Conquer Your Craving for New Shoes

I cried because I had no shoes, then I met a man who had no feet.

This quotation may be a Persian proverb taken from a collection of ancient poetry by Sadi, taken from a much longer passage:

I never complained of the vicissitudes of fortune, nor suffered my face to be overcast at the revolution of the heavens, except once, when my feet were bare, and I had not the means of obtaining shoes. I came to the chief of Kfah in a state of much dejection, and saw there a man who had no feet. I returned thanks to God and acknowledged his mercies, and endured my want of shoes with patience, and exclaimed,
“Roast fowl to him that’s sated will seem less
Upon the board than leaves of garden cress.
While, in the sight of helpless poverty,
Boiled turnip will a roasted pullet be.”
~SADI, The Gulistan, or Rose Garden

I understand that my desire may be trivial and superficial and that my problem is of small magnitude compared to the man with no feet. But I still want shoes.

Does that make me a bad person?

Giving Thanks

Thank you and happy Thanksgiving to you!

I have just completed a book called, Bliss to You, by Trixie Koontz. Trixie is Dean Koontz' golden retriever. Or she was, anyway. She has published 3 books. So far.

In this book, she describes 8 steps to bliss. I hope to summarize and review the book thoroughly some time in the future, but for now I will just discuss the last step. Number eight is Gratitude. Somehow it seems fitting to speak about gratitiude at this time of year.

I am grateful for many things. Things and people. I have a soft bed, a nice house, a comfortable reliable car, a full pantry, and lots of clothes. I have some good friends, a wonderful husband, a brilliant child, and a small but close family. I am thankful for all of you.

Thank you for the opportunity to express my gratitude.

Again, Happy Giving-Thanks Day!

Thank You for the Compliment

Yesterday someone told me I was funny.

Thank you.

I try to be amusing. Sometimes I try to be jocular or waggish, or even facetious (lightly amusing).

The day before someone compared me to Dave Barry.

Yes! Someone told me that Dave Barry is way more funny than I am!

Well, I take it as a compliment. Just to be in the same sentence is flattering!

Gratitude and Appreciation

Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday. There is nothing mysterious about it. It is simply a day to eat a large quantity of good, homemade food.

There are so many things to be grateful for. Today I am grateful for my family, my friends and my job. I make it a point every morning to say a prayer to express thanks for another wonderful day, working with wonderful people and earning a wonderful income.

Thank you for reading! You have my Gratitude and Appreciation.

Happy Thanksgiving!
