Worrying does not take away tomorrow’s troubles.
It takes away today’s peace.

A little old lady owned a home beside the fifth fairway, and stray golf balls were always landing in her back yard. Instead of getting angry, she removed the fence along the boundary, invited the golfers onto her property, showed them where their ball was located, and encouraged them to take their next shot from that spot. Even when they missed and dug deep divots in her lawn, she would tell them to go ahead and take another swing.
A visitor, after witnessing her overly courteous behavior, couldn’t help but comment. “How come you let them tear up your yard like that?” the visitor asked, “and not only that, you encourage them.”
“I’m not as courteous as you think,” the old lady replied. “I’m planning on turning my yard into a garden, and I figure within
another month they’ll have it plowed for me.”

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak.
Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Two Newfies are walking down a street in Toronto, when they see a sign on a store that reads, “Suits $5.00 each, shirts $2.00 each, trousers $2.50 per pair.”
One Newfie says to his pal, “Looky here! We could buy a whole gob of these, take ’em back to St John’s , sell ’em to our friends, and make a fortune. Now when we go in there, you be quiet, okay? Just let me do the talkin’ cause if they hear your accent, they might think we’re from the Rock, and try to cheat us. Now, I’ll try to sound like we’re from Ontario .
So they go in and one of the Newfie says with his best Ontario accent, “I’ll take 50 of them suits at $5.00 each, 100 of them there shirts at $2.00 each, and 50 pairs of them there trousers at $2.50 each. I’ll back up my pickup and ….”
The owner of the shop interrupts, “You’re from Newfoundland , ain’t you?” ”
Well…yeah,” says a surprised Newfie. “How’d you know dat!”
“Because this is a dry-cleaners.”

So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key.

Little Debbie came running into the house after school one day, shouting, “Daddy! Daddy! I got
a 100 in school today!”
“That’s great, Sweetheart,” said her daddy. “Come in the living room and tell me about it.”
“Well,” began the confession, “I got 50 in spelling, 30 in math, and 20 in science…”
