Law of the Garbage Truck
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 taxidriver 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 blessed, garbage-free day!

I used to live in high heels and business suits. Now, the only time I don that apparel is for funerals. I used to love my high heels! The funkier, the better. Seems like a lifetime ago! I look at them now and I can see the artistic quality they possess. The ones that Carrie adored on Sex and the City would have been so fun to make! I’ll stick to my flip flops and my small town lake life. It suits me.

This little dragonfly is made from spackle and gauze, before painting it with watercolor and gouache. It’s a mere 2.5″ x 3.5″.
You can make the mind give you back anything you want, but remember the mind can give back only what it was first given. So fill your mind with all peaceful experiences possible, then make planned and deliberate excursions to them in memory.

When you expect the best, you release a magnetic force in your mind which by a law of attraction tends to bring the best to you.
Norman Vincent Peale
That is soooooo true! I believe that with all my heart! That may be one of the reasons I am so happy all the time. hehehe

If I am I because I am I
And you are you because you are you,
Then I am and you are.
But if I am I because you are you,
And you are you because I am I,
Then I am not and you are not.
Rabbi Mendel
