A Piece of Cake

Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?"
Here's a wonderful explanation! A daughter is telling her Mother
how everything is going wrong, she's failing algebra,
her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.
Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter
if she would like a snack, and the daughter says,
"Absolutely Mom, I love your cake."
Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers.
"Yuck" says her daughter. "How about a couple of raw eggs?"
"Gross, Mom!" "Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"
"Mom, those are all yucky!" To which the mother replies,
"Yes, all those things seem bad all bythemselves.
But when they are put together in the right way,
they make a wonderfully delicious cake!
Life works the same way. Many times we wonder why we have to
go through such bad and difficult times, not being able to envision
our greater surroundings. All things work together for a common good.
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here
we might as well dance. Hope your day is a "piece of cake!"

Joke of the month

Dear Husband, Dear Ex-Wife
Dear Husband:
I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you for good.
I've been a good woman to you for seven years and
I have nothing to show for it. These last two weeks have been hell.

Your boss called to tell me that you had quit your job today and
that was the last straw. Last week, you came home and didn't notice that
I had gotten my hair and nails done, cooked your favorite meal and
even wore a brand new negligee. You came home and
ate in two minutes, and went straight to sleep after
watching the game. You don't tell me you love me anymore,
you don't touch me or anything. Either you're cheating
or you don't love me anymore, what ever the case is, I'm gone.

P.S. If you're trying to find me, don't. Your BROTHER and I are
moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life!
Your EX-Wife

================================

Dear Ex-Wife
Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter.
It's true that you and I have been married for seven years,
although a good woman is a far cry from what you've been.
I watch sports so much to try to drown out your constant nagging.
Too bad that doesn't work.

I did notice when you cut off all of your hair last week,
the first thing that came to mind was "You look just like a man!"
My mother raised me to not say anything if you can't say anything nice.
When you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me
confused with MY BROTHER, because I stopped eating pork
seven years ago. I went to sleep on you when you had on that
new negligee because the price tag was still on it.
I prayed that it was a coincidence that my brother had just
borrowed fifty dollars from me that morning and your negligee was $49.99.

After all of this, I still loved you and felt that we could work it out.
So when I discovered that I had hit the lotto for ten million dollars,
I quit my job and bought us two tickets to Jamaica.
But when I got home you were gone.
Everything happens for a reason I guess.
I hope you have the filling life you always wanted.
My lawyer said with your letter that you wrote,
you won't get a dime from me. So take care.

P.S. I don't know if I ever told you this but Carl, my brother was born Carla.
I hope that's not a problem.

Signed: Rich As Hell and Free!

When All My Wishes Were Fulfilled

In my tradition, monks aren't allowed to accept, own,
or handle any money, whatever its kind. We are so poor that
we mess up government statistics. We live frugally on the unsolicited,
simple giftsfrom our lay supporters. However, infrequently,
we may be offered something special.

I had helped a Thai man with a personal problem.
Out of gratitude, he said to me: "Sir, I would like to give you something
for your personal use. What can I get you for the amount
of five hundred baht?" It was usual to quote the amount when
making such an offering,to avoid any misunderstanding.
Since I wouldn't think what I wanted straight away and he was in a hurry,
we agreed that I could tell him the next day when he returned.

Before this occured, I was a happy little monk.
Now I started to contemplate what I wanted. I made a list.
The list grew. Soon, five hundred baht wasn't enough.
But it was so difficult to take anything off the list.
Wants had appeared out of nowhere and solidified into
absolute necessities. And the list kept growing.
Now, five thousand baht wasn't sufficient!

Seeing what was happening, I threw my wish list away.
The next day, I told my benefactor to give five hundred baht
to the monastery building fund or to some other good cause.
I didn't want it. What I wanted most of all was to regainthe rare contenment
I had had the day before. When I had no money,
nor the means to get anything, that was the time when all
my wishes were fulfilled. Wanting has no end to it.
Even one billion baht isn't enough, nor a billion dollars.
But freedom from wanting has an end. It is when you want nothing.
Contentment is the only time you have enough.
