Reader Comment
Dear Michelle,
Thanks so
much
for directing me to the blog. I just loved the inspirational
reading about Charles Hobbs and the woman who studied bricks and
ants!! I kept hoping she was someone famous that I knew but
no name was given. It was so uplifting to remember that knowledge
can lift us through dark times. I know I find learning new things
therapeutic and who knows what pay off can come from learning
them.
Thank you
for reminding us about these great blogs.
Sincerely,
Teresa

Good Thoughts
An
ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.
Friedrich
Engels
Whatever
you can do, or dream you can do, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
Goethe
When
in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a
microscopically
thin line between being brilliantly creative
and
acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what
the
hell, leap.

MAKING THE
BEST OF YOU
They say
"make the best of a bad situation." But I believe the bad
situation
makes the best of you. Even the irritations of life can be
useful.
President Abraham Lincoln showed us how this is so.
One of his
cabinet appointees, Edwin Stanton, frequently found flaws
with the
president and criticized him -- sometimes in public. Lincoln
seemed to
show excessive patience with him. The president was asked
why he kept
such a man in a high level position.
Lincoln
characteristically responded with a story. He told about a
time he was
visiting with an old farmer. He noticed a big horsefly
biting the
flank of the farmer's horse. Lincoln said he reached over
to brush the
fly away. As he did so, the farmer stopped him and
cautioned,
"Don't do that, friend. That horsefly is the only thing
keeping this
old horse moving."
Even life's
many irritations and problems have their place. They may
cause us to
change directions. Or prod us to greater achievement. Or
keep us
moving along when it's easier to go nowhere.
Are you
simply making the best of a bad situation, or will it make the
best of you?
