WHAT IS BELOW WAS SENT TO ME BY A FRIEND, DIANE BEAMER. SHE REPRESENTSTHE ONLY SOURCE I HAVE FOR THE SHORT STORY (which I really like) AND THE QUOTES (some of which I like)

=============================================

| A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and explaining stress management to an audience with a raised |

|glass of water. Everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'half empty or half full?'... She fooled them all .... "How |

|heavy is this glass of water?" she inquired with a smile. |

|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, 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. In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it |

|becomes." |

|She continued, "And that's the way it is with stress. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes |

|increasingly 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 - holding stress longer and better each time practiced. |

|So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night ... Pick |

|them up tomorrow." |

| |

|1  Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue! |

| |

|2  Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. |

| |

|3  Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. |

| |

|4  Drive carefully ... It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker. |

| |

|5  If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague. |

| |

|6  If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it. |

| |

|7  It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. |

| |

|8  Never buy a car you can't push. |

| |

|9  Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on. |

| |

|10  Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. |

| |

|11  Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late. |

| |

|12  The second mouse to the trap gets the cheese. |

| |

|13  When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. |

| |

|14  Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live. |

| |

|16  Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once. |

| |

|17  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. |

| |

|18  A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour. |

| |

|19  Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today. |

| |

|20 Save the earth..... It's the only planet with chocolate! |
