Words
Ah, but the joy in making someone smile.
Are you aware of the endorphins involved in healing the body with each laugh? Ah, the miracle of laughter.
I read a really good article today. Probably in the motivational catagory. It stated that we each choose whether we are going to have a good day, or if we are going to have a bad day.
When my 16 year old came home from school, and was rather b**chy and ugly as we took her to the pharmacy to get her prescription on the way home from her dr office visit...
She stated in no uncertain terms that her dad and I are boring. She would rather go home and preferred to NOT be with us old pharts. I figured though, it was her dr appointment, and her drug prescription.. so why should I do the rest of the dr visit in getting her drugs.
And then... and then I remembered the article or story that I had read earlier today about a man that made every day a happy day. He chose to have a happy and fullfilling day, rather than allow other people to control his time here on Earth.
So I turned the event around, and made it a pleasant ride, changed the subject, and made it a pleasant trip to the drug store.
I am also going to try my best at helping her to change her attitude and thoughts so she can enjoy her lot in life with a more vibrant attitude.
When she wakes up in the morning and prepares to go to school, I will ask her if she is going to have a good day, or if she is going to have a miserable day.
I'll let you know if I can turn this miserable life around for / with her. It really does hurt, I mean... the saying goes, 'sticks and stones break my bones, but words never hurt me.' Well, I'll tell you right now.... WORDS CAN KILL A PERSON. WORDS CAN BREAK A HEART. Espcially one that has chosen a child from the pits and gave her all she had to give.
I am going to have a great and wonderful day today. How about you? _________________ "What goes around, comes around" When it does, watch out!!!
