JOKES and POSITIVE THOUGHTS

Post by Jeni Babes »

HI, I thought i'd start a daily PMA or positive thought page...then when we have a low day we will be able to tap into a whole bundle of postitve thoughts on one thread! It doesn't need to be heavy just whatever you think helps you...affirmations...positive sayings...even jokes. What do you think?

Here's a starter...One of my dad's favourite sayings

"Optimists are right. So are pessimists. It's up to you to choose which you will be."


Your turn

Thanks to all those who have posted... they are good keep 'em coming....

My friend sent me this by e-mail today...


Strength and Courage

It takes strength to be certain,
It takes courage to have doubts.

It takes strength to fit in,
It takes courage to stand out.

It takes strength to share a friend's pain,
It takes courage to feel your own pain.

It takes strength to hide your own pain,
It takes courage to show it and deal with it.

It takes strength to stand guard,
It takes courage to let down your guard.

It takes strength to conquer,
It takes courage to surrender.

It takes strength to endure abuse,
It takes courage to stop it.

It takes strength to stand alone,
It takes courage to lean on a friend.

To all you strong and couragous women out there..
with love

Problems are just facts. It's our attitude towards them that makes us suffer or not.

Hi all

A friend gave me this, quite appropriate

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road your trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh.

When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with it's twists and turn,
As everyone of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succed with another blow.

Sucess is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;

So stick to the fight when your hardest hit,
It's when things seem worse, that you must not quit.

take care
clairx

Here's one from one of my groups on Building Self Esteem;

'You are what you believe you are'


It's like a self fulfilling prophecy, your body reacts to what your mind tells it. Hense the need for all that PMA.

keep up the PMA

Love
Jen

Hi all,

I am passing this on to you because it definitely worked for me. By following the simple advice I read in an article, I have finally found inner peace.
It read: "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've started".

So I looked around to see all the things I started and hadn't finished.
Today I have finished one bottle of gin, a bottle of red wine, a bottle of
vodka, my Prozac, a large box of chocolates and 2 packets of jaffa cakes.....

You have no idea how good I feel.
You may pass this on to those you feel are in need of inner peace.
Have a bl**dy marvellous day
.

LOVE
Jen
