Tip Of The Month

Staying Strong...
There is a lot going on in the world today and a lot of it is negative. It’s time to “stand strong and stay strong”.

Too many people are going through really difficult times. I belong to a business group and an associate of mine, who is a mortician, just announced at a business meeting the other day that suicide rates are up. Maybe all of us should reach out and help those that are having difficult times with whatever help we can offer. This should not be happening. Not now, not ever!

If you are going through something that is too much for you to handle alone please reach out. There are numerous people and places that can and will help. When you see someone having a bad day, don’t turn away. Even if all you can offer is a smile, it will make a difference. Rather than getting short with someone, a waiter in a restaurant, a checker at the supermarket, or someone in your family, show some patience. Realize that they are trying the best they can.

Because of the economic slow down people are taking on second jobs or in some instances changing careers. Maybe they are not best suited for this new job. Give them a chance.

At least they are out there trying to make a living. Many people are not getting the support they need. We are all carrying a large load. Making a small difference by sharing a smile with a stranger can’t hurt. Share a hug with someone who needs it. Be more patient with others… and even yourself.

I would love to hear my friend, the mortician say, “business is down and that’s a good thing”. 

Staying in touch,
Tana
