COMFORTABLY NUMB

I was out of it (literally) most of the day yesterday as I had a temporary crown put on one tooth, and some enamel repair done on another. It took five hours for the novocaine to wear off, and I spent most of yesterday in a blissful fog. Not much different than other days when you think about it. (HA!) I did stumble across this email in my inbox however, and wanted to post it today. Sound advice for us all...

From Creeds to Love and Live By, by Christian Larson, Edited by SandPiper Studios; Blue Moutain Press

• Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
• To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
• To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
• To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
• To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and expect only the best.
• To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
• To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the great achievements of the future.
• To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
• To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize othes.
• To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
