When the ice-maker on our refrigerator broke, my husband dropped by the local hardware to find the part. Because the sun was so bright that day and the interior of the store was dark, his eyes hadn't quite adjusted when he walked in. He accidentally stepped on the foot of a woman examining some samples. She screamed, causing my husband to jump sideways into a display of fireplace tools that went crashing in every direction. Unnerved, he stumbled over to the service desk, and as he put his hands on the counter, he flipped over a bowl of marbles, scattering them everywhere.

After taking a deep breath to calm himself, he announced to the wide-eyed woman working there, "My refrigerator doesn't work."

She replied, simply, "I don't doubt it."

Ever have those days? When you do you might just as well let them happen.

Those are the days when you relax, take it easy, make no plans to accomplish anything. It seems strange but every once in a long while those kinds of days do strike. That's when you just have to laugh at yourself and have fun with it.

Yet it brings to our attention the law "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." or "The chickens you send out are the chickens that come home again." or "What goes around, comes around."

Every time we perform an action we are telling the world who and what we are. Those who observe, form judgments. So it behooves us to consider our actions before we take them. When we keep the "law" in mind we can act in ways that will bring to us the life we want. It is good to know these laws.

Still, we will all be a clutz once in a while and laughter takes away the sting.

I once had a man tell me that our chief responsibility was to be happy. He knew that when one is happy he/she is spreading good tidings. That enacts the law in your favor and life can be good.

One more thing associated with this topic is the observation of Ralph Waldo Emerson; "Your actions speak so loudly that what you say to the contrary I cannot hear." Consider that. Watch others and watch what they do as compared to what they say. Watch yourself and keep away from that trap. Do as you say. In other words BE the person you SAY you are.

Life gets better when you understand that ...

For Every Action ...
