How do I feel: Foggy, hopeful
Bible verse: Psalm 4:5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.
This verse tells me that I need to do what is right and trust in my Lord that everything will be ok.
Spiritual Quote: God doesn't require us to succeed; he only requires that you try.” ~Mother Teresa
I love this quote. God only requires that I do what is right to glorify Him, trust in Him, and not give up.
Affirmation: I will try to communicate with skill and understanding.
Listening is a big part of communicating with those around us. So I am trying to learn to listen with skill and understanding to be able to communicate better. I enjoy helping others learn to resolve conflict too.
Truths Be Known: Your greatest fortune is the large number of friends you have.
I don’t know who said this, but I believe the quality of friends is what counts. When I was a teenager I had loads of friends, but now for some reason I only have friends here at DS. To tell the truth, I disagree with this saying. People can be surrounded with friends and still be lonely unless the quality of the friendships is significant.
Quote: It doesn't matter how strong your opinions are. If you don't use your power for positive change, you are, indeed, part of the problem. ~Coretta Scott King
I do agree with this. I have known some people who were very opinionated and very verbal about those opinions, but if they are negative opinions and only causing more negativity, those people are indeed part of the problem.
Indian Proverb: Who is blind? He who can see no other world. Who is dumb? He who can say nothing pleasant about his lot. Who is poor? He who is troubled with too many desires. Who is rich? He who is happy with his lot.
I loved this the first time I read it. All about being a positive or a negative thinker.
Funny: He who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at.
If we cannot laugh at ourselves we are going to be miserable. J
Fortune Cookie Saying: Your heart is a place to draw true happiness.
We cannot rely on someone else to make us happy. We have to make ourselves happy.
Fact or Fiction: Two in every three car buyers pays the sticker price without haggling.
I have tried to haggle, but there has got to be something else to this.
"It's that time of year to take our annual senior citizen test."
Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it's important to keep mentally alert. If you don't use it, you lose it! Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence.
There are only 5 questions, so don't get all excited and confused yet.
Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing it or not. The spaces between the question and answers below are there so you don't see the correct answers until you've made your answer.
OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.
1. What do you put in a toaster?
Answer: "bread." If you said "toast," maybe you should give up now and do something else. Try not to hurt yourself.
If you said, bread, go to Question 2.
2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk."
What do cows drink?
Answer: Cows drink water. If you said "milk," maybe you shouldn't even attempt to answer the next question. Your brain is apparently over-stressed and may even overheat.
Content yourself with reading more appropriate literature such as Auto World.
However, if you said "water", proceed to question 3.
3. If a red house is made from red bricks, and a blue house is made from blue bricks, and a pink house is made from pink bricks, and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?
Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said "green bricks," why are you still reading these???
If you said "glass," go on to Question 4.
4. It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany (If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany). Anyway, during the flight, TWO engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he can do so and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany, West Germany, or no man's land?
Answer: You don't bury survivors.
If you said ANYTHING else, you're in real bad shape and for your own sake you must stop. If you said, "You don't bury survivors", proceed to the next question.
5. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales In London, 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon, two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on. In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the name of the bus driver?
Answer: Oh, for crying out loud!
Don't you remember your own name?
Or have you forgotten it was YOU driving the BUS!!
Don't worry, about 97% of test takers fail this test.
