Put Your Phone Away

It's okay to put your phone away.

While in Italy, on the chair lift at Mount Solaro, Anacapri, I couldn’t help but notice people who had no interest in the beauty around them mostly because they were looking at their cell phone.

I found it sad.

It’s okay to see the beauty around you. Put the phone away.

Losing Your Top

Losing your top never makes you look cool

I heard once that if you wanted to help yourself control your anger you should, once the anger begins to build, image how you look getting angry. Even better would be to have a video of yourself during the complete transition from calm to angry because that would show you exactly how silly you look.

While some folks may think this car looks cool, with no windshield imaging the bugs in your face as you drive. Not so cool now, is it? Kinda of like when you get angry.

Bad Hair Day

Smile Even if you are having a Bad Hair Day

There are things out of your control, and, at times, one of those things might just be your hair. You are having a bad hair day.

Don’t let it get you down, tomorrow is a new day, and suddenly your bad hair day will be a memory.

It’s Okay to Rest

It's Okay to Rest. Even Nature Gets Tired.

When I came across this tree, it was near the end of a rolling hike, about 3/4 of a mile up, and I was tired. I mentioned to my wife, “Look, that tree is tired, too.”

While I understand the tree just grew that way, to me, at the time, it just looked the tree needed a rest, much like I did.

Stay Calm

Stay Calm Even if Things Are Bugging You

There will be times when everything around you seems to bug you. Stay calm, eventually you will get through the bugginess and back to calmness.

Take Your Time

Take your time.

Walking in Houston we came to a crosswalk. The light changed and the walk/don’t walk sign appeared to give an incredible amount of time for you to cross the street.

It was nice.

If you get a day when the craziness of life gives you a break, take your time with it and enjoy.
