THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Have you ever had a difficult time going to sleep at night because you did something that you knew was wrong? The Japanese have a wonderful proverb: Let a man so act by day that he may lie happily on his mat by night. The Germans say the same thing in another way: A good conscience makes a soft pillow. Is your conscience bothering you? Do you need a good night sleep? Talk with someone you trust – your mom or dad, faith leader, teacher, or counselor. Tell the person what you did, and let him /her help you decide how you can best mend the situation. Then, do your very best to learn from your mistake, forgive your-self, and move on.
