My Maxiums

by Cheryl Merrick

Convention
Finding an well worn rut
     and remaining in it
no matter how miserable
     you become.

Looking Back
If you’re always
looking back,
You’ll never enjoy
where you’re at.


Love Can't be Bought
Only Given

March Maxims 2007

A new idea
is just
a convention
which hasn’t aged
yet

Love
A decision of the heart

Homogenization
is good for milk,
but not for relationships

Computer
vehicle for the mind

Adversity
It is always darkest
before the storm.

Example
A candle shines
brightest in a darkened room.

Rules
Rules are the guides
you follow
until you understand

September Sayings

Meditation
letting the right brain romp

Gratitude
enjoying what you have
and thanking the Giver

Gratitude
seeing the donut instead of the hole

Happiness
the result of righteous living

Wishes

Wishes are

just dreams

without action

Work and Play

Work

doing something

you or someone else 

values,

but you do not 

necessarily enjoy

or find easy to do.

Play

doing things

which give you pleasure

and are natural

and easy for you to do.
