Karma Words
TomsRiver -Brick January 2013
Our hearts go out to all of the victims and their families of the Sandy Hook, CT tragedy. It is incomprehensible that anyone could harm sweet innocent children and caring teachers. The only way for me to deal with such sadness is to truly believe that heaven exists. If I picture heaven as a wonderful place where there is no pain, sorrow or sadness then I can focus on the ones left behind. It is the families that need our help now. God will take care of the children.

Wake up and greet the new day. You can create the mood for the day before you get out of bed. When you first open your eyes, make a mental list of things you’d like to complete. Simple things like; take a shower, check email, eat breakfast get dressed.... then assign a time limit on the list. “I’ll be ready to leave the house by 8am.” Karma Words owned and published by: Lisa Ball 609-848-1111 Kimberly 732-604-0022 Lisa@LivingLBI.com www.KarmaWords.com Facebook.com/KarmaWords

Living a calm life takes a lot of practice. Our natural reaction is to over react! Anger is an easy emotion when things don’t go the way we expect. We think we can control the outcome with our tempers. In reality we can only control ourselves. Sometimes we get our way and sometimes we don’t. Watching people manipulate then watching as they get upset when things don’t go their way is almost comical! It is a “live” sitcom! They think they should be exempt from following the rules. What gives them this idea? Was it the way they were raised? Is it a mental illness? Are they just bullies? Where did they learn how to act so obnoxiously? They learned around age two then around the age of thirteen they improved their bad behavior. NO ONE stopped them. Parents stopped disciplining and families are just too busy to spend time together. And why can’t they change? People don’t change unless there is a payoff. If changing means they will make more money, go on a date, stay out of trouble or gain respect it may motivate them. Unfortunately immature people expect immediate gratification or they give up. It’s time to grow up. I witnessed first hand reactions to storm damage. Two months after the storm, some were still complaining. Pull yourself together, brush yourself off and start a new chapter.
