One Minute Tip:
A good question is worth a thousand pieces of casual advice. A great question can instantly transform our lives and launch us in a whole new direction. In almost any area of life, if you are not getting the results you want, try asking different, better, questions. I think you’ll like the results Asking ourselves, “Why can’t I ever save for the future?” causes the brain to give us a list of expenses and habits that spend all our income. Asking a better question like, ”I wonder how I could reduce expenses by $100 this month?” leads to a completely different set of answers and potential solutions. Whenever you find yourself stuck, particularly if you are repeating a pattern and want to change it, try asking yourself some new (and better) questions. Here are a few I use regularly: 1. What is the most important thing I can do today? 2. Since I don’t seem to know how to do this, I wonder who might know the answer? Who can I call for help? 3. Even though I can’t do it all today, what step can I take to get started right away? 4. Who could coach me, or teach me, about this? 5. Since what I’m doing isn’t working, what other methods could I try? What other strategy might give me a better approach?
Power Quotes:
Happiness:
”If you want to feel rich, just count all of the things you
have that money can’t buy.” Health: If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got
Prosperity:
Without organization and leadership toward a realistic goal, there is no chance of realizing more than a small percentage of your potential.

Christmas Cookies A Fun Activity for the Whole Family this Christmas! During the festive season it is important for families to spend not only quality time but fun time together. A great way to share some quality and fun time is to make and bake Christmas cookies. Even very young children can participate and they especially love the job or stirring or adding ingredients. Its quality time because you are doing something together as a family where you have to show patience, support and interact with each other in a positive and good spirited manner. Its also an opportunity to show off your talents as a family as Christmas cookies make a great gift in a Christmas decorated jar for family and friends to enjoy! The German traditions that led to Christmas cookies used less sugar and more spices like, nutmeg (as sugar was once a very expensive item that the average family could little afford). Cinnamon, cloves, raisins and other dried fruit were also commonly used. Today more modern recipes have sugar added. To get you baking here is a sensational Christmas Cookie recipe thats easy and everyone will love: Christmas Cookie Wreaths Recipe: Ingredients –

Tips for your Health:
Kids of working moms rank high if they get good care No need to feel guilty about working away from home if you have a three-year-old. Studies by Columbia University say that at age 3, a child whose mother didn’t work by the ninth month scores the same as the child of a working mother — if the mother is sensitive and arranges above-average child care. The study showed that an average child with below-average child care and mother sensitivity, whose mother worked 30 hours a week, scored some 13 points lower on the Bracken School Readiness test. It tests knowledge of colors, letters, numbers, shapes, and comparisons. A child whose mother worked 30 hours or more who was in an average environment, scored six points lower than the child whose mother worked but who received excellent care. Can Muscles Help You Live Longer? You already know that muscles can help you look better. But you might not know that there is a direct relationship between muscle mass and the strength of your immune system. White blood cells and antibodies, the foundation of your immune system, are both made from protein. And when you have well-developed muscles, you have a ready supply of protein to make these antibodies and cells. That’s why strength training is so important, especially as we age (when muscle mass naturally decreases). Studies have shown that the number of natural killer cells (a specific type of white blood cell) is directly proportional to muscle mass in the older population. Who should not fly According to the New England Journal of Medicine’s HealthNews, people with the following conditions should avoid or postpone air travel: * Any contagious disease, especially a lung infection. * Fluid in the lungs. * Air or gas in the cavity surrounding the lungs within the previous 3 weeks. * Low blood-oxygen levels (less than 70 mm HG). *Heart attack within the previous 3 weeks or stroke in the previous 2 weeks * Major surgery within 2 weeks. *Chest pain, irregular heartbeat, severe anemia, or a flare-up of sickle cell disease. * Pregnancy of 35 weeks or more. * Infants younger than 1 week.

