the end of each day look over your list, tick off the things you have accomplished and give yourself a pat on the back for all you got done.If you didn’t do it all aim to get it done the next day. Let’s try and see if it works.

An Act of Kindness
Fables
Fables are often tales with life lessons that can guide us in our everyday life. As a young child I remember reading a lot of them. I am going to share one of my favorite one with you.
The Lion on the Mouse
A Lion lay asleep in the forest, his great head resting on his paws.
A timid little Mouse came upon him unexpectedly, and in her fright and haste to get away, ran across the Lion’s nose.
Roused from his nap, the Lion laid his huge paw angrily on the tiny creature to kill her.
“Spare me!” begged the poor Mouse. “Please let me go and some day I will surely repay you.”
The Lion was much amused to think that a Mouse could ever help him. But he was generous and finally let the Mouse go.
Some days later, while stalking his prey in the forest, the Lion was caught in the toils of a hunter’s net.
Unable to free himself, he filled the forest with his angry roaring. The Mouse knew the voice and quickly found the Lion struggling in the net.
Running to one of the great ropes that bound him, she gnawed it until it parted, and soon the Lion was free.
“You laughed when I said I would repay you,” said the Mouse. “Now you see that even a Mouse can help a Lion.”
The Moral Is: Never hesitate to help someone in need because the day may come when you may need help too.
