Do something that will improve your appearance.

It doesn’t have to be time-consuming or costly. Just a little pick me up.

Believe it or not, when we make the effort to look better, we actually feel better.

Focus on understanding rather than on being understood; on loving rather than on being loved.

Take a page from St. Francis of Assisi…

Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury,pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

Please grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
