Neurosis Part II

I didn't include ALL of the text from my the self-help neuroses pamphlet. Compare with last post.

  1. You cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself. - Galileo
  2. The secret of success is one who does not try to please everyone.
  3. Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
  4. It's easier to stay thin than to lose weight.
  5. Imaginary worries are the hardest fears to overcome.
  6. The safest gamble in life is to take a chance on yourself.
  7. A man's own self is his friend. A man's own self is his foe.
  8. He who angers you conquers you. - Elizabeth Keany
  9. Let me open myself to the knowledge of wisdom.
  10. He who finds understanding, finds knowledge.
  11. Creative minds flourish in a tranquil environmen.
  12. He who gains victory over liquor is strong, but he who gains victory over himself is powerful.
  13. It is better to travel hopefully, than to arrive.
  14. The breadth of personal power is awesome. Today will be what I choose to make it. No more and no less.

    I should have thought of that years ago... it is easier to stay thin than loose weight. Darn.

    I love #11 because I -- that tricycle is not allowed in the house young man, and put on some pants! What's in your mouth? Spit that out now. Now! No, do not put that on the dog. Daisy go get in your bed. Hello? Hey, can I call you back? OK bye. Show me your good behavior please. Bob? Where are mama's keys? Well how did they get in her water bowl exactly? -- alright, sorry about that, what was I saying?

    Lisa's comment is awesome!

    I love the saying ~He who angers you conquers you.~ How true, I need to keep this one in my memory banks.

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14.

Wordful Wednesday and Clever Much? Rarely!

Sometimes my brilliance blinds me! Speaking of brilliance, before we continue this discussion, if you are my mother in law, stop reading. Walk away. At least until after Christmas. Seriously. My own mother doesn't read my blog. I think it has something to do with words like "socially awkward" and "mortifying." She knows me. She doesn't have to read about me. She can just pretend like I turned out normal. Anyway, if the mother-in-law has exited the website, check out what she's getting for Christmas! TADA! I'd like to give a special shout out to the internet and whatever site I was cruising through last week for planting this idea into my head. Usually not this creative and I definitely don't know where I got the energy to take the kids out for pictures. Or go to Walmart for the frame. And Robert's for the mat. Costco for the pictures.  Yeah, I painted the frame, too. So not my style. Anymore. I also ordered a canvas print for my husband but I...
