*I joined a health club last year, spent about $400. Haven't lost a pound. Apparently you have to show up.
*I have to exercise early in the morning before my brain figures out what I am doing.
*I don't exercise at all. If God meant us to touch our toes, he would have put them further up our body.

Life's Journey

Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Do not set your goals by what other people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.
Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
Do not let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past nor for the future.
By living your life one day at a time, you live all of the days of your life.
Do not give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
It is a fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Do not be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Do not shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love.
The fastest way to lose love is too hold it too tightly.
In addition, the best way to keep love is to give it wings
Do not dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without hope.
To be without hope is to be without purpose.
Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been,
but also where you are going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

It isn't your position that makes you happy or unhappy, It's your disposition.

Sometimes we are so busy adding up our troubles that we forget to count our blessings.

The most valuable gift to give someone is a good example.

God Is Our Guide

God does not send
More than we can bear
Our hearts will mend
If we keep Him there.
After storms it grows calm,
Dark is followed by sun,
We are held in His palm,
Love and faith make us one.
Although there are days
That bring trials and pain,
Having faith in His ways
We will triumph again.
When we let go of fear
Prayer and love make us strong
Know that God will be near
To help guide us along.

   What a time for my back to go out!

            Anyway

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered,
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives ...
Do good anyway.
If you are successful you win false friends and true enemies ...
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow ...
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable ...
Be honest and frank anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs ...
Fight for some underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight ...
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you help them ...
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth ...
Give the world the best you've got ... ANYWAY.
