TweetMy problems. There's a saying that if we all threw our problems into the middle of the room and we could see everyone else's, we would grab ours back as soon as we could. I don't base my happiness on the misery of others however, I realize that I don't always have it as bad as I sometimes think. Very grateful today.

Tweetfinding things that help me get through the day. I watch a lot of motivational videos and my favorite series is the, Your World Within videos. Really great stuff. I love being reminded that hard work pays off and there is light at the end of the tunnel on the days I can't see it. Here is a link, https://www.yourworldwithin.com/

TweetRemembering that just because the day starts out rocky does not mean it has to stay that way. Hit the reset button and move on. It kinda of relates to this story about the two monks.....


Two monks were making a pilgrimage to venerate the relics of a great Saint. During the course of their journey, they came to a river where they met a beautiful young woman -- an apparently worldly creature, dressed in expensive finery and with her hair done up in the latest fashion. She was afraid of the current and afraid of ruining her lovely clothing, so asked the brothers if they might carry her across the river.

The younger and more exacting of the brothers was offended at the very idea and turned away with an attitude of disgust. The older brother didn't hesitate, and quickly picked the woman up on his shoulders, carried her across the river, and set her down on the other side. She thanked him and went on her way, and the brother waded back through the waters.

The monks resumed their walk, the older one in perfect equanimity and enjoying the beautiful countryside, while the younger one grew more and more brooding and distracted, so much so that he could keep his silence no longer and suddenly burst out, "Brother, we are taught to avoid contact with women, and there you were, not just touching a woman, but carrying her on your shoulders!"

The older monk looked at the younger with a loving, pitiful smile and said, "Brother, I set her down on the other side of the river; you are still carrying her."
