Rules to being Happy.

Post 260 - - - - - Tuesday, 17th July, 2007.

Hi Everyone ~~ I hope you are all enjoying your lives and having nicer
weather than we are having in Victoria at present. There is an unusual
snap of cold weather, right from the Antarctic, so they say. There has
even been snowfalls in some areas, Ballarat, Geelong, Maryborough,
and in the Dandenongs. There was a road closed, because of snow near
Daylesford. And snow fell at Kyneton where Lee-ann lives.

Well my grand-daughter rang last night from Brisbane airport, and will
be safely at home now.. She lives about an hour from the Airport.
My Home Care lady came today so all is clean and tidy again and nice
fresh sheets on my bed and the room Bec was in.

Thank you so much Kate for your comments, glad you enjoy it,
Love always, Grandma.

Tonight I have an item called "Rules for being Happy."

God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow,
sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day,
comfort for the tears and light for the way.


Disappointments are like road bumps, they slow you down a bit
but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards. Don't stay on the
bump too long. Move on !!

When you feel down because you didn't get what you want, just
sit tight and be happy, because God is thinking of something
better to give you.

When something happens to you, good or bad, consider what it
means. There's a purpose to life's events to teach you how to
laugh more or not to cry too hard.

You can't make someone love you, all you can do is be someone
who can be loved, the rest is up to the person to realize your worth.

The measure of love is when you love without measures.

In life there are very rare chances that you'll meet the person you
love and loves you in return. So once you have it, don't ever let it go, the
chance might never come your way again.

It's better to lose your pride to the one you love, than to lose the one you
love because of pride. We spend so much time looking for the right
person to love or finding fault with those we already love, when instead
we should be perfecting the love we give.

When you truly care for someone, you don't look for faults, you don't look
for answers, you don't look for mistakes. Instead, you fight the mistakes,
you accept the faults and you overlook excuses.

Never abandon an old friend. You will never find one who can take his
or her place.

Friendship is like wine. It gets better as it grows older,

Remember the five simple rules to be happy :

1. Free your heart of hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

No one can go back and make a brand new start. Anyone can start
from now and make a brand new ending.

Now for some jokes - - - -

A business man had three trays on his desk marked In, Out and LBW.
A client asked him what the LBW tray meant.
"Oh, that means "Let the Blighters Wait."
<><>

The scene was in a Law court. The prosecution counsel faces the female
witness and rasps: "Is it true you committed adultery on the 18th June
in a snowstorm while riding on the roof of an automobile travelling at
ninety miles per hour through Slough with a one-legged dwarf waving a
Union Jack ?"

The young woman in the witness box looked straight at the prosecuting
counsel and said calmly : "What was that date again ?"
<><>

A woman got on a bus with seven children. The conductor asked, "Are
these all yours or is it a picnic ?"

"They're all mine," came the reply, "and it's no picnic !!"
<><>

A Scotsman was seriously ill in hospital and his last request was for the
bagpipes to be played. They were. He recovered, the other patients
died.
<><>

Two blondes were walking through the woods and they came to some
tracks . The first blonde said, "These look like deer tracks." and the
other one said, "No, they look more like moose tracks."

They argued and argued for a while and they were still arguing when
the train hit them !!

Two men in a saloon were playing cards. One of them thumped the
table, saying, " I win."
"What have you got?" asked the other cowboy.
"Four aces."
"I'm afraid you don't win."
"That's almost impossible," declared the first man. "What cards have
you got?"
"Two nines and a loaded gun."
"Oh." said the first man, "You win. But how come you're so lucky ?"
