On a Positive Note
I've learned that no matter
what happens,
or how bad it seems today,
life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person
by the way he/she handles these three things:
a rainy day, lost luggage,
and tangled Christmas tree lights.
I've learned that regardless
of your relationship with your parents,
you'll miss them
when they're gone from your life.
I've learned that making a "living"
is not the same thing as making a "life."
I've learned that life sometimes
gives you a second chance.
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life
with a catcher's mitt on both hands.
You need to be able to throw something back.
I've learned that if you pursue happiness,
it will elude you. But if you focus on
your family, your friends, the needs of others,
your work and doing the very best you can,
happiness will find you.
I've learned that whenever I decide
something with an open heart,
I usually make the right decision.
I've learned that even when I have pains,
I don't have to be one.
I've learned that every day
you should reach out and touch someone.
People love that human touch - holding hands,
a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
I've learned that you should pass this on
to someone you care about.
I just did. Sometimes they just need
a little something to make them smile.
I've learned that people will forget
what you said,
people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.
