Enjoy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That I can always pray for someone when I don’t have the strength to help him in some other way.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an adult.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That we should be glad God doesn’t give us everything we ask for.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That money doesn’t buy class.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That it’s those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned… That under everyone’s hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That to ignore the facts does not change the facts.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned… That life is tough, but I’m tougher.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That when you harbour bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That I wish I could have told my Mom that I love her one more time before she passed away.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his little fist, that you’re hooked for life.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned…. That the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.<\/p>\n

Comment<\/strong><\/span>
\nI’ve learned that never a day goes by that I don’t learn or experience something new by sharing<\/strong> & to do so I must keep myself open to all that may come my way.
\nHave a wonderful day & God Bless
