Words of Wisdom...

My mantra right now from my horoscope:  If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right. 
 
So true, right?  So simple.

This reminds me of something I heard recently at a funeral we attended for my ex-boss.  He was a great boss, and great leader, and a great friend.  He was a wonderful man, and his life was filled with great adventure, history and variety.  He had been an Air Force commander, involved with the Apollo missions, a rancher, an attorney, a father, a husband, and so much more...

He was a man of his word-ethical, fair, just and wise.  He was a smart man, but very down to earth, practical, and giving.

At his funeral, one of his daughters was talking about him, and included this...he always gave them two choices:

"You can do this."    OR
"You can do this and like it."


Of course, we all had quite a chuckle, but really...what a 
great parenting skill.  Teach your children that attitude can make all the difference.  You can do something, be crabby and downright depressed, or you can do it with a good attitude and see what a difference it makes!

This was also applied to food that they were served for dinner...

"You can eat this."   OR
"You can eat this a like it."

Ha!   I could use that with my youngest daughter, even yet!   (And she's an adult).

Anyway, words of wisdom....  let's all "do it and enjoy it"!!
