ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT

Saturday, October 21, 2006

The golf course had a wicked dog leg, two huge sand traps, and a pond. Tim Hansel tells about a golfer who described all the obstacles on this course and then said, “I love it! It’s the most exciting course I’ve ever played!” The course was difficult and it brought out his best golfing skills. With the right attitude we can turn something difficult into something fun and stimulating.

The choice is not if you’ll accept problems, but how! Your attitude determines whether or not you will succeed. William James said, “Perhaps the greatest discovery of this century is that if you can change your attitude, you can change your life.”

Do you need an attitude adjustment? Maybe.

BIG TIME SHOPPING

Friday, October 20, 2006

My Dr. wants me to walk everyday so today I’m going to. We are on our way to the Flea Market. About the best thing I can say for it, is “It’s big.” About the best thing I get out of it, is exercise. This is definitely not Charlotte’s “cup of tea” but she tolerates it. I have always liked to look at “junk.” Let’s face it—I’m cheap! Do you really get bargains at the Flea Market? I don’t know. I’m not with the F.B.I. I don’t go there to investigate. If I think it’s a bargain—it’s a bargain.

Ok, so this is far removed from Vegas and shopping on the strip. This is how far down you can go in retirement. I have been working around the house all week and I need to get out and about. This is the best I can do for now.

WORLD SERIES

Thursday, October 19, 2006

Needless to say, the Diamondbacks will not be in the World Series. But that doesn’t keep me from being interested just the same. With the series coming up soon, you may be interested in some of the “stuff” found at http://www.baseball-reference.com/. Check it out. Even if you are not interested in baseball there is some interesting information here. Well, on second thought, if you are not interested in baseball you will probably not be interested in what you find at that site. Forget it! You’ve got better things to do with your time.

I BELIEVE IN GOD

“I believe in God like I believe in the sun rise. Not because I see it, but because I can see all it touches.”
C.S. Lewis

A GOOD THOUGHT

“Nothing taken for granted; everything received with gratitude; everything passed on with grace.”
G.K. Chesterton

YOU MAY BE A REDNECK IF...

Tuesday, October 17, 2006

Your standard of living improves when you go camping.
Your prenuptial agreement mentions chickens.
You have jacked up your home to look for a dog.
There is a belch on your answering machine greeting.
None of the tires on your van are the same size.
You hold the hood of your car with your head while you work on it.
Your town put the new garbage truck in the Christmas parade.
Your local beauty salon also fixes cars.
Your doghouse and your living room have the same shag carpet.
You've ever slow danced in the Waffle House.
Starting your car involves popping the hood.
Your garbage man is confused about what goes and what stays.
You whistle at women in church.
You actually wear shoes your dog brought home.
You've been in a fistfight at a yard sale.
You carry a fly swatter in the front seat of the car so you can reach the kids in the backseat.
You think people who have cell phones and e-mail are uppity.
