I received a forwarded email yesterday from a sweet friend.
Now, I'm not really fond of these emails...
some are cute and some are just downright annoying ~
But this one was precious....
I had to share it with you sweet friends ~
Attitude
There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror,
and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
'Well,' she said, 'I think I'll braid my hair today.'
So she did and she had a wonderful day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror
and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.
'H-M-M,' she said, 'I think I'll part my hair down the middle today.'
So she did and she had a grand day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed
that she had only one hair on her head.
'Well,' she said, 'today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail.'
So she did, and she had a fun, fun day.
The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and
noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head.
'YAY!' she exclaimed. 'I don't have to fix my hair today!'
Attitude. is. everything.

Be kinder than necessary,
for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
Live simply,
Love generously,
Care deeply,
Speak kindly,
and pray continually.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Thanks Dawn,
I love this post! I've often thought the difference between a so-so day and a great day is perspective......and attitude.
Thanks for the reminder....

What a delightful reminder to everyone that attitude is indeed everything! :)
Thank you, Dawn. I stopped to breathe and change my attitude yesterday at the day job. Made a huge difference. Thanks for the reminder to keep positive even when things are not going your way.
LOVE IT!!!
I've been enjoying your blog for a few weeks now, and had to add you to my blog roll.

Someone forwarded this to me, too, and it's one of the few such emails that I actually enjoyed, because it is true.
Have a wonderful day fixing up your new house, sweet friend!
That is so lovely. Thanks for sharing., Dawn. A dear friend of mine is fighting a difficult battle with cancer and just lost his hair after a chemo "cocktail" of seven different therapies. His daughter and wife had a great time shaving it off and his other daughter watched by video from the opposite coast. He has printed pictures of himself on his caring bridge site. There used to be the funniest song called, "I Love Bald Headed Men" and I wish I could find it for him. I just can't help but thinking of him as I read this.
