A BRIEF WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR

MEMO FROM YOUR MOTHER

I am the Great Mother Goddess.

Today I will be handling
all of your problems.

Please remember that
I do not need your help.

If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle,
do not attempt to resolve it.

Kindly put it in the SFHTD
(something for Her to do) box.

All situations will be resolved,
but in My time, not yours.

Once the matter is placed into the box,
do not hold onto it by worrying about it.

Instead, focus on all the wonderful things
that are present in your life now.

If you find yourself stuck in traffic;
Don't despair.
There are people in this world for whom
driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work;
Think of the man who has been out of work for years.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad;
Think of the person who has never known
what it's like to love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend;
Think of the woman in dire straits,
working twelve hours a day,
seven days a week to feed her children.

Should your car break down,
leaving you miles away from assistance;
Think of the paraplegic
who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror;
Think of the cancer patient in chemo
who wishes she had hair to examine.

Should you find yourself
at a loss and pondering
what is life all about,
asking what is my purpose?

Be thankful.
There are those who
didn't live long enough
to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself
the victim of other people's
bitterness, ignorance,
smallness or insecurities;
Remember, things could be worse.
You could be one of them!

Should you decide
to share this with a friend;
Thank you, you may have touched their life
in ways you will never know!
