Children Learn What They Live

Children Learn What They Live
By Dorothy Law Nolte, Ph.D.

If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.
If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.
If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.
If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect.
If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them.
If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.

The Beauty Of A Woman

Title of picture: "Through The Looking Glass" by artist Irina Garmashova

The Beauty of a Woman

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears.

The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes,

Because that is the doorway to her heart,

The place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole.

But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives,

The passion that she shows.

The beauty of a woman

With passing years ---

Only grows.

...and the Prince lived happily ever after.

And as they rode off into the sunset,

the prince promised her his love, his riches and his castle in the clouds if only she would be his.

She agreed.  Later, after the wedding, they discussed the running of the kingdom.

"The King, my father, is old and my blessed mother, the Queen, has long been gone and the castle is

 in terrible disarray," explained the Prince.  "It needs the hand of a fine woman like yourself to

 straighten its many rooms and dust its many nooks and light its many fires and clean its many

 chimneys and sweep its many corridors and feed its many occupants and visitors.

Then, we shall have many sons so that they may run the kingdom long after I am gone.  I can only

hope that when they come of age, they will be as lucky as I in finding a good wife."  And with

that, they kissed and the Prince lived happily ever after.

How to Bathe a Cat

1.  Thoroughly clean the toilet.

2.  Add the required amount of shampoo to the toilet water, and have both lids lifted.

3.  Obtain the cat and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom. 
A  lavender scented candle, in the bathroom, promotes a tranquil atmosphere to some cats.  

4.  In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids.......(You may need
to stand on the lid so that he cannot escape).

5.  Flush the toilet three or four times.  This provides a "powerwash and rinse effect".

6.  Have someone open the door to the outside and ensure that there are no people between

the toilet and the door leading to the outside.

7.  Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids at the same time.

8.  The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet and run outside where he will dry himself.

Man's best friend

Capricious

First, he said he liked independent women,

so I played it cool...

Then, he said he liked romantic women,

so I played it hot...

Then, he said he liked passive women,

so I played it weak...

Then, he said he liked strong women, not fragile,

so I crushed his head!
