CHAPTER 7, PAGE 6

Life isn't about keeping score.

It's not about how many friends you have

or how accepted you are.

It isn't about who your family is

or how much money they have

Or what kind of car you drive.

or where you went to school.

It's not about how beautiful or ugly you are,

or what clothes you wear, what shoes you have on,

or what kind of music you listen to.

It's not about if your hair is blonde, red, black, or brown,

or if your skin is too light or too dark.

Life just isn't those things.....

Life is about who you love and who you hurt.

It's about who you make happy or unhappy purposely.

It's about keeping or betraying trust.

It's about friendship, used as a sanctity or as a weapon.

It's about what you say and mean, maybe hurtful,

maybe heartening.

It's about starting rumors and contributing to petty gossip.

It's about what judgments you pass and why.

And who your judgments are spread to.

It's about who you've ignored with full control and intention.

It's about jealousy, fear, ignorance, and revenge.

It's about carrying inner hate and love,

letting it grow and spreading it.

But most of all, it's about using your life to touch

or poison other people's hearts in such a way that could have

never occurred alone.

You, and only you, choose the way those hearts are affected ...

AND THOSE CHOICES ARE WHAT LIFE'S ABOUT.

GOOD MORNING !

Yesterday turned out to be a beautiful day. In the low 70 degree temps and mostly sunny. You might know it would be as we all went back to work. As a matter of fact, it’s supposed to be sunny all week , but warmer.

Work was busy and I love it like that as the day goes much faster. I even got to go out at lunch time and made a stop at the grocery store and gas station. Gas ranged between 2.99 and 3.05 a gallon on Wednesday.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Where there is love

The heart is light,

Where there is love

The day is bright.

Helen Steiner Rice

May your day be blessed with a few smiles and lots of sunshine to warm your heart !

Thankfully it has cooled off here although still quite humid but at least the sun has disappeared and we can move around again without breaking into a sweat.
