Smith Spot : UP ON THE HOUSETOP

UP ON THE HOUSETOP

This weekend has been beautiful! Sunny, blue skies, nearly perfect for mid-November. So Kent decided to take advantage of the nice weather by going "up on the housetop" and hanging Christmas lights.

Our house is very tall. This day always makes me so nervous. Every year I read news stories about people who fall to their deaths while putting up Christmas lights.

Thank goodness Kent stayed out of the news for one more year.

Say "YES"!

My Creed

*To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

*To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person I meet.

*To make all my associates feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

*To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.

*To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

*To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.

*To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

*To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.

*To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.

*To be too secure for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

*To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in small deeds.

*To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.
