Tender-handed grasp a nettle,
And it stings you for your pains.
Grasp it like a man of mettle,
And it soft as silk remains.
Aaron Hill 1685-1750

Ten Spiritual Tonics
These aren’t mine, but I like them. Simple and effective!
1. Stop worrying. Worry kills life.
2. Begin each day with a prayer. It will arm your soul.
3. Control appetite. Over-indulgence clogs body and mind.
4. Accept your limitations . . .
5. Don’t envy. It wastes time and energy.
6. Have faith in people. Cynicism sours the disposition.
7. Find a hobby. It will relax your nerves.
8. Read a book a week to stimulate imagination and broaden your views.
9. Spend some time alone for the peace of solitude and silence.
10. Try to want what you have, instead of spending your strength trying to get what you want.
