>The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter.
>It depends on how long you try to hold it.
>If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem.
>If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.
> If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.

>heavy, we won't be able to carry on. "
>"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest
>before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the
>burden."
> "So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down.
>Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow.
>Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you
>can."
>So, my friend, Put down anything that may be a burden to you right now.
>Don't pick it up again until after you've rested a while.
>Here are some great ways of dealing with the burdens of life:
>
>* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the
>statue.
>* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat
>them.
>* Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the
>middle of it.
>* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their
>maker.
>* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
>* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again,
>it was probably worth it.
>* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply be kind to others.
>* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time,
>because then you won't have a leg to stand on.
>* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
>* Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
>* The second mouse gets the cheese.
>* When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
>* Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
>* You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world
>to one person.
>* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
>* We could learn a lot from crayons... Some are sharp, some are
>pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different
>colors, but they all have to live in the same box.
> *A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
> Have an awesome day and know that someone
>has thought about you today...I did.

STRESS---READ--ITS REALLY GOOD
the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and self-control
Thanks Barb,
Those are truely good words to live by. Unfortunately, we all seem to forget them sometimes - guess that's what makes us human!
I'm going to print this and put it on my wall at work - might even end up with one on the fridge!
Here's to remembering to "setting the glass down more often than not"!!!
Love,
Mars

"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful." -- Buddha
