INSTRUCTIONS
Paint a rock and use it remind yourself to be grateful every morning and every night. Paint whatever images help you sleep, and encourage a feeling of abundance and gratitude. Here's how it works:
(Author Unknown)
I'm your little gratitude rock and this is what I'll do.
Just put me on your pillow 'til the day is through.
Then turn back the covers and climb into your bed, and,
WHACK! your little gratitude rock
will gently bump you on the head.
Then you will remember as the day is through,
to say your words of thanks as you intended to.
Then when you are finished please dump me on the floor.
I'll stay there through the night
to give you help once more.
When you get up in the morning,
CLUNK! I stub your little toe,
so that you will remember
your thanks before you go.
Put me back upon your pillow
when your bed is almost made,
and your clever little thank you rock
will continue in your aid.
JOY'S JOURNEY
One of the quickest ways to distinguish someone expressing Myers-Briggs® "P" from someone expressing "J" is this question: Do you keep a "to do" list or a "due today" list? I have a love-hate relationship with the phrase "creature of habit". For the most part, I'm not one. Sometimes I am envious of those people who seem to have an autopilot for almost everything, and other times they annoy the heck out of me. If I don't write it down, or stick it right under my nose, I often forget. I sometimes forget even when something is right under my nose. There is only one way I remember to do NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP every night. I've usually taken out my contact lenses, and when I go to set my glasses down on the night stand, there's my book on the night stand. Oops! One more thing to do before I turn out the light...
QUOTES
If the only prayer you said in your whole life
was "thank you" that would suffice.
