Labour Days Weekend.
Yesterday & today we had a right tidy up.
Every room, every cupboard, every nook & cranny and even
our storage locker.
Came across some old photos & beautiful cards from Adam.
From the 1st card he gave me, each one has been perfect
and the words he writes make my heart melt.
I also found a photocopy of this that I should read often:
TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR A LONG AND PEACEFUL LIFE
Thou shalt not worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities.
Thou shalt not be fearful, for most of the things we fear never come to pass.
Thou shalt face each problem as it comes. You can handle only one at a time.
Thou shalt not cross bridges before you get to them, for no one yet has succeeded in accomplishing this.
Thous shalt not take problem to bed with you, for they make very poor bedfellows.
Thou shalt not borrow other people's problems. They can take better care of them than you can.
Thous shalt be a good listener, for only when you listen do you hear ideas different from your own. It's very hard to learn something new when you're talking.
Thou shalt not try to re-live yesterday for good or ill - it is gone. Concentrate on what is happening in your life today.
Thous shalt not become bogged down by frustration, for 50% of it is rooted in self-pity and will only interfere with positive actions.
Thou shalt count thy blessings, never overlooking the small ones - for a lot of small blessings add up to a big one.
Reading that list & this - a favorite photo of Crockett -
makes me relax & smile.
