Get Motivated

True success comes from staying positive and focused, day after day, month after month. Yet that's a real challenge in today's noisy, complicated, fast-paced world.

Sometimes we forget the really important things in life

Saying Grace In A Restaurant


Last week, I took my children to a restaurant. My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace.

As we bowed our heads he said, "God is good, God is great. Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more if Mom gets u s ice cream for dessert. And Liberty and justice for all! Amen!"

Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never!"

Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it wrong? Is God mad at me?"

As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job, and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table.
He winked at my son and said, "I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."
"Really?" my son asked.
"Cross my heart," the man replied.
Then, in a theatrical whisper, he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), "Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."

Naturally, I bought my kids ice cream at the end of the meal. My son stared at his for a moment, and then did something I will remember the rest of my life.
He picked up his sundae and, without a word, walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big smile he told her, "Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes; and my soul is good already."

Swine Flu Protection (H1N1)

We are getting all types of warning about the flu thing going on. They are telling us that pharmacies have already run out of masks, and that masks are an almost guaranteed protection against the flu. So they are showing us how to make homemade masks.

Here are 2 versions you might want to consider.

When you deplete the conventional face masks.

SWINE FLU a.k.a. H1N1 VIRUS

Meedan Event

Egypt to kill all pigs, will that protect it from swine flu?

The Egyptian authorities announced that they will slaughter all pigs in Egypt as a swine flu precaution, a move considered ineffective by many experts.

The virus can be transmitted from one person to the other now, and pigs are no longer the source of danger. That was the point that many health officials cited to criticize the decision.

Some Egyptian bloggers considered the move a governmental crackdown on the Copts, a Christian minority in Egypt, the main breeders of pigs in Egypt.

Laugh

I was at my bank today. There was a short line, with just one lady in front of me, an Asian lady, who was trying to exchange yen for dollars. It was obvious she was a little irritated .

She asked the teller, 'Why it change? Yesterday, I get two hunat dolla of yen.

Today I only get hunat eighty? Why it change?'

The teller shrugged his shoulders and said,'Fluctuations.'

The Asian lady says, 'Fluc you white people too!'
