Monday Coffee Talk

Good Monday morning everyone!  I know you are up, enjoying the day already and loving life.  Today, something good is going to happen to you.  I just know it.  Don't you love this chilly weather and the time change?  I do.  Even though it gets darker earlier, I still love it. 

Our challenge for today has a moral to it.  Enjoy this........it is our challenge and our "moral" for today. 

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a
well that he had left open.    The animal cried piteously for hours as
the farmer tried to figure out what to do. 


FInally, he decided the animal was old, and the
well needed to be covered up anyway; 
it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and 
help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began
to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the
donkey realized what was happening and cried
horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he
quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally 
looked down the well. He was astonished at what
he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his
back, the donkey was doing something amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel 
dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it
off and take a step up.

Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey
stepped up over the edge of the well and
happily trotted off! 
*****
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds 
of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well
is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of
our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out
of the deepest wells just by not stopping,
never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up. 

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.

Free your mind from worries - Most never happen..

Live simply and appreciate what you have. 

Give more.

Expect less 

NOW ........ 

Enough of that! The donkey later came back, 
and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him. 
The gash from the bite got infected and 
the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock. 
  
MORAL FROM TODAY'S LESSON:

When you do something wrong, and try to cover
your back side, it always comes back to bite you.

Hey Randall,

Great coffee talk.  I skipped coffee today and opted for protein shake instead. Not a popular choice for me but, one I felt I needed to make today.

Great lesson today brother--I needed that cause I've been in some big holes in my life and still find myself there sometimes.
