it's a new day ahead-look forward, not back

we picked up some chinese food the other night, and my daughter opened the fortune cookie that read, "always do the right thing--some people will be gratified and others astonished".  i want to add that it's not always easy to do the right thing, taking the harder road never is.  doing the right thing is good for the soul though.  go ahead, stop for the dog trying to cross the street, stand at the door for a couple of seconds longer to hold it for the little old man crouched over while he walks ssooooo ssslllooollllyyyy behind you.  put a smile on someone's face by paying them a genuine compliment.
