Stress Management Ideas

A friend sent me this recently. I'm not sure who to attribute it to, but I like it and wanted to share:

• 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 to serve as a warning to others.
• 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.
• 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.

Thanks for passing along that nice list, Sandy! Good ones - all of 'em. How about this one: Never drive faster than your angel can fly. ;-)

Hi Marjon,
Good to hear from you! I like that addition to the list.

I couldn't help but comment on this since it is right up my alley with pigeons. I guess all of them are very relevant to everyone. I just had to share that I got a good laugh out these and a deeper understanding. Thanks for the great post
