YOU GOTTA LAUGH

The other person is blind.

The other person is deaf.
The other person is difficult.

The other person breaks things.

The other person wrecks things.

The other person is demanding.

Then the other person just walks out -

nothing hits him and you’re just

stuck with the mess. Sorry this

is just way it is: so you better

learn how to laugh - because

this is way it is - sometimes.

Thought for today: 

“Fortunately  psycho]analysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts.  Life itself still remains a very effective therapist.” 

Karen Horney in Our Inner Conflicts [1925]

Thought for today: 

“Life is a foreign  language; all men mispronounce it.” 

Christopher  Morley [1890-1957],  

Thunder on the Left, [1925], chapter 14.

IF ALL WERE BLIND

If all were blind,  what would life be like?

Would marriages  be better?

Would prejudices take on newer forms?

Would fat people have different inner self-talk?

Would theology or God-talk be different?

What would wars be like?

If all were blind, what would life be like?

YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET

 WHAT YOU WANT!

You can’t always get 

what you want - but 

it's better to keep trying. 

Sometimes the menu 

doesn’t have what 

it says it has…. 

Sometimes the other person 

just doesn’t do what you 

thought they were going to do. 

Sometimes today doesn't 

turn out the way you thought 

today would turn out. 

But sometimes it does, so 
how are you doing with the way 
your day is going so far?

Thought for today: 

“There was so  much  handwriting on the wall /  That even the wall fell down.”  

Christopher Morley [1890-1957], 

Around the Clock  [1943]
