Arrrgh!!!

I wanted to share a list of suggestions that came in an e-mail on stress management. They seem like a great collection of ways to deal with the burdens in your life. I hope that something here makes your holidays a little lighter.

* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
(EWWWWWWWWWW)

* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
(Good advice. I hope I'm not the only one who needs it.)

* 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.
(This hit just too close to home.)

* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
(IF you can't compliment a woman on her dress, tell her how pretty the buttons are!)

* 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 to serve as a warning to others. (Hm......all of you who think I'm crazy to wash and iron the garage curtains just hush up.)

* Never buy a car you can't push.

* Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on. (NOW you tell me!)

* 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. (Uh huh. I invariably choose the longest line in any store, too.)

* 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. (Name one!)

* 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. (This one's my favorite. *S*)

*A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
