Drive Careful

4:41 PM Posted by Linda Henson , , , , , ,
  Here's a story. People were tired of cars speeding through their neighborhood. They put up signs that said, "Drive Like Your Kids Live Here." Nothing changed. Then someone put up a sign that said, "Drive Like Your Pet Lives here." Worked like a charm.

Beautiful Picture

4:57 PM Posted by Linda Henson , , , , , , ,
    It had been a dark day, but sometime in the late afternoon the clouds parted and a little brightness came through. I looked up at these bare, tall trees and felt a sense of delight. The trees looked as if they had been painted with sunlight. You can find a little joy in the small things, but your heart has to be open to it.

Selfish

5:14 PM Posted by Linda Henson , ,
  I saw a small group of pigeons eating popcorn someone had dumped on the sidewalk. There was one pigeon that didn't want to share. It was his popcorn. No one else could have any. He would
peck at a pigeon and make him stopped eating. Behind His back, the other pigeons ate away.
He would turn and stopped them. Every time his back was turned, the other pigeons ate. He was so busy trying to keep his pals from sharing his popcorn, he never got a bite. All the others were content. He never was and he went hungry. In the long run, selfishness just doesn't pay.
