Good Friday Morning Everyone:

Today is Eloise's and my 56th Anniversary. A day in which I thank 

God for this special lady in my life. I want to share some things I 

have learned in our lives together. Some of these were encouraged

by others to write and share with you today and some are made by

others and which I have adopted.

Things I Have Learned over the years:

I've learned....

That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.

I've learned....

That when you're in love, it shows.

I've learned ....

That's just one person saying to me, 'You've made my day!' makes 

my day.

I've learned....

That having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful 

feelings in the world.

I've learned....

That being kind is more important than being right.

I've learned....

That you should never say no to a gift from a child.

I've learned....

That I can always pray for someone when I don't have the strength 

to help him in any other way.

I've learned....

That no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone 

needs a friend to act goofy with.

I've learned....

That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart 

to understand.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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 when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger

in his little fist, you're hooked for life.

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.

I've learned....

That the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.

I've learned....

The life you lead together IS the Lesson you Teach.

~Thank you Andy Rooney for your help and suggestions~

May God Bless YOU and YOURS!

Much love.

Larry
