The things you post on Facebook cheer me up every day. Thank you for the time you spend taking care of all of us. I am so happy you accepted my friendship. You are so smart. I bet Dr. Richard is proud of you. I like the message you sent him. It’s so true. I am copying it and printing it out and reading it everyday. Can you share it again here. The one about Before you talk, listen. etc. You are compassionate and caring. I love you.

Dear Mike,

Thank you for noticing! I try my best to post things that help me get through my day. I am glad to hear my posts help you, too! It’s my hope too that Dr. Baer is proud of me. The message I posted on my Facebook wall for all to see, including Dr. Baer, follows:

Before you talk, listen.

Before you react, think.

Before you criticize, wait.

Before you pray, forgive.

Before you quit, try.

Though not perfect, I try my best to live by these words. I’ve fallen victim to those who judge too quickly. I keep this quote close at hand and try to think about it before taking action. Sometimes one needs to take a deep breath before reacting…

Thank you again for sharing!

Karen
