Something I'd Like To Share:
A Little Relationship Book That's Helped Me
Do you have a loving
relationship with your significant other? Are you a good
communicator? Can you get problems aired, discussed and
maybe solved without charged emotions flying through the
air and unkind words being said?
Initially I couldn't, but over the years I've
learned that I can.
I think we all want loving relationships but I
don't ever remember seeing an instructional manual on how
to go about developing and sustaining one. Did you see one?
Did you get one?
Even though I have been in my present relationship
for over 15 years, I still need to learn new skills and
refine existing ones to ensure that my communication is
clear, loving and non-threatening.
One book that has really helped me is "Don't Sweat
the Small Stuff in Love" by Richard Carlson and Kristine
Carlson. I know you can buy it everywhere - check Amazon
and other providers. When I came upon it many years ago, I
was immediately attracted to it. 100 insights fill the book
- each about 2 pages long - with examples and outcomes that
helped me learn more about myself and how I was
communicating.
Every day, I still open the book and pick a page
randomly to re-read. Why do I do this? Because my
relationship is important and I want to keep it in the
front of my mind each day.
Maybe, if you need it, this little book could help
you too.
"There are no mistakes, no coincidences. All events
are blessings given to us to learn from."
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
A Story To Ponder:
A Wise Woman's Stone
A wise woman, who was
traveling in the mountains, found a precious stone in a
stream. The next day she met another traveler who was
hungry and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food.
The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the
woman to give it to him. She did so without hesitation.
The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune.
He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for
a lifetime. But, a few days later, he came back to return
the stone to the wise woman.
"I've been thinking," he said. "I know how
valuable this stone is, but I give it back in the hope that
you can give me something even more precious. Give me what
you have within you that enabled you to give me this
stone."

Something To Consider:
It's All About Choice
You have choices to
make everyday and how you feel about yourself and others is
one of them. Why not start the day in a positive frame of
mind by choice? Here's a few suggestion to get you going:
- Start the day
off by saying thank you, first thing, to whatever higher
power you believe in. Be thankful and grateful for all
that you are, for all that you have, for all that you
have experienced.
- Decide that
today is going to be a great day and make it one.
Remember it's your choice and always is.
- At the end of
the day, say thank you again for all of the experiences
you had today and the people you interacted with.
You see each day we get
to decide how we want our life to be. In spite of all the
tragedies in the world, I choose to be positive. I choose
to believe in everyone's goodness. I choose to believe in
me. I choose to believe in YOU.
You can too - all you have to do is choose.
If you do this each day for a month, (remember it
takes a minimum of 28 days to create a habit), your life is
going to be different.
A Quote To
Motivate You:
"Be so strong that
nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Talk health,
happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. Make all
your friends feel there is something in them. Look at the
sunny side of everything. Think only of the best, work only
for the best, and expect only the best. Be as enthusiastic
about success of others as you are about your own. Forget
the mistakes of the past and press on the greater
achievements of the future. Give everyone a smile. Spend so
much time improving yourself that you have no time left to
criticize others. Be too big for worry and too noble for
anger."
--- Christian D. Larsen
Until Next Time, Remember:
We are put here on
earth to help one another.
