Thoughts from Stick a Geranium in Your Hat and Be Happy!

Today I thought I would share just a few simple thoughts I've found in "Stick a Geranium in Your Hat and Be Happy" by Barbera Johnson. I haven't read the entire book yet but some of these extra thoughts at the end of her chapters really stick with me!

RESOLUTIONS  FOR AVOIDING MISERY

Choose to love- rather than hate.

Choose to smile- rather than frown.

Choose to build- rather than destroy.

Choose to persevere- rather than quit.

Choose to praise- rather than gossip.

Choose to heal- rather than wound.

Choose to give- rather than grasp.

Choose to act- rather than delay.

Choose to forgive- rather than curse.

Choose to pray- rather than despair.

Life is easier than you think-

All you have to do is:

Accept the impossible,

Do without the indispensable,

Bear the intolerable

and

Be able to smile at anything.

TRUE UNDERSTANDING

We do not understand:

Joy... until we face sorrow,

Faith... until it is tested,

Peace... until faced with conflict,

Trust... until we are betrayed,

Love... until it is lost,

Hope... until confronted with doubts.
