Hug's and Love

Would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jarAnd be better off than you areOr would you rather be a mule?A mule is an animal with long funny earsKicks up at anything he hearsHis back is brawny but his brain is weak He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streakAnd by the way, if you hate to go to school You may grow up to be a muleOr would you like to swing on a starCarry moonbeams home in a jarAnd be better off than you are Or would you rather be a pig?A pig is an animal with dirt on his face His shoes are a terrible disgraceHe has no manners when he eats his foodHe's fat and lazy and extremely rudeBut if you don't care a feather or a fig You may grow up to be a pigOr would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jarAnd be better off than you areOr would you rather be a fish?A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook He can't write his name or read a bookTo fool the people is his only thought And though he's slippery, he still gets caughtBut then if that sort of life is what you wishYou may grow up to be a fish A new kind of jumped-up slippery fishAnd all the monkeys aren't in the zoo Every day you meet quite a fewSo you see it's all up to youYou can be better than you areYou could be swingin' on a star .

Stress is a fact of life. Every one of us encounters it.

If your work is stressful, if you're a single parent or a

Caretaker of an elderly parent or spouse, or if you're grieving

For someone you love, your stress level has probably peaked.

Since it is impossible to avoid stress, we must deal

With it. The key in dealing with stress is learning how

To de-stress. It's about opening your valve and

Releasing the pressure.

Music, walking, laughing and curling up with a good book

Are all great ways to bring calm back into your life-even

If it is just for a moment. Don't forget to take care of

Yourself, it is only when you do that the stresses of your live

Seem easier to handle.

Every positive thing in your life represents a single unique blessing. Every negative thing in your life has the opportunity to become a double blessing. For when you turn a negative into a positive, you gain twice. You are no longer burdened with the negative situation, and in addition to that you are strengthened by a new positive force. Heal a strained relationship and not only do you lose an enemy, you also gain a friend. Turn a weakness into a strength, and not only are you no longer held back by the weakness, you are pushed forward by the strength. Every negative situation carries its own energy. When you turn that energy around, the effort involved brings a double reward. The weaknesses, liabilities, nuisances and troubles are no cause for despair. They are assets, conveniences, joys and riches waiting to be manifested through your efforts. Don't seek to merely get rid of the negative things in your life. Instead, transform their energy into something of real positive value. Ralph Marston
