A Friend/Delight in the Little Things

[Guest guest]

A FRIEND

A friend is someone to behold,

To laugh with and chat with,

when warm or cold,

Someone to comfort you

when you're blue,

To talk about the old and new

One has many acquaintances in life,

But when there is sorrow or strife,

A friend is someone who will understand,

To lend an ear or a helping hand.

It matters not where you are,

Whether you are near or far,

Around the world or across the street,

A friend is someone we like to meet.

So when life's

little troubles get you down,

Try to smile, do not frown,

Turn on the computer,

or pick up the phone,

With friends, you are never alone.

Delight In The Little Things

Make a point to delight in every little thing. The more things you consider to

be a reason for joy, the more joyful you will be.A few things are so

overwhelmingly positive or so completely negative as to not need any judgment on

your part. All the other things, though, depend largely on how you see them.

If you see something as a curse it will be a curse. If you see it as a blessing

it will indeed be a blessing for you. Don't allow others to poison your attitude

with their complaints and their gloomy pessimism. Be aggressively and

proactively positive.

Find delight in the little things. And you'll be pleasantly surprised at how

delightful the big things turn out to be, too.
