Mass E-Mail A Keeper

(Pssst…Pass It On!)

July 22, 2010

I check my e-mail most every day with the exception of weekends when I generally take a break from cell phones, e-mail and landlines. I pshaw modern day communication media intrusion for the company of a good book on my down time.

Among other things I find annoying about some types of e-mail are those mass e-mails that beckon you to forward them on to 10 of your friends, including the person who sent it to you. This is the equivalent of an old fashioned chain letter, I suppose.

Sometimes I get suckered into reading one of the things via a clever hook line. Recently I received one I found particularly intriguing and, well, instead of e-mailing it to 10 of my friends (because I don’t have that many in my list of e-mail contacts) I’m sharing it with you, gentle readers. If you like it, save it, clip it out and mail it to someone you really care about. Or anonymously slide it under the door of a colleague. Heck, run copies of it off, wait until it gets dark and stick it in the mailboxes of all your neighbors!

Are you ready for it? Because here’s the clever hook line: “Tequila and Salt.”

The rest of it goes as follows:

This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where one could read it every day. You may not realize it but it’s 100 percent true.

1. There are at least two people in this world that you would probably die for.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don’t like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. You are special and unique.

8. Someone that you don’t even know exists loves you.

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever something good comes of it.

10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.

11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

Happiness keeps you sweet.
Trials keep you strong.
Sorrows keep you human.
Failures keep you humble.
Worry looks around, sorry looks back and faith looks up.
And always remember . . .
When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila and salt and call me over!

That’s your mass e-mail for the day and I can honestly say . . .
I’ll raise a shot glass to that!

Have a good week friends, readers, and loved ones. It is as the old Beatles’ tune says: “All you need is love, love, love is all you need.”

Peace.
