Good Day! How are you doing? I hope that you had an absolutely fabulous on this Wednesday. Today is the 7th of May 2008 and that of course means that it is the mid-week Wednesday edition of the Morning Cruise. So we reached the half way mark of the week, that’s the good thing about Wednesday its smack half way in the middle, I’m going to admit can’t believe that we are indeed in May at times I do think that I am in April, but that is just me getting confused…So if it’s your birthday or anniversary on this weird kinda weather Wednesday morning you are so lucky…but happy birthday/anniversary… I hope that you have a wonderful day and that you are spoilt by your family or loved ones coz you deserve it…

Tips of the Day:

Now today’s tip was how to resolve family feuds as this is not a new phenomenon. Family feuds are very common and can have devastating effects. Here are ways to overcome a family fued.

1. Allow yourself time and space to calm down if you had a recent argument and you're full of anger.

2. Swallow your pride and decide that you definitely want to mend the relationship. Think about the undesirable outcomes if you do not mend it.

3. Examine your own role in the feud. Did you do or say things because you felt hurt and wanted to lash back?

4. Try to understand the other person and why he or she has acted in a hurtful way. Fight the urge to judge the person.


5. Forgive and forget. Holding a grudge will only eat you up inside.

Quote of the Day:

Ken Keys – To be upset over what you do not have is to waste what you do have

It’s time for me to love and leave you. You must have oh so super Wednesday…Much Love…Peace.
