Chain Mail

'Worry looks around, Sorry looks back, Faith looks up

I'm never sure what to do with chain mail. Especially the ones that say send back to sender so they know you care. Maybe if i did a little better job letting them know how much they've added to my life, I wouldn't feel compelled to forward them back. (Can you forward something back?) At any rate, these seemed like good words to contemplate:

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.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. You are special and unique.

8.. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take another look.

11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

As an aside, however, there is a line (I think from Butch Cassidy) that goes something like . . . Morons, I have morons on my team. I met one of those yesterday. I live in a gated community with roving security. One of them stopped me because I had my Labrador, Daisy, in the golf cart with me. She loves to go for rides. Now, all dogs have to be on a leash, if not on your property. He stopped me and called his supervisor to see if a dog was in a golf cart, did it still need a leash. It must have been a slow day in the world of security. I'm trying to remember a compliment cause that just about ruined my sense of humor. My husband is grateful that I was not arrested. He does keep referring to Daisy and me as the felons. Ah well, I bought a new Vera Bradley Miller Bag to make me feel better and I'm taking Daisy out for a ride hoping I'll find the conscientious security moron.
