Every Man's 10 Commandments

I got this in an email as a forward and I just knew I had to share it. This is brilliant!

1) Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout.

2) So why is a car's WINDSHIELD is so large & the rear view mirror is so small? Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So, look ahead and move on.

3) Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write.

4) All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, they will not last forever. If going wrong, don't worry, they can't last long either.

5) Old friends are gold! New friends are diamond! If you get a diamond, don't forget the gold! Because to hold a diamond, you always need a base of gold!

6) Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says, "Relax,
sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!

7) When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.

8) A blind person asked St. Anthony: "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?" He replied: "Yes, losing your vision!"

9) When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.

10) WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES, it takes away today's PEACE.

Daily Projects in 2012

During my annual Christmas celebration with my dad's side of my family, I was having a talk with my younger cousin. We began talking about apps for our cell phones, and suddenly the topic changed to cool websites. She told me about pinterest.com. It's a website where you can make boards that are filled with ideas such as dream home ideas, recipe ideas, do it yourself ideas, or fitness ideas. The list goes on and on as to what type of board a person creates. Each pin is linked to a website and it is essentially a unique way to gain ideas from all over the internet. These boards that a user creates can serve as a visual "favorites" storage space. The website is quite useful. In the two weeks I've known of the website, I discovered two very unique ideas to capture my year.

The first idea is to create a booklet of 365 things I am thankful for. I'm sure most of the things I pick will somehow tie into my day. I'm anxious to put this together and look forward to looking back at it when it's finished.


The second idea is to create note cards for each individual day of the year. On the note cards, I will put one thing I did that day. This is something I want to keep up so I will be able to look back at January 2nd and see what I did in 2012, 2013, 2014, and so on. This will be a project I continue forever and I feel it will be unique to look back on once two or three years pass. It will be even more neat to look back at in 10 or 15 years.
