'n About
with Martha
This morning, Monday, it is cold, windy
and thundering. There have been a lot of
rumblings but after I poke my head outside
to listen, I find the big trucks are rumbling
along Oxford Street and making all those
worrying rumblings. How's that for worry-
ing about rumblings. I was sure it was
thunderings!
Well! That's a good start - now you know
what to expect.
I enjoyed our nice sunshine last week and
I will try to think of it when I'm plodding
knee deep in white stuff which I'm afraid is
threatening.
On t.v. they are talking - at this moment -
about colds and flu. Colds are caught from
germs in the air and those you pick up on
your hands. "do as your mother always told
you, smother the sneeze - or cough and wash
your hands."
I think we are all very careless about this -
especially the hand washing after sneezing
all over them. Think about it. It jars me
when I see a waitress obviously fighting a
cold - cough or sneeze - then carry on with
her work!
__BIRTHDAY CLU
This "wash your hands" bit - made me
think of the list of "ways to peace and hap-
piness" that I seem to come across - often -
it helps me lose the grumps and I'm passing
a few on to you.
Read this one every day: Just for today: I
will be happy. As Lincoln once said - "Most
folks are about as happy as they -'make up
their minds to be."
I will try to adjust myself to my family
and luck and fit me to them.
I will try to not be a mental loafer.
Readiri', riting and - (- I can't say 'rithmetic
'cause I hate it) whenever needed.
I'll try to learn useful things, bring a smile
to others, help wherever possible and try not
to improve anyone. So help me!
I will try to live each day as it comes - not
tackle six month's problems in one short
week!
I will be unafraid to be happy, to enjoy the
beautiful, to love - and believe those I love,
love me!
Let's remember - be yourself, teach the
_young ones respect and discipline so you can
the proud of them and they of you - it must
start at home.
On top of that - count your blessings, not
your troubles, find yourself - be yourself.
Lest you forget - we can't hope to be perfect
so ask for constructive criticism, then use it.
Read more. Rest more - take a few odd
moments here and there. Work in a comfor-
table position - tension produces aching
shoulders or nervous fatigue. It's true. If
you are overtired at the end of the day, it is
because of the mental work you've done - or
• .perhaps the way you've done it. •
Keep a scrapbook of your favorite poems,
quotes, sayings, and short prayers to read
when you feel down.
Do things in order of importance - you
won't believe all the things that I've left un-
done! But carry on - one of these days - one
of these days - you'll look back and there
they are - still not done! Big sigh! That's the
way I am. I work, worry, rush around, dig in
and do a heck of a lot in a short tjine - then
fall apart.
So how is your day? Just do as much as
you can - give it your best and that is good.
Relax - enjoy your favorite t.v. program.
You'll find there are a lot of good programs -
and nice old movies or exciting game shows
going on - and have been going on for years!
Take it easy, arrange for .those cold out-
doors trips. You either love them or dread
them.
Re your age and you will enjoy the days.
Love, Martha.
