This was a newsletter that I wrote in 2006, I believe, after I got back from a trip to Las Vegas. I met a really cool flight attendant who shared some wisdom with me. Here is the story…

============================

I was flying back from Las Vegas Sunday night. Our flight had been delayed an hour and a half and everyone was a little bit grumpy.

But then I met a flight attendant named Lorraine. Lorraine was a 60-something year old woman that made everyone on the plane laugh with her jokes and magic tricks. That’s right, I said magic tricks. I’ve never had a flight attendant perform magic before.

Anyway, she was full of positive energy and she also had these sheets of paper with words of wisdom and positive quotes and I asked her if I could keep them (don’t worry, she had several more copies). She gladly let me have them and wanted me to share them with as many people as I could.

This one is called Bad Hair Day

• If you woke up in the morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
• If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
• If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75 percent of this world.
• If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you are among the top 8 of the world’s wealthy.
• If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
• If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you and, furthermore, you are more blessed than over 2 billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

So, when you feel very down, just remember how blessed you are.

Each person is responsible for their own face! If you want to be happy YOU need to put a smile on it!

Thanks for sharing, Lorraine!

Yours in Health
