It's A Most Unusual Day

It's A Most Unusual Day

William Arthur Ward

TODAY is a most unusual day, because we have never lived it before; we will never

live it again; it is the only day we have.

TODAY can be a healthy unusual day for you--and for others--if you take time to give

someone a smile...to express a word of kindness...to lend a helping hand to someone

in need...to write a note of gratitude... to give a word of encouragement to someone

who is temporarily overcome with problems...to share a portion of your material possessions with others.

LOSE YOURSELF in generous service and every day can be a most unusual day, a

triumphant day, an abundantly rewarding day!

IF THE WORLD WAS BLIND

If the world was blind,

maybe then we'd see

the true side of beauty,

deep within you and me.

No one could judge us

by our outer looks,

like the fancy coverson expensive books.

We'd see with our hearts,

and not just our eyes,

and what we'd discovermight be a surprise.

There would be no needto try to impress,

with the way we look,or the way that we dress.

The only thing that would matteris the way we would feel,

not phoney or cheap,but truthful and real.

Evolution

This is How Evolution Took Place

Parachute mind

The mind is like a parachute,

it only functions when its open.

The Indian Ten Commandments

The Indian Ten Commandments

Treat the Earth and all that dwell there in with respect

Remain close to the Great Spirit

Show great respect for your fellow beings

Work together for the benefit of all Mankind

Give assistance and kindness wherever needed

Do what you know to be right

Look after the well-being of Mind and Body

Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater Good

Be truthful and honest at all times

Take full responsibility for your actions

TODAY

Outside my window a new day

I can seeAnd only I can determine what kind of day it will be.

It can be busy and sunny, laughing and gay,

Or boring and cold, unhappy and gray.

My own state of mind is the determining key,

For I am only the person I let myself be.

I can be thoughtful and do all I can to help,

Or be selfish and think only of myself.

I can enjoy what I do and make it seem fun,

Or gripe and complain and make it hard on someone.

I can be patient with those who make it hard to understand,

Or belittle and hurt them as much as I can.

But I have faith in myself, and believe what I say,

And I personally intend to make the best of each day.

There are many fish in the ocean that swim and swirlBut it's the oyster that turns water into Pearl;Ideas numerous, as many drops as the ocean can holdBut it's the person who can turn ideas into gold.
