Friends,
i just read this. its a good point to remember. Usually we let negatives from one part of our life affect the remaining parts. Sometimes negatives of our work place affect our personal life, sometimes negatives of our personal life affect our work, either way, its a mistake.

I hired a plumber to help me restore an old farmhouse, and after he
had just finished a rough first day on the job: a flat tire made him
lose an hour of work, his electric drill quit and his ancient one ton
truck refused to start.

While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On arriving, he
invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door,
he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches
with both hands.

When opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation. ..His
face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and
gave his wife a kiss.

Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity
got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do
earlier.

'Oh, that's my trouble tree,' he replied 'I know I can't help having
troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, those troubles don' t
belong in the house with my wife and the children.. So I just hang
them up on the tree every night when I come home and ask God to take
care of them. Then in the morning I pick them up again.' 'Funny thing
is,' he smiled,' when I come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there
aren't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before.'

Fall on my trouble tree!!!!

Navin,
I will have to make sure to segregate 2 sections of my Trouble tree, one for my work troubles and another for my home troubles.....or else have two different trees altogether.....so that I take the right troubles back to the right place...
I love Autumn...:rolleyes::)
