Funny Fwd.

One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized >what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone’s amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up

As the farmer’s neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred – Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries – Most never happen anyway.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less

NOW ——–

Enough of that crap . . .

The donkey later came back and bit the shit out of the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected, and the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.

MORAL FROM TODAY’S LESSON:
When you do something wrong and try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you

Larkspur??

A co-worker showed me this book called Colorstrology : What Your Birthday Color Says About You

It states my color is Larkspur?? I’ve never even heard of it….

This is what it has to say about my birthday : Dec. 26th


Larkspur

Complex
Courageous
Restless

If you were born on this day :
It is best for you to be in a position of authority. It is not a great idea for you to follow someone else’s rules. Courageous and complex, you are not always easily understood. You want to know what makes things tick. You are concerned about the core of a situtaion, not the appearance of things. Part of your challenge is to learn how to work with a partner. Receptivity and diplomacy are needed in your exchanges with others.

How this color benefits you : Wearing, meditating, or surrounding yourself with the color Larkspur helps you combine your depth with subtlety and grace.

Compatible birthdays : February 10 * March 20 * July 12

I don’t put much stock in this (especially when I looked up my family birthdays and none of it applies to them) but boy this one about my day………so true. When it comes to work, I have to be in charge of domain or just someone who comes in and leaves when the shift is over. I also love figuring our things came to be, the whys and the hows.

When it comes to diplomacy, I gave up on that a long time ago. I suck at beating around the bush. I find it easier to just to get it all out in the open and tell it truthfully.

This is was just to weird of “who you are” kind of thing, that I just had to share………..grin

Christmas Birthdays

Christmas birthdays take the cake

Morgan says being born on Christmas Day wasn’t a horrible thing. Getting buried by presents every Dec. 25 more than compensated for those long dry spells the rest of the year.

“I think if you were born between Dec. 26 and Dec. 30, that would be a lot worse,” Morgan says. “Because by then, everybody’s tired.”

**This is so true for Dec. 26th. Unlike this Morgan……I never got extra presents unless it was from my folks. Most folks would make my Christmas present my birthday present and to top that off, it was normally no better or cheaper…..it was annoying to even get people to remember my birthday.
