Ulcers and Fish



You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation. If you fall in a mud puddle,check your pockets for fish. -Author unknown

Oh, wouldn't it be nice to take this author's advice. To roll with the blows instead of meeting everything head on like a bulldozer.

You know what I'm talking about, you've had days like that.

One situation hits you in the face and you turn around and another situation broadsides you. By the time you catch your breath something else jumps out from behind the curtain.

On days like that the best thing to do is to soak in the tub, spend some time with God, climb into bed with a nice magazine and hope things are better tomorrow.

God bless you, Diane

How true, it's always at once too. Just for once I would like something to happen, not in threes!!!
When my Mom died, I went through a divorce, then my sister died.... it was a lot at once.
I am so glad you stopped by my blog, thank you.
It is always a pleasure to have company, it makes me feel so good, when I get home after a long day at work, to see all the comments!!! It 's nice!
