Hi Letvia... I'm not sure if it really is... but the email came today with this message. ;-) Regardless, we could all use a phone call from our girlfriends! xoxo
42663 There once was a little boy who had a bad
temper. His father gave him a bag of nails
and told him that every time he lost his
temper, he must hammer a nail into the back
of the fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails
into the fence. Over the next few weeks,
as he learned to control his anger, the
number of nails hammered daily gradually
dwindled down. He discovered it was easier
to hold his temper than to drive those
nails into the fence. Finally the day came
when the boy didn't lose his temper at
all.
He told his father about it and the father
suggested that the boy now pull out one
nail for each day that he was able to hold
his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was
finally able to tell his father that all
the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led
him to the fence. He said, "You have
done well, my son, but look at the holes in
the fence. The fence will never be the
same. When you say things in anger, they
leave a scar just like this one. You can
put a knife in a man and draw it out. But
It won't matter how many times you say
I'm sorry, the wound will still be
there. A verbal wound is as bad as a
physical one. Remember that friends are
very rare jewels, indeed. They make you
smile and encourage you to succeed. They
lend an ear, they share words of praise and
they always want to open their hearts to
us." It's National Friendship
Week. Show your friends how much you care.
xoxo to you all!
