Happy Monday, Folksies!
Yes, it is Monday. The weekend is now a memory and it is now quite a nice memory. We shall see if I feel the same way tomorrow about today. We are in for weather - wintry mix and in general, the scarey stuff we dread. Prayers for everyone's safety today. I fully expect school to dismiss early. We are hoping that it really doesn't ice us over and lose power. Yuck.
Okay, here is the extra long part of the post. I received this email and just HAD to share it here. I normally don't fwd emails, but, heckfire shoot! I could've written this one. And quite naturally, I really needed to read it myself.
A Psychologist walked around a room while teaching Stress Management to an audience.
As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they'd be asked the "Half empty or Half full" question.
Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired:
"How heavy is this glass of water?"
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter.
It depends on how long I hold it.
If I hold it for a minute,
it's not a problem.
If I hold it for an hour,
I'll have an ache in my arm.
If I hold it for a day,
my arm will feel numb and paralyzed.
In each case,
the weight of the glass doesn't change,
But
The longer I hold it,
the heavier it becomes.
She continued,
"The Stresses and Worries in Life , are like that Glass of Water...
Think about them for a while and nothing happens.
Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt.
And
If you think about them all day long,
you will feel paralyzed –
incapable of doing anything....!!!"
Remember to put the Glass Down
Blessings to each, have a marvelous day, and SMILE!
