The World's Most Communicative Disease
 
There is a funny story about an optimistic farmer who couldn't
wait to greet each new day with a resounding, "Good morning, God!" 
 
 He lived near a woman whose morning greeting was more like, "Good God... 
 morning?" They were each a trial to the other. Where he saw opportunity,
 she saw  problems. Where he was satisfied, she was discontented.
 
         One bright morning he exclaimed, "Look at the beautiful
 sky! Did you see that glorious sunrise?"
 
         "Yeah," she countered. "It'll probably get so hot the
 crops will scorch!"
 
         During an afternoon shower, he commented, "Isn't this
 wonderful? Mother Nature is giving the corn a drink today!"
 
         "And if it doesn't stop before too long," came the sour
 reply, "we'll wish we'd taken out flood insurance on the crops!"
 
         Convinced that he could instill some awe and wonder in
 her hardened attitude, he bought a remarkable dog. Not just any
 mutt, but the most expensive, highly-trained and gifted dog he
 could find. The animal was exquisite! It could perform remarkable
 and impossible feats which, the farmer thought,  would surely
 amaze even his neighbor. So he invited her to watch his dog
perform.
 
         "Fetch!" he commanded, as he tossed a stick out into a
 lake, where it bobbed up and down in the rippling water. The dog
 bounded after the stick, walked ON the water, and retrieved it.
 
         "What do you think of that?" he asked, smiling.
 
         "Hmmm," she frowned. "Can't swim, can he?"
 
         Sometimes I think that negative thoughts are the world's
 most communicative diseases. More catching than any known virus,
 and just as deadly. But an attitude of awe and wonder can be just
 as contagious!
 
         Which will you be spreading today?
