Quote of the Month

Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well. Hope is the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.

Deep Thoughts
from George Carlin

If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?

When someone asks you, "A penny for your thoughts" and you put your two cents in . . . what happens to the other penny?

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

Why do croutons come in airtight packages? Aren't they just stale bread to begin with?

Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?

Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?

If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP?

Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks?

The Top Ten Gifts to
Give Yourself Now That
the Holidays Are Over

When you were a child, did you ever create coupons as gifts for your parents? "This coupon is good for one night of washing dishes" and "Good for one big hug." Well, this month, I’ve written some gift coupons for you to use as you please. These come with unlimited usage and no expiration date!

1. The gift of pleasing yourself.

At first this might feel a bit strange and wickedly selfish. But go ahead and do it anyway.

2. The gift of taking a day off...completely off.

No checking messages or thinking about work.

3. The gift of doing something totally out of character.

Go ahead. Change your hair color... skydive... throw a spontaneous "come as you are" party. Oh, the choices are endless!

4. The gift of asking for help.

Especially if it feels a bit uncomfortable.

5. The gift of not knowing all the answers.

"Hmmmm…I'm not sure. Can I get back to you on that?"

6. The gift of sitting down for 30 minutes.

To just bask in doing NOTHING.

7. The gift of feeling completely pleased with yourself.

No matter what.

8. The gift of saying "no."

"Thanks, but I’ll have to pass on that."

9. The gift of going to bed early.

Or sleeping late.

10. The gift of writing your own gift coupon.

What will it be? Will you play more, take a trip, take a risk, buy a puppy or a car...or maybe both?!

Remember, it's your life...give yourself the gift of enjoying it.
