The Law of the Garbage Truck

Don’t you just love emails?  Dave and Reinette are two special friends I have known for several years. We live miles apart. so I cannot see them or go out to dinner with them, but we can keep in contact….AND they send me the BEST emails. Some make me think—some are motivational and others make me smile. I love this one and hope you will also!

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches!

The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!’

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call

‘The Law of the Garbage Truck’

 He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you

Don’t take it personally!

Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.

Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so … 

 Love the people who treat you right.

Pray for the ones who don’t.

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

Have a  garbage-free day!

Heart Health and MORE

Do you sometimes hear about supplements…and not really understand their function? I do and often will do some research—rather than just jump on the bandwagon and assume I need that particular supplement. I have heard about CoQ-10 for a long time and vaguely knew it had something to do with the heart, but recently I decided I needed to know more.

Mayo Clinic gives this explanation of CoQ-10:

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant that is made in the human body. CoQ10 is needed for basic cell function. CoQ10 levels decrease with age and may be low in people with cancer, certain genetic disorders, diabetes, heart conditions, HIV/AIDS, muscular dystrophies, and Parkinson’s disease. Some prescription drugs may also lower CoQ10 levels.

Here’s Your Smile For The Day!

 

A good friend sent me this email today. What a great start to my day!! Hope you enjoy it also!!

PORK CHOPS

In a zoo in California , a mother tiger gave birth
to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs.
Unfortunately,
Due to complications in the pregnancy,
the cubs were born prematurely
and due to their tiny size,
they died shortly after birth.

The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery,
suddenly started to decline in health,
Although physically she was fine.

The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter
had caused the tigress to fall into a depression.
The doctors decided
that if the tigress could surrogate
another mother’s cubs,
perhaps she would improve.

After checking with many other zoos across the country,

the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs
of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother..

The veterinarians decided to try something
that had never been tried in a zoo environment.
Sometimes a mother of one species
will take on the care of a different species..

The only orphans’ that could be found quickly,
were a litter of weaning pigs.
The zoo keepers and vets
wrapped the piglets in tiger skin
and placed the babies around the mother tiger…
Would they become cubs or pork chops?

Take a look…you won’t believe your eyes

Now, please tell me one more time ..
Why can’t the rest of the world get along?

Do You Eat Even When Not Hungry?

We love our food!! We eat to maintain and support our bodies, but some of us eat even when we are not hungry. Or we eat when we are hungry and never stop until we are stuffed.

Overeating can lead to weight gain and obesity, but there are so many other risks associated with overeating. It can lead to Type 2 Diabetes. Web MD says Type 2 Diabetes means your body cannot use insulin correctly and this makes your blood sugar levels harder to control. If left untreated, this can lead to other problems like damage to your kidneys, your eyes and your heart.

Then consider depression and anxiety. Often overweight people suffer with these. Are they bought on by overeating and being overweight….or does the depression or anxiety cause a person to continue eating way past the full signal? Either way, the extra pounds are just not good for your body!

You CAN Change Your Life

There’s an old saying– and we hear it A LOT in the personal development world…

PERCEPTION IS REALITY

You may or may not agree. But today I was reminded of a funny story from my life that I wanted to share with you…Back with my son was younger we had two dogs.

Max– a golden retriever

and Chumley– a black Chow Chow.

I loved them both very much. And I’d say they both pretty much lived up to what most people expect from their breed.

THE MAGIC BANK ACCOUNT

Imagine that you had won the following *PRIZE* in a contest:

What would you personally do?

Let’s Honor Dr Martin Luther King’s DREAM

Today is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s birthday. Dr. King was one of those rare people who had a vision so big that it didn’t just serve him or his family or a city or a state or a country…It was a vision so powerful that it served (and transformed) humanity.

I’m sure you’re familiar with his famous, “I HAVE A DREAM” speech…(as I type the words I can hear his impassioned voice saying, “I HAVE A DREAM”…you probably can, too).

But what I find most inspiring about Dr. King isn’t written in the lines of that great speech.What I’m most inspired by is the commitment he made to live his life by returning hatred, evil, anger and the absolute worst outpouring of human behavior with…

LOVE and PEACE.
