    Good Grief, I Abstruse a Lot, Charlie Brown!   by Jim M. Allen

    For 50 years the circadian banana band Atom

    entertained millions of readers. Every day, the

    adventures of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus and

    the accomplished assemblage provided some laugh-out-loud

    moments while at the aforementioned time alms a daily

    inspiration and acquaint on life.

    With the contempo afterlife of Atom creator

    Charles Schulz, I reflect on how abundant I enjoyed

    sharing the adventures of the Atom assemblage and

    I bethink the some acquaint they accomplished me...

    1. It s accept to be afraid... just don t let your

    fears ascendancy you. Charlie Amber generally sat in bed

    and batten of his fears, but no amount how scared

    he was, he consistently did the things he capital to do.

    2. Chain wins out. Charlie Amber generally

    lost, bootless at much, but he never gave up. Even

    though he knew Lucy was traveling to cull the

    football abroad afore he could bang it.... Even

    though he knew the timberline was traveling to eat his

    kite... Even admitting he knew his aggregation would lose

    the brawl game, he kept on trying.

    3. It s what you anticipate of yourself that counts.

    Linus agitated a aegis absolute for years and

    his accompany laughed at him. They aswell laughed at

    him because he believed in the "Great Pumpkin."

    Pigpen was a walking billow of dust and clay and

    was generally admired unkindly. Both characters,

    however, were consistently appreciative of themselves and

    believed they were as acceptable as anybody abroad -- and

    they were right.

    4. Some time s you charge to talk. One affair the

     Atom assemblage accepted was the accent of

    talking things out. Whether aptitude up against

    Schroeder s piano or aloft the brick wall, they

    always had achieve to altercate what was of

    concern to them.

    5. Some time s you charge to listen. Even crabby,

    self-indulged Lucy knew the accent of

    listening. She started the acclaimed Psychiatry

    Booth area any and all could appear and be heard.

    6. Do what you adulation to do. Through all their

    adventures, Schroeder remained connected in his

    appreciation of Beethoven and his adulation of playing

    the piano. He admired to play piano and that s what

    he did, behindhand of the circumstances. Charlie

    Brown flew his kite, played baseball and

    football, not just to win (he knew he wouldn t),

    but because he admired to do those things.

    7. It s important to accept accompany that care. The

     Atom assemblage was create up of individual

    characters, anniversary with their own foibles and

    talents, but through it all they were always

    there for anniversary other.

    8. Big dreams advance to big things. Snoopy was the

    biggest dreamer of them all, but his wild

    imagination generally led to even wilder, more

    fantastic adventures in absolute life. Snoopy knew

    that you haveto accept a big dream if you are going

    to advance a big life.

    9. Activity creates reality. As Charlie Amber was

    reminded time and afresh afterwards prodding from

    Linus: it takes activity to accompany about change.

    Though he generally failed, Abandon took activity quite

    regularly... and every now and afresh things would

    go his way.

    10. Beam every day! While the kids themselves

    may not accept apparent the amusement in the things they

    did, Schulz create abiding that we did. Activity is only

    as austere or as amusing as YOU create it.

    Lighten up. Go play softball. Fly a kite. Dance

    with your dog. Smile... it makes humans wonder

    what you re up to.
