1. Anger Is A Gift

I was driving my car today, and the car in front of me had this bumper sticker: "Anger is a gift." And I thought, "Wow! What a right on concept!"


Anger tells us that something is wrong, and we better correct the situation, if it's humanly possible. It also reminds us that we have values, and that we are passionate people. You have to feel strongly about something to get angry about it. Your mind is screaming for you to "Do something!" And I don't mean pull out your .45 Magnum revolver. You're not going to make anyone's day with that. Maybe it's time to evaluate what's going on to make you so angry, and then do some problem solving.


In today's e-mail, Wings for the Heart Motivational Newsletter (http://www.wingsfortheheart.com), I came across five steps for striving to be happy. What would your five steps be? Well, I found step two rather interesting:



2.Have a healthy outlet for your anger - you need to let your frustrations out.Talk to someone if you must or go to the gym to pump out those happy hormones.Studies show that people who exercise are more readily able to find solutionsto their problems.  

That sounds like good advice to me, if you want to be happy.

Nevertheless, never forget: Anger is a gift, and it's what you do with it that counts--like all gifts.

2. Philosophy for the Traveling Masses

One of my favorite things to do on long car rides is read bumper stickers. So lately, when I see a funny one, I scribble it down (only if I'm a passenger, of course). Here's my List of Vehicular Words of Wisdom so far: 


 I'm only speeding 'cause I really have to poop.

Not so close! I'm not that kind of car.

Well. That was fun. But short. 

So I turned to the web to see if I could find a few more to add to my collection (until our next road trip), and it did not disappoint: 

Isn't a smoking area in a restaurant like a peeing area in a swimming pool?

It's not how you pick your nose but where you put the booger.

If at first you do succeed, try not to look astonished.

Why is "abbreviation" such a long word?

Cannibals won't eat clowns...They taste funny.

"Reintarnation:" Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

Come to the dark side. We have cookies!

When the chips are down, the buffalo is empty.

I child-proofed my house but they still get in.

When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

What I really need are minions.


And there it is - my fledgling List of Vehicular Words of Wisdom. If you've come across any bumper stickers that gave you a chuckle - and remember, family show here - drop me a comment and tell me all about it, so I can add it to the collection.
