"A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there."

Someone in our neighborhood put a huge sofa out by the curb for trash collection.

Since it was in good shape, many motorists slowed down for a look. But when they saw how enormous it was, they'd leave.

Eventually, a sports car pulled up, and two teens got out.

"This I've got to see," I thought.

They removed the cushions, turned the sofa upside down, and shook it hard. Then they picked up all the coins that tumbled out and drove off laughing.

There was a little mouse in his little hole in the wall. On the one day the mouse really wanted to take a walk, a huge cat was right at his door. The little mouse was really upset that he couldn't leave.

While he was trying to figure out a solution, the mouse heard a dog barking. That's when he had a great thought. He said to himself, "Where there is a dog, there is no cat, and where there is no cat, I can go for my walk."

So he strutted on out of his mouse hole.

All of a sudden the cat grabbed the mouse, chewed him up, and ate him.

Then the cat said, "Wow, it's great to be bilingual!"

One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this: To rise above the little things.
