Friday Hugs

 Sending out hugs on this fantastic Friday!!!!!  You all have an awesome day today.  I love ya!!!! 

(This was sent to me in my e-mail.  It made me think.)


One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in
the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in
front of us. 

My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just
inches!  The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling
at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.  And I mean, he was
really friendly.

So I asked, "Why did you just do that?  That guy almost ruined your car and sent
us to the hospital!"

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, "The Law of the Garbage
Truck."

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks.  They run around full of
garbage -- frustration, anger, disappointment.  As their garbage piles up, they
need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. 

Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. 

Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on
the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over
their day.  Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't.

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

Another great one! I have not heard that before but it makes a lot of sense, why let someone else decide what kind of day we are going to have.
Thanks Carmen!
