My Personal Thoughts

Everyone has an invisible bucket. We are at our

best when our buckets are overflowing and at our worst when they are

empty.Everyone also has an

invisible dipper. In each interaction, we can use

our dipper either to fill or to dip from others’

buckets. Whenever we choose to fill others’ buckets, we in turn

fill our own.

Life’s not about waiting for the storms to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.

Results of Full Buckets?

Life will bring us pain all by itself. It is our responsibility to create joy, not only for ourselves, but for others!

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. So…… Create some joy and “unwrap” your gratitude TODAY!!!! And then, start dancing!
