Hey... Here are some lessons I've learned.
I've learned that life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
I've learned that we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for.
I've learned that money doesn't buy class.
I've learned that it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.
I've learned that under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.
I've learned that the Lord didn't do it all in one day. What makes me think I can?
I've learned that to ignore the facts does not change the facts.
I've learned that when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.
I've learned that love, not time, heals all wounds.
I've learned that the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.
I've learned that everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile. Everyone also includes family. (Ever wondered why we don't treat our family with the love they deserve???)
I've learned that there's nothing sweeter than sleeping with your babies and feeling their breath on your cheeks. And the best thing to steal is a kiss from a sleeping child.
I've learned that no one is perfect until you fall in love with them.
I've learned that life is tough, but I'm tougher. Or I try to be.
I've learned that opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.
I've learned that when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.
I've learned that one should keep his words both soft and tender because tomorrow he may have to eat them.
I've learned that a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
I've learned that I can't choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it.
I've learned that when your newly born child holds your little finger in his little fist, that you're hooked for life.
I've learned that it is best to give advice in only two circumstances: when it is requested and when it is a life-threatening situation.
I've learned that the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.
On a humorous note... I've learned that holding an ET in your hand definitely makes you look smart. 😉 Also learned that first impressions don't really last for long.
