I received this from a friend and I want to share it. How true it is.
LIFE IS AN ECHO
A man and his young son were walking on a mountain trail when the boy tripped on a rock and twisted his ankle. "Ahhhh!" he screamed in pain.
"Ahhhh!" came a distant reply from the mountain.
The startled boy shouted back, "Who are you?"
"Who are you?" replied the voice from the mountain.
This made him angry, so he shouted, "You're a big coward!"
"You're a big coward!" was the reply.
The puzzled boy looked at his father and asked, "Dad, what's going on?"
"Son," the father replied, "listen to this." He then shouted, "I admire you!"
"I admire you!" answered the voice.
"You are wonderful!" shouted the dad.
And the voice replied, "You are wonderful!"
The father turned to his son and explained, "People call that an echo, but it's really life.
Life always gives back to you what you give to it. Life is a mirror of all your actions. If you want to be loved, give love. If you want respect, give respect. If you want people to be patient with you, be patient with them. This rule of nature applies to every part of our lives."

Great story Joyce, Thanks for sharing it! It is so true. Around here we call it self talk. You are what you say you are. What you give your attention to gets Bigger. Yet another example of how and why GRATITUDE works! ((((hugs))))
Amen to this dear.
