Proven ways to get along better with everyone :

1. Before you say anything to anyone, ask yourself 3 things:

a. Is it true?
b. Is it kind?
c. Is it necessary?

2. Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully.

3. Never miss the opportunity to compliment or say something encouraging to someone.

4. Refuse to talk negatively about others; don't gossip and don't listen to gossip.

5. Have a forgiving view of people. Believe that most people are doing the best they can.

6. Keep an open mind; discuss, but don't argue. (It is possible to disagree without being disagreeable.)

7. Forget about counting to 10. Count to 1,000 before doing or saying anything that could make matters worse.

8. Let your virtues speak for themselves.

9. If someone criticizes you, see if there is any TRUTH to what he is saying; if so, make changes. If there is no truth to the criticism, ignore it and live so that no one will believe the negative remark.

10. Cultivate your sense of humor; laughter is the shortest distance between two people.

11. Do not seek so much to be consoled, as to console; do not seek so much to be understood, as to understand; do not seek so much to be loved as to love.

Don't cry because it's over; smile because it happened

Dedicated to all moms and dads facing the "Empty Nest"

When my kids call and ask 'What are you doing' the answer is usually - 'I'm on the computer.' My down time is never wasted. After I make several trips up and down the stairs with whatever chore is at hand, I plop down in my comfy chair and surf the net, read my e-mails and write in my journals.
