I've Learned...

Taken from a very looooooong list... I'm writing the ones that are relevant:

I've learned...

• That life is tough, but I'm tougher. 

• That just one person saying to me, "You've made my day!" makes my day.  ("Thank you" will do nicely, too)

• That being kind is more important than being right.

• That when you're in love, it shows.  (ehe... pimples???)

• That I can always pray for someone when I don't have the strength to help him in some other way.

• That no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.

• That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.  (not a heart to hold and a hand to understand)

• That simple walks with my father around the park when I was a child did wonders for me as an adult.

• That life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

• That we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for.  (but He gives us something better)

• That it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.

• That under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.  (I should know... I have a "hard" shell, too, hehehe)

• That the Lord didn't do it all in one day. What makes me think I can?  (and He also rested after 6 days of work)

• That to ignore the facts does not change the facts.

• That love, not time, heals all wounds. 

• That opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss. (I'm waiting...)

• That when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.

• That one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.  (and they really don't taste as sweet)

• That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. (Smiling is contagious, too!)

• That I can't choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it.

• That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you're climbing it.  (like climbing my Mt. Everest)

• That the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.  (but not really cramming)

• That the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.  (and if you're my friend, you're definitely smarter than I am)

• That no one is perfect until you fall in love with them. (ahhhh...)

• That everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile.  (Right! Just look at my main pic)

 

After all... that's LIFE!  :)
