A Thinking Mood

Sometimes as I'm reading, things stand out and put me in a thinking mood.  It seems to happen when I'm contemplating where I'm going to go from here.  

A story I'm reading takes place during WWII and how people were rationing things.  The local paper had printed the headine:  Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do, or Do without.  That's pretty good!  In this disposable world we live in, we tend to take things for granted, to use it once and toss it out because we can always get another one.  Maybe we should change our thinking on this point.

In this same story, a friend writes: "Fill your life with wonderful words, beautiful music, and warm sunshine. Stretch out your arms and embrace all that life has to offer you."  Great words of wisdom!!

And finally, "I believe each person is responsible for their own happiness. To depend on other people to make you happy is a mistake."

Yep. All this has put me in a thinking mood.
