Lazy Rainy Day Advice

It has been raining all morning and according to the meteorologist it is supposed to continue all day.  I was productive this morning but now after lunch I hit a wall.  As Claire was napping I was sitting around even though I should have been taking advantage of my alone time and been cleaning.  Instead I was wasting time on Facebook and happened to come across a friend’s shared link that talked about wise advice from an old farmer.

I thought it was cute and great advice.  So here are a few of the things the old farmer advised:

·         Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.

·         Words that soak into your ears are whispered….not yelled.

·         Forgive your enemies.

·         Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.

·         You cannot unsay a cruel word.

·         When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

·         Remember silence is sometimes the best answer.

·         Don’t interfere with something that isn’t bothering you.

·         If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing you need to do is stop digging.

·         If you get to thinking you are a person of some influence, try ordering someone else’s dog around.

And my favorite:

·         Live simply.  Love generously.  Care deeply.

So even though I thought I wasn’t being productive this rainy afternoon I do enjoy coming across things like this.  I love these short bullet points that make me stop and think!
