Funny Mr.Bean

Mr.Bean and his family were having Sunday dinner at his Grandmother's house.

Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served.

When Mr.Bean received his plate, he started eating right away. "Dear! Please wait

until we say our prayer." said his Wife.

"I don't need to," the Mr.Bean replied.

"Of course, you do." his Wife insisted. "We always say a prayer before eating at our house."

"That's at our house." Mr.Bean explained. "But this is Grandma's house and she knows how to cook!"

The Weight & Burdens of Life's Stresses

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. 

As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the 

“half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, 

she inquired: ”How heavy is this glass of water?”

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. 

If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, 

I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb 

and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, 

but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.”

She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. 

Think about them for a while and nothing happens. 

Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. 

And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything.”

It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. 

As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. 

Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night. 

Remember to put the glass down!
