#102-Thoughts on Reminders

The events in life are somehow interconnected. Try to find one that does not remind you of another.

When I remember to do something, I thank God for the reminder and I do it right away.

If you do it as soon as the good Lord reminds you about it you will never forget to do anything.

Go ahead, use your common sense; it is not a depletable resource.

Some people use common sense like money; they are keeping it for a rainy day.

Caution and common sense are faithful friends – if you "throw caution to the wind," common sense goes with it.

#107-Thoughts on Spouse

Strive to have your spouse fighting for you instead of against you.

The higher you push up your spouse, the higher you will be. You will go up together as you push him/her up.

Your spouse is the most qualified person in the world to give you advice. Why? Your spouse knows you and your needs, or should know you, better than anyone.

#106-Thoughts on Weddings

All fiancés "change" after the wedding – they get worse!

If your fiancé does not treat you as someone special now, don’t expect that to improve after the wedding.

A longer warranty period guarantees that fewer people will benefit from it.

#101-Thoughts on Pain

It is not easy to laugh when you are in pain but it is acceptable!

Pain is the medium the body uses to let us know that something is wrong.

When I experience pain I go to the doctor hoping for a solution. If one is not readily available the least I expect is help to determine the cause of the problem.

#100-Thoughts on Exercise

Older people who do not exercise have lots of aches and pains.

Fitness (exercise) should be taken like food: in small amounts two or three times each and every day.

A rich person is one who pays to exercise in a gym. A poor person is one who gets paid to exercise by doing the rich person's chores.

#099-Thoughts on Party

I am having a party today because I'm alive and you are here.

No two events are exactly alike. If you doubt this, have a party tonight and a second party tomorrow night. Then compare the two with these or similar questions: Did everyone from the first night show up on the second night? Were the music, weather, food, mood and emotions exactly the same?

---

I'm Alive

#098-Thoughts on Experts

An expert is someone who knows more about a subject than everybody else. How much more? As little as one percent will do.

#094-Thoughts on Results

Sex is a short-term activity with long-term results.

People pulling in different directions always produce tangible results: chaos and destruction.

An optimist is one who knows the difference between positive and negative. To a child preparing for a math test he says, "I'm expecting some positive results." To his doctor conducting a medical test he says, "I'm praying for some negative results."

#093-Thoughts on Hate

You cannot expect others to like you if you hate yourself.

Hate like love are emotions that cannot be verbalized. "I love you" is positive and "I hate you" is negative. They only produce internal feelings.