KEYS TO SUCCESS
Make people feel at ease. They will respond to your needs as you respond to theirs.
Share the spotlight. Give credit to those who deserve it – and to those who strive. Don’t grab praise away from other people.
Have confidence in your own value. Don’t do anything that won’t credit your own self-respect. Follow up your actions as they reflect your own self-worth.
Listen well to others’ comments. Then weigh your own actions. Cultivate relationships with people who have good and important things to say.
Participate in life. Be active in business meetings and endeavors; volunteer to be part of organizations and groups. Social interaction will boost your sense of well-being .
Feel worthy of your own goal. Know that you can attain it and that it is right for you.
Grasp your own challenge. Don’t give yourself impossible goals, but always reach higher.
Relax and be yourself. Each person is different and just as wonderful as the next. Don’t be plagued by what you think others think of you.
Don’t bathe in success – use it. Once you achieve your first goal, go on to others. Use the money you earn for the rewards you look for. Then go on to the next endeavor.
Be slow to criticize others’ achievements. Find out how they did it and learn from them.
Never use subterfuge. Don’t go behind someone’s back. Speak your mind and earn respect.
Banish negative thoughts and traits. Restructure your life to exclude bad habits. Believe in yourself and what you are to accomplish. All the power in the world is within you to achieve.
You can avoid these five pitfalls on the job If you’re not watching how you work, how you act, how you speak and how you dress, you could be sending a signal that says, “When it’s time to cut someone, choose me.” Ronna Lichtenberg, author of It’s Not Business, It’s Personal: The 9 Relationship Principles That Power your Career (Hyperion), says you can make yourself indispensable by avoiding these mistakes: * Not pitching in when others ask for help is a mistake. The busier-than-thou attitude doesn’t make allies. * Taking everything personally is a mistake. Some decisions must be made without regard to whether your work is appreciated. Your idea may have been passed over, but don’t think it’s because the boss doesn’t like you. * Confusing business with pleasure is a mistake. At office functions, mingle with people at your level or above, people who are in a position to promote you. Know the difference between business and socializing. * Seeking perfection is a mistake. Know the difference between having to be perfect and striving for excellence. Be willing to take on new duties. If you make a mistake, admit it and find a solution. * Neglecting your appearance is a mistake. Many bosses think your appearance is a reflection of your work.

A little boy was attending his first wedding.
After the service, his cousin asked him, “How many women can a man marry?”
“Sixteen,” the boy responded. His cousin was amazed that he had an answer so quickly.

“That’s okay with us, but what made you decide that?”
“Well,” said the little boy, “I have to go to church on Sunday anyway, and I figure it will be more fun to stand up and yell, than to sit and listen.” ?º°’°º?o,,,,o?º°’°º?o?º°’°º?o,,,,o?º°’°º?o?

Terri asked her Sunday School class to draw pictures of their favorite Bible stories. She was puzzled by Kyle’s picture, which showed four people on an airplane, so she asked him which story it was meant to represent.
“The Flight to Egypt ,” was his reply .

A college drama group presented a play in which one character would stand on a trap door and announce, “I descend into hell!”
A stagehand below would then pull a rope, the trapdoor would spring, and the actor would drop from view.
The play was well received. When the actor playing the part became ill, another actor who was quite overweight took his place. When the new actor announced, “I descend into hell!” the stagehand pulled the rope, and the actor began his plunge, but became hopelessly stuck. No amount of tugging on the rope could make him descend.
One student in the balcony jumped up and yelled:
“Hallelujah! Hell is full!” ?º°’°º?o,,,,o?º°’°º?o?º°’°º?o,,,,o?º°’°º?o?
This is the best one.
A little girl was sitting on her grandfather’s lap as he read her a bedtime story.
From time to time, she would take her eyes off the book and reach up to touch his wrinkled cheek. She was alternately stroking her own cheek, then his again.
Finally she spoke up, “Grandpa, did God make you?”
“Yes, sweetheart,” he answered, “God made me a long time ago.”
“Oh,” she paused, “grandpa, did God make me too?”
“Yes, indeed, honey,” he said, “God made you just a little while ago.”
Feeling their respective faces again, she observed, “God’s getting better at it, isn’t he ?”
