What I've Learned (Part 2 of 4)

Date: 8/14/2006

If you will take the time to read these we

promise you'll come away with an enlightened perspective. The subjects covered affect us all on a daily basis!

They're written by Andy Rooney, a man who

has the gift of saying so much with

so few words. Enjoy.......



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 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.
