a message in a paper towel..


I was upset & crying one day last week.  You know another one of those same old arguements.  I threw away all my knowledge of al anon & the 12 steps for the moment, or more like the day.  Anyway, like I said, I was crying & grabbed a paper towel.  On the paper towel it said,


"We can't control the wind,.....


               ......but we can adjust our sails."


It sure made me think, especially since I've never noticed that on the paper towel before?!

De anna,

Funny when I'm full of myself or maybe her, lol, I seem to miss things like this as I seem to be wrapped up in them and that is all I can see. It may sound like worn out old saying "stop and smell roses", but seems life seems better when we can clear the tunnel we seem to look thru and realize the great things around us that we can choose to be a part of if we open our eyes and minds.

Thanks great post

MArk S
