Thanks for the free gift

Thanks everyone! If this report helps you change your life for the better, you might consider making a donation of any amount to one of the memorial funds set up for Barry!

Hi Barbara,

I'm glad you liked the story! I know how hard it can be to overcome the obstacles we encounter in our attempt to make things better but you just have to ask yourself, "How bad do you want it?" You have to want it bad enough. Take care!

You're a gifted writer....

I really enjoyed this.

Thank you!

Thanks for this story Chris - that is hugely powerful in just a few words - can't wait to get into the ebook! Reminds me of that song "Live like you were dying" - a great way to live.

Chris, thank you very much for the gift. I have a 9 year old daughter, who has everything going for her. She's very attractive, athletically talented, confident and extroverted, and academically gifted.... and is one of the most negative, pessimistic people I've ever met!!

I printed out your report, and gave it to her to read in the car while we were driving to swimming lessons. What an attitude adjustment! Admittedly, it's still only day 1 and tomorrow is another day, but her spirits have lifted, and she's become very generous and much happier. She loved your writing, particularly the story of the Land of Happiness.

The report is beside her bed, and I'll be gently suggesting she go back and reread it when she starts to slide back into her usual pattern of behaviour. We very much appreciate you sharing!

Audrey

thats a great share Chris!
Thanks so much.
Enjoyed the gift!

Thanks, everyone, for those nice comments.

Audrey,

I am thrilled that your daughter made the connection. It makes my day when I hear stories like that. It will do no good to just read it one time and then forget it. Thanks again!

this gives us all something to ponder...
thanks for the gift...(i mean the words)

Nice of you to share this article. I communicated with Barry now and then and am rather saddened by his passing on.

Awesome, really appreciated. Especially after the passing on of a
dear friend.

Mother's day is coming up fast and is a day that mothers should be honored for the sacrifices made and love given without expectation when raising her children. People sometimes get wrapped up in their own life, worried about legitimate issues from making dinner to working and forget what the mother in their life does or did to make work out the way it should.

One should not forget on Mother's Day that from the day, of time mothers have put their children first, ensuring that they were safe, healthy, and happy. Mothers give up many things, including their careers because being at home with their children is what they feel is best for their children. However, this is not to say that working mothers do not sacrifice for their children. Some mothers due to various financial reasons do without their wants and desires in order to allow their children the opportunity to play a sport, go to camp, or even to have clothes to wear.Sacrifices like these should not be ignored, especially on Mother's Day. Flowers, cards,and candy would be appreciated, but on Mother's Day think beyond what is easy and convenient. Women tend to be more sentimental than men, so if the woman is a mother of young children, a gift to immortalize her children at their present age is appropriate. Many of these type items can be found at a local arts and crafts
store. One such item is a garden walking stone kit. The kit comes complete with a mold and concrete that when mixed up and poured allows for a child to imprint their hands or feet. Once dried, the child can decorate it with paint or other craft items. If the mother is not an outdoor type person or does not live in an area where a garden walking store would be appropriate, any other Mother's Day gift that a child makes will be treasured.If an arts and craft project is chosen for Mother's Day, be sure look for a kit. A kit will come complete with everything that is needed to finish the Mother's Day project. This will avoid having to purchase everything individually, which usually leads to a higher price and also there will not be an opportunity to forget something.

If creativity is not a forte then a Mother's Day gift of relaxation is always an option. Cleaning the house or even hiring a housecleaner once or twice would make just about any mother happy on Mother's Day. Of course, some moms just need a break. These moms tend to take care of everyone, but themselves. A Mother's Day gift to a spa or a weekend getaway with friends is the perfect gift for these moms. If a spa or weekend getaway is not option then think about letting mom have the whole house to herself for a day or some moms may even enjoy taking a shower without being interrupted.

A "Happy Mother's Day" phone call or card to say thanks for everything you've ever done truly is enough for most mothers. All that really matters on Mother's Day is that she is remembered, regardless of the gift given.

Thanks for sharing, Chris. Life has its beautiful moments. You are the kind of guy that could bring these moments to someone's life.

thanks for the gift
