Thought of the Day - Poverty and Happiness

Thought of the Day - Poverty and Happiness

Some people live in mud huts, others have palaces. But no amount of wealth can prevent depression or alter the inevitability of death. And true poverty is not an empty purse; it is an empty heart. Poverty does not create unhappiness any more than wealth creates joy. All that comes courtesy of comparison and expectation. We should not look at what anyone else is thinking, feeling, saying or doing! But look only at what's in our heart. Then we will see how to become truly happy and why our life is wonderfully blessed.

Joke Of The Day - Nutty Logic

Joke Of The Day - Nutty Logic

Two morons were working on a house. The one who was nailing down siding was always reaching into his nail pouch, pulling out a nail, and either tossing it over his shoulder or nailing it in. The other nut, figuring this was worth looking into, asked, "Why are you throwing those nails away?"

The first explained, "If I pull a nail out of my pouch and it's pointed toward me I throw it away 'cause it's defective. If it's pointed toward the house, then I nail it in."

With this, the second moron became extremely upset and yelled, "You idiot! The nails pointed toward you aren't defective! They're for the other side of the house!"

Thought of the day - Life without liberty is like a body without spirit

Thought of the day - Liberty

'Life without liberty is like a body without spirit.' Such quotations sound stirring but what is so great about liberty? Is not freedom of choice the very thing that leads to our own undoing? When we actually are at liberty to do as we please, do we not often waste our chance? Is the world not full of birds in cages where the door has been left open but the occupant is too frightened or unimaginative to fly out? Perhaps.

Joke Of The Day - Dream a Little Dream

Joke Of The Day - Dream a Little Dream

Cindy was taking an afternoon nap on New Year's Eve before the festivities. After she woke up, she said to her husband, "I just dreamed that you gave me a diamond ring for a New Year's present. What do you think it all means?"

"You'll know tonight," her husband replied, smiling broadly.

At midnight, as the bells were chiming, Cindy's husband approached her and handed Cindy a small package. Delighted and excited she opened it quickly. There in her hand rested a book entitled: The Meaning of Dreams.

Thought of the day - Mysteries

Thought of the Day - Mysteries

Sherlock Holmes has planted, in the mind of every would-be detective, the idea that all mysteries can eventually be solved. We forget that he is a fictional character and his exploits have been carefully engineered. We try to emulate him. We gather up our clues. We study our suspects. We weigh up motive and opportunity. But somehow we forget that real life is illogical. There is no sensible answer to the question we find ourselves contemplating. There is just a silly one. Accept that. It is still a good answer.

Joke of The Day - Nun The Better

Joke of The Day - Nun the Better

A man was brought to Mercy Hospital and taken quickly in for coronary surgery. The operation went well, and, as the groggy man regained consciousness, he was reassured by a Sister of Mercy who was waiting by his bed.

"Mr. Smith, you're going to be just fine," said the nun, gently patting his hand: "But we do need to know how you intend to pay for your stay here. Are you covered by insurance?"

"No, I'm not," the man whispered hoarsely.

"Can you pay in cash?" persisted the nun.

"I'm afraid I cannot, Sister."

"Well, do you have any close relatives?" the nun questioned sternly.

"Just my sister in New Mexico," he volunteered, "But she's a humble spinster nun."

"Oh, I must correct you, Mr. Smith. Nuns are not spinsters -- they are married to God."

"Wonderful," said Smith, "In that case, please send the bill to my brother-in-law."

Thought of the day - Forgiveness

Thought of the day - Forgiveness

Forgiveness is not meant to reward or soothe the one that needs forgiving. We may believe that by forgiving we'll somehow tell this individual that it's all okay, and that he or she is off the hook. But that's not the case. By forgiving, we can move on and move forward toward better things. It doesn't really matter what the other person thinks; it matters only that our choice makes life easier and better for us.
