Put your umbrella up when it's raining.

Mel said...

You're kidding---right?

Well....according to the Fairies this morning:

Seek balance.
Balance emotions with reason.
Combine detachment with doing our part.
Balance giving with receiving.
Alternate work with play, business with personal activities.
Balance tending to our spiritual needs with tending to our other needs.
Juggle responsibilities to others with responsibilities to ourselves.
Balance caring about others with caring about ourselves.
Whenever possible, let's be good to others, but be good to ourselves too.
Some of us have to make up for lost time.



Howzat for a start? :-)

(careful whatcha ask for, huh? LOL)

Mel said...

Oh......and I was kinda likin' :

Becoming responsible adults is no longer a matter of whether children hang up there pajamas or put dirty towels in the hamper, but whether they care about themselves and others --

Mel said...

NOT to mention:

Life is mostly froth and bubble, Two things stand like stone, Kindness in another's trouble, Courage in your own.




Aren't ya glad ya asked?

Off the top of my head cuz I could stand to remember them myself:


Since when does what you WANT to do have anything to do with what you NEED to do?

There's more than one way to look at things, kid.

You can analyze the **** out of water and break it down to all its components--THEN try to quench your thirst....g'head....

It matters to ME. YOU matter....to me....

We need to learn to set our course by the stars, not by every passing ship.

Just so you know--that last piece is on the framed poster by the breakfast table.
