  Reflections

 

My Ten Commandments    Elodie Armstrong - 90 years old...

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 not cross bridges before you get to them, for no one yet has succeeded in accomplishing this. 

Thou shalt face each problem as it comes. You can handle only one at a time anyway. 

Thou shalt not take problems 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. 

Thou shalt not try to relive yesterday for good or ill....it is gone. Concentrate on what is happening in you life today.

Thou shalt count thy blessings, never overlooking the small ones, for a lot of small blessings add up to a big one. 

Thou 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 become bogged down by frustration, for 90% of it is rooted in self-pity and it will only interfere with positive action.

You've got to dance like nobody's watching, and love like it's never going to hurt.

People say true friends must always hold hands, but true friends don't need to hold hands because they know the other hand will always be there. - Unknown

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. 'Pooh!' he whispered.  'Yes, Piglet?'  'Nothing,' said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw.  'I just wanted to be sure of you.  I will not drag you along; I will not leave you alone; I will stand by you and have my hand there for you to hold when you need to.
