Things I've Learned

I've learned . . . that the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.

I've learned . . . that when you're in love, it shows.

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 being kind is more important than being right.

I've learned . . . that you should never say no to a gift from a child.

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 no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.

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.
