Dear Lord,So far today, I am doing all right. I have not gossiped, lost my temper, been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or self-indulgent. I have not whined, cursed or eaten any chocolate. However, I am going to get out of bed in a few minutes, and I will need a lot more help after that. Amen.

So if you want to enjoy mostly pleasant interactions with people as you go through you day, treat others well. While it will not work 100% of the time (there are still cranks), I have discovered that our positive attitude toward others can encourage them to have a positive attitude toward you.

Attitude is something that you don’t think about unless of course you run into someone that has a bad attitude, at the grocery store, at work or gasp, church. Our attitude is one of those intangible things that we ourselves don’t think about but those who live with us or work with us know an awful lot about it.

I hate being sick. The runny nose, the coughing, the sneezing, the fever, and the chills. You know what I am talking about.  I have noticed since I have kids and since my wife works in an elementary school, there are all kinds of “bugs” that get brought home. And as careful I can be washing my hands and disinfecting everything when they are contagious there are still times when I “catch” what they have and get sick.
