Things I've Learned


I've learned....
the best classroom in the world
is at the feet of an elderly person.
I've learned....
that 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 I can always pray for someone
when I don't have the strength
to help him in some other way.
I've learned....
that one sincere apology is worth more
than all the roses money can buy.
I've learned....
that you should never say no to a
gift from a child.

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 love, not time, heals all wounds
I've learned....
that life is like a roll of toilet paper.
The closer it gets to the end, the
faster it goes.
