Where's temper coming from?!?

Dr. John Maxwell writes, elsewhere:

"Sooner or later, a man, if he is wise, discovers that life is a mixture of good days and bad, victory and defeat, give and take.
1. He learns that it doesn't pay to be a too-sensitive soul, that he should let some things go over his head.
2. He learns that he who loses his temper usually loses out, that all men occasionally have burnt toast for breakfast, and that he shouldn't take the other fellow's grouch too seriously.
3. He learns that carrying a chip on his shoulder is the easiest way to get into trouble, that the quickest way to become unpopular is to carry tales of gossip about others, that buck-passing always turns out to be a boomerang, and that it doesn't matter who gets the credit so long as the job gets done.
4. He learns that most others are as ambitious as he is, that they have brains as good or better, that hard work, not cleverness, is the secret of success.
5. He learns that no one ever gets to first base alone, that it's only through co-operative effort that we move on to better things.
6. He realises (in short) that the 'art of getting along', depends 98% on his own behaviour toward others.

----Wherever this was lifted from, it sure did make my day.

It's official, I am TAKEN

Come 31st December, I sealed my heart with my bucksy:

Opening bucksy was like tasting caramel machiatto for the first time, hot, sweet and creamy in the palate.

When our eyes met, I swear it was heaven. I can't wait to glide the pen that comes with her upon her smooth, fair skin--

And the words will
surely fall sublime.

And this...



Together, we will...





I on her, and she on me.
