[stylist] Old Blind Mikes Proverbs for Ideas and Thoughts!

[Lynda Lambert]

Blind Mike and Shelley,

This is such a refreshing post and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it!
Some of the ones that are STAND-OUTS for me are: #4 because of the 
importance of small things in life; #14 and #15  are  HILARIOUS.
Thanks for sharing a "bit of sunshine and wisdom" with us!  Lynda
