Does anyone remember this cute little commercial jingle from years ago?
Life's simple pleasures are the best All the little things that make you smile and glow Of all the things you know Life's simple pleasures are the best
I think of it often because sometimes it's the simple pleasures that help us get through the day.
If anyone's trying to remember what the product was, it was Van Kamp's pork and beans, lol.
"When we envy who others are and what they have, don't respect others' efforts, feel diminished by their accomplishments, or believe we're entitled to something we haven't earned, we quickly lapse into other sins, like lying, gossip, character assasination-even defamation and slander"

Well, how about this? "A successful life journey does not come from angry confrontations, blaming or shifting responsibility for our actions to others, or marinating in obscene and ugly memories. A successfull life journey comes from kissing the dawn"
"our own personal disappointments, frustrations, disagreement, or discomforts do not give us license to be cruel or enjoy the pain of others. Relishing the misfortunes or embarrassment of others displays the least admirable qualities of a human being. That isn't a true "win". Rather, it's a true loss of basic humanity."
