I'm Learning.........

that a good sense of humor is money in the bank. In life. On the job. In a marriage.
that a good attitude can control situations you can't. That any bad experience can be a good one. It all depends on me.
to slow down more often and enjoy the trip. To eat more ice cream and less bran.
that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
that bitterness and gossip accomplish nothing, but forgiveness and love accomplish everything.
to always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be th last time I see them.
that if I'm standing on the edge of a cliff, the best way forward is to back up. That you don't fail when you lose, you fail when you quit.
that too many people spend a lifetime stealing time from those who love them most, trying to please the ones who care about them the least.
that money is a lousy way of keeping score. That true success is not measured in cars, or homes, or bank accounts, but in relationships.
that having enough money isn't nearly as much fun as I thought it would be when I didn't have any. That money buys less than you think.
that helping another is far more rewarding than helping myself. That those who laugh more worry less.
that you cannot make anyone love you. But you can work on being lovable.
that degrees, credentials, and awards mean far less than I thought they would.
that I will never regret a moment spent reading the Bible or praying. Or kind word. Or a day at the beach.
that laughter and tears are nothing to be ashamed of. To celebrate the good things. And pray about the bad.
The most important thing in the world is loving God. That everything good comes from that.

What I am learning...

*"Vanity of vanities saith the preacher...all is vanity."
*You have nothing in this life but the fruit of your labors
*All people fail you
*If all we had was hope in this life we would be most miserable
