Ben went to the groomer yesterday. He is so darn cute when he comes home, and his groomer said he was especially well behaved yesterday. Gotta ya! You thought I was going to write an entire post about Ben's trip to the groomer didn't ya? Or maybe that I was going to go into all the great reasons to bring a pet into your life this Christmas (since I used the words gift idea above)? Wrong again...
Ben brought a present home from his groomer. It was a little bag filled with a bunch of different things. My youngest said it looked like the groomer had gone around and picked up different things from her office and put them in the bag. I ask her what the tied up note inside the bag said. Of course she had not read it, you know how kids are they NEVER read the cards first, or who a gift is from. Below is what the note said, and I thought it was special enough to share with all of my blog friends:
Everyday Survival Kit
Toothpick - to remind you to pick out the good qualities in others.
Rubber band - to remind you to be flexible; thing might not always go the way you want, but
it will work out.
Band Aid - to remind you to heal hurt feelings, your or someone else's.
Pencil - to remind you to list your blessings every day.
Eraser - to remind you that everyone makes mistakes and it's okay!
Chewing Gum - to remind you to stick with it and you can accomplish anything.
Candy Kiss - to remind you that everyone needs a kiss or a hug every day.
Tea Bag - to remind you to relax daily and go over that list of blessings.
To the world, you may just be somebody...but to somebody, you may be the world.
Isn't that wonderful? I couldn't figure out a way to send you the things in the package, but I am sharing the thoughts behind the items that you might use them to make your world and the world around you a better place, and that you might pass them along to others that they might gain the same benefit. Merry Christmas!
