This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror
where one could read it every day.
You may not realize it, but it’s 100% true.
…
1. There are at least two people in this world
that you would die for.
2. At least 15 people in this world
love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you
is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone,
even if they don’t like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you
before they go to sleep. Read More

Layers Of Feeling
Coping With Passive Aggression
Many people are taught from a young age to suppress feelings commonly regarded as negative, such as anger, resentment, fear, and sorrow. Those who cannot or will not express these emotions tend to engage in passive-aggressive behaviors that provide them with a means of redirecting their feelings. Passive aggression can take many forms: People who feel guilty saying “no” may continually break their promises because they couldn’t say no when they meant it. Others will substitute snide praise for a slur to distance themselves from the intense emotions they feel. More often than not, such behavior is a cry for help uttered by those in need of compassion and gentle guidance.

Keep a note pad and pencil on your bed-side table. Million-dollar
ideas sometimes strike at 3 a.m.
Remember that 80 per cent of the success in any job is based on your
ability to deal with people.
Have a firm handshake.
Look people in the eye.
Sing in the shower.
If in a fight, hit first and hit hard.
Keep secrets.
Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen everyday.
Always accept an outstretched hand.
Be brave. Even if you’re not, pretend to be. No one can tell the
difference.
Make it a habit to do nice things for people who will never find out.
Lend only those books you never care to see again.
Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all that they have.
Give people a second chance, but not a third.
Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.
Loosen up. Relax. Except for rare life-and-death matters, nothing is
as important as it first seems.
Don’t allow the phone to interrupt important moments. It’s there for
your convenience, not the caller’s.
Be a good loser.
Be a good winner.
Think twice before burdening a friend with a secret.
When someone hugs you, let them be the first to let go.
Be modest. A lot was accomplished before you were born.
Keep it simple.
Beware of the person who has nothing to lose.
Don’t burn bridges. You’ll be surprised how many times you have to cross

I have known Alexandra almost her whole life. She came to my daycare at the delicate age of three months and stayed until she went off to kindergarten, which was this past year.
Binnie, as her mom so affectionately nicknamed her, was like the Energizer Bunny. She never stopped moving, never sat still or slowed down. No matter what was going on, at any given time, she was always a step or two ahead of the other children.
She has the sweet, outgoing personality of her mom and a heart of gold, giving attitude like her dad. I know that her character is partly the result of her parent’s wholesome, faith based qualities but there is also a genuine sense of perception that is all Binnie.
In all of her five years she has shown a unique sense of caring for others that truly surpasses her age.
She has brought much joy to my days. Knowing my absolute love for Coke Slurpees, this tiny tot would sometimes insist that her mom stop to get me one before work. Many a morning Heather would find herself in the middle of the breakfast rush at Burger King to get a frozen coke for me. Binnie’s sole goal was to surprise me — and surprise me she did with her thoughtfulness.
For whatever reason Binnie hated when I’d refer to myself as an old lady. Usually I’d save this remark and dramatize the effect as I’d try to cajole the kids into helping to pick up the toys. Whether Binnie saw right through the charade or saw me as just a big kid, I’ll never know.
I’d like to treasure the memory as a compliment that she she saw past the gray hairs to really appreciate the ‘kid’ in me.
