Something to share

A woman from church recently passed away after a long and difficult battle with cancer. Our Relief Society printed one of her favorite poems on the back of the monthly newsletter. I LOVED this poem because sometimes I find myself with a terrible attitude and I need to be reminded to adjust it. The author is unknown, so unfortunately I have no where to place the credit. Anyway, I just wanted to share...

There once was a woman who woke
up one morning,
looked in the mirror
and noticed she
had only three hairs
on her head.

"Well", she said, "I think I'll braid my
hair today."
So she did and she had
a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up,
looked in the mirror,
and saw that she
had only two hairs
on her head.

"Hmm", she said, "I think I'll part my
hair down the middle today."
So she did and
she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up,
looked in the mirror,
and noticed that she
had only one hair
on her head.

"Well", she said, "Today I'm going to
wear my hair in a pony tail."
So she did and
she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up,
looked in the mirror,
and noticed there wasn't
a single hair
on her head.

"Yea!" she exclaimed,
I don't have to
fix my hair today!"

Attitude is everything.
Be kinder than necessary,
for everyone you meet is
fighting some kind of battle.

Live simply,
love generously,
care deeply,
speak kindly...
leave the rest to God.

Life isn't about waiting
for the storm to pass...
It's about learning
to dance in the rain.
