When I taught career
development to single parents and homemakers, we always tried to sneak in a
little uplifting, motivational segment to help everyone stay emotionally
healthy. Going through some old papers, I found one which was titled, “What I’ve Learned.” Here are six from
the list that I particularly like:
I’ve learned that you can
tell a lot about a person by the way he or she handles these three things: a
rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
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 learned that whenever I
decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
I learned that even when I
have pains, I don’t have to be one.
I learned that making a
living is not the same as making a life.
I’ve learned that I still
have a lot to learn!
The pictures I included are
just flowers from around my house. This year, they seemed to thrive. Flowers
are uplifting to me, especially in times like we are now experiencing. I like
to stop and smell the flowers and appreciate their beauty.
Judy, you are an amazing person. I love learning more about you. We always say, "You can learn a lot about a person by the way they treat wait staff and cleaners, etc. I also think you can learn a lot about a person by the way animals react to them and their response. Like you, I love cheerful flowers in sight. Best of luck with HUCKLEBERRY HAPPINESS!
