The Phrase That Pays

JD – The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day. – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

EB* – To err is human, but to really foul things up, you need a computer. – Paul Ehrlick

JW – The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases. – Thomas Jefferson

MS – Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. Proverbs 9:9

JR – I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them. – Isaac Asimov

I like the quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow because it shows how easily we can miss simple truths.

I had never really thought about it, but all of those stars are still shining all day long, we just can’t see them.

It makes me wonder what other “hidden stars” might be out there that I am missing.

Those little nice things my wife does for me that I don’t even notice.

That stranger that went out of their way for me even though I didn’t see them.

That co-worker who steps into something that was about to end up on my to do list.

I’m sure there a bunch of those little things (and probably some big ones) happening in my life each day.

I hope my eyes will be opened a little and that my heart will be thankful for those little blessings I don’t even see.

Make it a great day.

Jake
