Happy New Year

Happy New Year? We’ll see.

Hey, before we close out 2013 with one of my favorite short stories… I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you a happy and healthy 2014.

Sometimes life hands you lemons… and sometimes you can make lemonades with those lemons.

But other times life hands you rotten lemons. And you just have to try and get through walking around soaked in stinky rotten lemon juice for a while.

So next time life hands you rotten lemons, think about this:

A farmer had only one horse. One day his horse ran away.

All the neighbors came by saying, “I’m so sorry. This is such bad news. You must be so upset.”

The man just said, “We’ll see.”

A few days later, his horse came back with twenty wild horses following. The man and his son corraled all 21 horses.

All the neighbors came by saying, “Congratulations! This is such good news. You must be so happy!”

The man just said, “We’ll see.”

One of the wild horses kicked the man’s only son, breaking both his legs.

All the neighbors came by saying, “I’m so sorry. This is such bad news. You must be so upset.”

The man just said, “We’ll see.”

The country went to war, and every able-bodied young man was drafted to fight.

The war was terrible and killed every young man, but the farmer’s son was spared, since his broken legs prevented him from being drafted.

All the neighbors came by saying, “Congratulations! This is such good news. You must be so happy!”

The man just said, “We’ll see.”

I hope you have an exciting 2014. I guess, we’ll see, right?

Now go sell something, Craig Garber

P.S. If you send me in some questions to answer on my next Ask Me, Baby video, I’ll make it next week some time.
