The Lesser Evil





"Never open

the door

to the

lesser evil,

for other

and

greater ones

invariably

slink in

after it." ~ Baltasar Gracian


One bad habit leads to another, a little white lie

becomes a black hole of insanity, a borrowed minute

becomes hours of idle wasted time, a quick cheat

becomes an affair that wrecks many lives.

Lying, cheating, or stealing are the Devils handiwork

and the price to pay is shame, guilt and remorse.

Today, be a good sentinal of your door and let in

only the kind, the loving, the patient and tolerant

the happy, joyous and free .

Today, start with an attitude of gratitude, maintain

a constant contact with your Higher Power, and

seek to do the will of the God of your understanding

and know that the rewards are sobriety, serenity,

and peace of mind.

Happiness is not letting the lesser evil in the door.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

Dying Mind





"A

closed

mind

is a

dying

mind."

~ Edna Ferber


Honesty, Open-minded and Willing to change

are the keys to a life that is happy, joyous and free.

HOW you look at things is

HOW they will look back at you.

A closed mind will miss all the fun.

A closed mind will grow stale and moldy

inside the box.

We will all die soon enough, why should

you die mentally before your time is up.

Today, as long as the package comes wrapped in love,

be willing to open the gift of knowledge and do your

best to make this world a better place.

Today, know that your open mind will see God smile.

Happiness is having an open mind.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

ME and the Boss
