Jack’s Winning Words 10/28/22

“RULES OF LIFE: Let it be – Ignore them – Give it time – Don’t complain – Stay calm – Smile”  (Meriam Bellina)  I sometimes find surprises when I search for information about WWs.  For example, Who is Meriam Bellina?  She was born in West Java and dropped out of high school to become a model and singer.  Look at today’s Rules of Life!  Can you imagine them as being written by a “Sex Bomb,” But they were – and one of her most famous songs is: One Day at a Time Sweet Jesus.”  I’ll add another rule: Don’t be so quick to judge.”  OOPS!  Meriam already has listed that:  “Give it time.”  How about you?  Do you have any rules to add-- rules that have made your life better?  ;-)  Jack

FROM JOE ANN:  Just relax! Listen first-talk second. Sing everyday!Laugh everyday! =-==JACK:  Those are good rules, too.  Meriam would like...Sing every day.  I always try to begin the day with a song.  One that I especially like is: Roll out of bed in the mornin' with a great bog smile and a good, good mormin'......

FROM MAGGIE:  A rule I’ve learned is be willing to apologize…===JACK:  Do you ever apologize when you know that you are right and "they" are wrong?

FROM SHARIN'  SHARON:  A psychiatrist advised me 25 years ago—try to stay around positive people and get some exercise every day, it will help you sleep better.  Enjoyed Meriam’s advice too.===JACK:  Do you remember the character from L'le Abner, Joe Btfsplk, the guy with a black cloud over his head?  Stay away from people like that.

FROM DAZ IN COLORADO:   Don't Complain is interesting advice. I keep getting a card on the Dining room table here that says +tell us about the dining experience which includes rating the food. Do they really want to know when the meat is tough  and the vegetables cold. Is that complaining or feedback. ===JACK:  Just for fun, try writing something about the the food.  "Were those potatoes Idaho Russets, or were they from Maine?  The meatloaf you served was just like mom used to make.  She'd get her hamburger especially ground at Wenzel's Butcher Shop. in Milwaukee.  Have you ever been to Milwaukee and seen  and bought meat at Wenzel's?  Milwaukee is famous for beer, but I don't think that they'd let you serve it here.  If they did, I give the meal a 5 star rating."  How do y0ou thing the people in the kitchen wouyld like what you wrote?
