Summer Thoughts

"I love to return to a summer place where nothing ever changes, except that the walk to the jetty used to be shorter and the shadows on the sand slimmer."

"The great thing about a positive attitude is that it creates its own ambience. It is its own scenic overlook, its own flowering meadow, its own walk on the beach."

"You cannot return to a time, but you can return to a place where you were once young and hopeful and recapture a frame of mind."

"The summer wind came blowin' in from across the sea

It lingered there to touch your hair and walk with me

All summer long, we sang a song

And then we strolled that golden sand…"

Getting To Know You

"Things happen to enhance your understanding of people; for example, seeing a boastful person reduced to tears by a word of genuine appreciation."

Hint for Job Seekers

We learn from our mistakes, so be sure to include "Mistakes I Have Learned From" on your job resume.  Best case, you'll get the job.  Worst case, you'll learn from another mistake.

Four Thoughts

 "Winning is everything."  -- a phrase used to describe an activity, such as a football game, which has no other discernible purpose.

"You cannot humiliate a humble person. any more than you can make a boastful person proud."

  "If some remedy doesn't work, try less of it before you try more of it." 

"If drug research holds true to form, there will some day be a completely ineffective weight loss drug that, as a side effect, cures cancer."

A Friend In Need

"It is important to be your own friend, especially on days when you wouldn't care to make your own acquaintance."

Just A Thought

"It is easier to ask forgiveness of God than of the person one offends, so it is quite possible that the apology you never got was directed to God and has not yet been forwarded."

It's A Good Day...

"It's a good day when, having nothing to say, you kept it short."

"It's a good day when no one you encountered had to waste a single moment trying to appease you."

"It's a good day when you learned something from life rather than tried to teach it something."

"It's a good day when you didn't say something negative about yourself just to be the one to say it first."
