I WAS THINKING…
when I was growing up it was an unwritten fashion rule not to wear white after Labor Day. And I don’t think I did. When I think about it today, it makes me chuckle how we catered to such thinking. Fashion has changed. I mean, think about it, if wearing jeans with big holes in the knees is the latest fashion, why should anyone feel uncomfortable wearing beautiful white slacks or white shoes.

BRIGHT IDEAS

Postage stamps stuck together? Put in the freezer for 15 or 20 minutes.
Keep lamps or clocks off the top of a color TV. Electrical appliances can disturb the color balance.
To clear a steamy bathroom in a hurry, turn on the cold-water full force.
To keep a prescription label clear and readable, paint with clear nail polish.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
If you want to hear the sound of a bird, don’t buy a cage, plant a tree.
Attitude is the difference between ordeal and adventure .
It’s better to look back on life and say “I can’t believe I did that” than to say “ I wish I did that”.
THIS I’VE LEARNED
When we’re not satisfied with a maintenance or service that someone did for us, it feels like the right thing to do is tell them about it. But too often when we are satisfied or feel someone did a great job, we don’t think to tell them. Of course, we love it when someone shows us appreciation. Perhaps we need to be more sensitive to the opportunity to do the same. Think about it.
