Toss on your drool-ready bib and head to BestWeekEver for all the Skaaaarsgard you can handle.
This makes me miss True Blood. Sigh
I just had an extremely terrible meeting at work. For all that know me, I’m generally a positive person but I felt very negative and angry afterwards. Not going to lie, I wanted to punch a couple of people…. Then, I got a chain mail from my co-worker with the following story:
“A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”
The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.” I wrote: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”
Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people that they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?
Moral of the Story:
Be thankful for what you have.. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.
“Faith is not about everything turning out OK; Faith is about being OK no matter how things turn out.”
I should not let negative people and negative actions get to me. Especially because I have so much more to be thankful for :)
I could watch this all day.
This was definitely my cry of the day. =( Good thing nobody’s in the office right now.

“I think that my marriage had something to do with it. Trying to pretend the marriage was something that it wasn’t,”
”One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mum. She is such a great mum. Oh, man, I’m so happy to have her.”

I feel like it’s so unnecessary to say that now! Kind of mean if you ask me.
