Its all about attitude~~~

I was feeling down yesterday after not being able to get my chemo....AGAIN due to low counts, and a friend sent me this....it really hit home




There once was a woman who woke up one morning,
looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
'Well,' she said, 'I think I'll braid my hair today.'
So she did and she had a wonderful day


The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror
and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.
'H-M-M,' she said, 'I think I'll part my hair down the middle today.'
So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed
that she had only one hair on her head.
'Well,' she said, 'today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail.'
So she did, and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and
noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head
'YAY!' she exclaimed 'I don't have to fix my hair today!'

Attitude is everything
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.. Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly, and pray continually

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass It's about learning to dance in the rain. It's not what you gather, but what you scatter, that tells what kind of life you have lived. Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
Love the people who treat you right and pray for the ones who don't.
