Straight And Stiff

Young Timmy was in the garden pulling earthworms from the ground. Grandpa watched over Timmy playing in the sun and said “Timmy I bet you can’t put the worms back in their holes!” A defiant Timmy replied “I sure can grandpa”. And so young Timmy tried to push the worms back into their holes in the ground. But he found it impossible to do so as the worms were wriggling and were never straight enough for him to do so. After an hour of this Grandpa laughed and said as he went inside “If you do manage to push them in I will give you $10.”

Timmy was bright and he though and though and thought of a way to push the earthworms back into their holes. That evening he passed by his elder sisters room and thought of an idea! The next morning out in the garden he showed Grandpa that he was able to push the worms back into their holes. Grandpa was surprised and asked him “Timmy how do u manage to do that?” “Easy grandpa, I used my sister’s hair straightening spray on the worms. They become stiff and straight and therefore easy to push back into their holes!”

Grandpa was surprised and gave Timmy a $10 note. The next day grandpa came over, patted Timmy on the head and gave him another $10 note. Timmy said “Grandpa you already gave me $10 for the bet you lost!”. Grandpa smiled and said “I know son. This $10 is from your grandma!”

3 Things To Change Your Life

If you could rearrange 3 things about your life, what would they be?

I think about those things a lot and sometimes it varies but I do agree that if I did make some changes, ie. rearrange things in my life, things would become a whole lot better. In no particular order those 3 things at this point in time are:

1. Move – for more good things than I can mention right now, moving is a must for me to make my life a whole lot better. Unfortunately that is better said than done. I would expect a certain level of life if I do move that I would want to maintain if I do move out on my own. More and more I know that for me to be truly happy I would have to live on my own terms and then only will I have true happiness. No matter what else in the world, unless you have that you cannot have true happiness if you cannot live as you want to.

2. Lose weight – Ha, this is so …. anyways, enough said that I do have to lose some weight to make things easier for me. I am not getting any younger, no spring chicken this dude, and it would be better and make things a whole lot better & easier & healthier if I did. First step is to fix a diet, a budget and stick to a little exercise schedule.

3. Make more money – the great one! I wish things didn’t revolve around money but yes it does. I want more money, I need more money. I have started a small venture, very small which can give me some extra cash every month or so. It’s small for now but it’s a step in the right direction. I just got my first payment out of it and it’s a good feeling. I will have to wait for a few months to see if it is paying off but I am excited about some of these things and hope to find more ways to do similar much ventures. Whatever or whichever things I do, my thinking is gonna be – make money, make more money and once that is done; make even more! And save!
