REMINDERS![]() I received in a little plastic bag with a ribbon tied around the top a toothpick, a rubber band, a Band-Aid, an eraser, a candy kiss, a mint, a Lifesaver, a piece of bubble gum, a pencil, a tea bag and a folded up piece of paper. It seemed a little strange. I opened the little bag and spread the contents on my desk and turned my attention to the piece of paper. This is what it said: ![]() REMINDERS TOOTHPICK to remind you to pick the good qualities in everyone, including yourself. RUBBER BAND to remind you to be flexible. Things might not always go the way you want, but it can be worked out. BAND-AID to remind you to heal hurt feelings, either yours or someone else's. ERASER to remind you everyone makes mistakes. That's O.K., we learn from our errors. CANDY KISS to remind you everyone needs a hug or a compliment occasionally. MINT to remind you that you are worth a mint to your family and friends. LIFESAVER to remind you that it is O.K. to accept help as well as offer help to others. BUBBLE GUM to remind you to stick with it and you can accomplish anything. PENCIL to remind you to list your blessings every day. TEA BAG to remind you to take some time to relax daily and go over that list of blessings. This is what makes life worth living every minute, every day. |
