but her next words let me off the hook.
"You put that money back!" she said indignantly. "The tooth fairy left that for me!"

accomplishing this.

You can only handle one at a time anyway.

For they make very poor bedfellows.
6. Thou shall not borrow other people's problems.

or ill, it is forever gone. Concentrate of what is

you listen do you hear ideas different from your

you are talking, and some people do know more
than you do.
9. Thou shall not become "bogged down" by
frustration, for 90% of it is rooted in self-pity and
will only interfere with positive action.
10. Thou shall count thy blessings, never
overlooking the small ones, for a lot of small
blessings add up to a big one.
