Thought for the day

No I haven't read it. Can I get it on the internet?

Hi again savypat, This is the poem I was telling you about, I was reminded of it when you spoke of looking in the mirror each morning. Blessings. The Man in The Glass When you get what you want in your struggles for self And the world makes you king for a day, Just go to a mirror and look at yourself And see what that man has to say. For it isn't your father or mother or wife Whose judgment upon you must pass, The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one staring back from the glass. Some people might think you're a straight-shooting chum And call you a wonderful guy. But the man in the glass says you're only a bum If you can't look him straight in the eye. He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest For he's with you clear to the end And you've passed your most dangerous test If the guy in the glass is your friend. You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years And get pats on the back as you pass But your final reward will be heartache and tears If you've cheated the man in the glass.

I just got around to rating today and saw you had sent the poem, Thanks it's o so true.

You're such a good person. I'm glad you're my friend. Your advice reminds me to do things I know help. No matter how hard things get (too sick to go to work today), this, too, will pass.

I know you are going through hard times, and you are always in my prayers. Just keep talking to yourself. I did find that by turning my problems over to God and living like I already had everything I needed things have gotten better. Each time I get worried I just say, God I know you are taking care of this and go on. At least that way I don't waste energy in worry. That energy is then used to just get on with life. I remind my self to just live in the now. Right now, this instant, I need nothing. That's how dogs live and look how happy they are.
