A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The first morning, while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees the neighbor hang up the wash outside.
“That laundry is not very clean,” she said, “she doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs another laundry soap.”
The husband looked on, but remained silent.
Every time her neighbor would hang out the wash, the young woman would make the same comment.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband,
“Look! She has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?”
Her husband said, “I got up early this morning and washed the windows.”
So, is this what I will have to do from now on? Sitting there, talking about my life, looking at my past like Meryl Streep in the movie Defending your life and being judged by hmmm, well by whom?
Please, don’t take me (too) serious…or wait, maybe you should!
Here are some questions. You don’t have to actually answer them, just ponder on them. Give it a try and let’s see how you do!

Yes, there is something I always wanted to do. I have one big dream left, I would like to open a restaurant, but a different kind of restaurant…
The rumor that former smokers become the worst non-smokers is true after all and I am the living proof. Let’s face it; I am the most annoying ex-smoker in the making.
Can somebody please print some flyers and let me stand on a street corner?
It touched my soul, it hit home…it is me, I am one of you…we are one!
For the lost and found…
A message of hope!

More and more of us go to bed too late because of sleep procrastination. What are the nighttime rituals that keep you up before finally dozing off?
As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”
The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.
