Today I wanted to post this story my Aunt e-mailed me.
I've been thinking about it all day,
and think its a really good reminder.

And for me,
a NEW Christmas goal!!
(and hopefully a FOREVER goal)

So lets go!!
Its called...
*********************************
Law of the Garbage Truck

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.

So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!'
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so ... Love the people who treat you right, and don’t waste time hating the ones who don't.


Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!


Have a garbage-free day!

*******************************************
This story reminded me of Russ.
This is exactly what he does.
He waves at people when they do things
like cut him off.

It used to ANGER me when he waved.
I wanted him to yell and get mad,
cause that's what I do...

So as you read at the end it says
"Have a garbage-free day!"
Well I say, lets all have a
GARBAGE-FREE CHRISTMAS!!

And for me,
I'm gunna try to do this daily!!

Want to join me?

On that note, here's a fun picture...

How could you not be happy all the time
seeing this face?
Such a PRETTY, HAPPY BABY!!
