This is a cute story.

P.S. Thanks for the Sprite delivery. After saying, "It's no fun being sick,"
when I told Bree Ann that she could drink Sprite all day long she said, "Now
there's a good thing about being sick. I get to drink POP!" She seems to be
feeling better after two cups full of it, and she has some color back in her
face. Hopefully it will just be a morning bug.
Everyone is thrilled with having chicken soup for lunch AND dinner too.
Thanks for saving the day.

***************************************
A little boy was overheard talking to himself as he strutted
through the backyard, wearing his baseball cap and toting
a ball and bat. "I'm the greatest hitter in the world," he announced.
Then he tossed the ball into the air, swung at it, and missed.
"Strike One!" he yelled.
Undaunted, he picked up the ball and said again, "I'm the greatest
hitter in the world!" He tossed the ball into the air. When it came
down he swung again and missed.
"Strike Two!" he cried.
The boy then paused a moment to examine his bat and ball
carefully. He spit on his hands and rubbed them together. He
straightened his cap and said once more, "I'm the greatest hitter
in the world!" Again he tossed the ball up in the air and swung at it.
He missed. "Strike Three!
Wow!" he exclaimed. "I'm the greatest pitcher in the world!"
Your attitude determines how circumstances impact your life. The
little boy's circumstances hadn't changed, but his optimistic
attitude prompted him to give an encouraging meaning to what
had happened.
What difficult time are you going through right now? Can you do
something to change it? If you can, don't wait another day, make
the needed changes. If you can't change the circumstance, however,
change your attitude, you'll discover that circumstances won't have
the last word.
