• Handle the Stress..?

  Turn your burdens over to ”God”. That would be the best answer and you would not have to pick them up the next morning.

   

       A young lady confidently walked around the room with a raised glass of water while leading a seminar and explaining stress management to her audience. Everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'Half empty or half full?' She fooled them all. "How heavy is this glass of water?" she inquired with a smile. Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. To 20 oz.

   

       She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.

   

       If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

   

       She continued, "and that's the way it is with stress. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."

   

       "As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden - holding stress longer and better each time practiced.

   

       So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night. Pick them up again tomorrow if you must.

   

  1 * Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue!

   

  2 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

   

  3 * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

   

  4 * Drive carefully... It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.

   

  5 * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

   

  6 * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

   

  7 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

   

  8 * Never buy a car you can't push.

   

  9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

   

  10 * Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

   

  11 * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

   

  12 * The second mouse gets the cheese.

   

  13 * When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

   

  14 * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

   

  16 * Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.

   

  17 * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.

   

  18 * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

   

  19 * Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today.

   

  AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

   

  20 *Save the Earth..... It's the only planet with chocolate!*

• Daily Smile at Covid-19's Expense ;-)

  Today, from Bob Reers:
  
  Coronavirus stress relief:

   

  Tomorrow is the National Homeschool Tornado Drill. Lock your kids in the basement until you give the all clear. You’re welcome!

   

  I was so bored I called Jake from State Farm just to talk to someone. He asked me what I was wearing.

   

  2019: Stay away from negative people. 2020: Stay away from positive people.

   

  The world has turned upside down. Old folks are sneaking out of the house, and their kids are yelling at them to stay indoors!

   

  You think it’s bad now? In 20 years our country will be run by people homeschooled by day drinkers…

   

  This virus has done what no woman had been able to do…cancel all sports, shut down all bars, and keep men at home!!!

   

  Do not call the police on suspicious people in your neighborhood! Those are your neighbors without makeup and hair extensions!

   

  Since we can’t eat out, now’s the perfect time to eat better, get fit, and stay healthy. We’re quarantined! Who are we trying to impress? We have snacks, we have sweatpants – I say we use them!

   

  Day 7 at home and the dog is looking at me like, “See? This is why I chew the furniture!”

   

  Does anyone know if we can take showers yet or should we just keep washing our hands???

   

  I never thought the comment “I wouldn’t touch him/her with a 6 foot pole” would become a national policy, but here we are!

   

  Me: Alexa what’s the weather this weekend?

  Alexa: It doesn’t matter – you’re not going anywhere.

   

  Can everyone please just follow the government instructions so we can knock out this coronavirus and be done?! I feel like a kindergartner who keeps losing more recess time because one or two kids can’t follow directions.  

   

  When this is over…what meeting do I attend first…Weight Watchers or AA?

   

  Quarantine has turned us into dogs. We roam the house all day looking for food. We are told “no” if we get too close to strangers. And we get really excited about car rides.
