This I’ve Learned


Blog Dec. 4, 2023

I WAS THINKING…
about the sun. Is the sun brighter these days? The sunlight seems to explode when I open the shutters in the morning and I think it follows me more when I’m driving. Of course, I know, the sun has been around forever and it’s not going to start changing now. So, it must be me. I suppose my eyes are getting more sensitive. It must be another way my body is reminding me that I’m getting older. But that’s okay. I know the alternative.

TALK ABOUT GETTING OLD
It takes about ten years to get use to how old you are.
Age is what makes furniture worth more and people worth less.
You have to get old before anybody will say you look young.
Old people like the olden days because they were younger then.
As you get older, your memory is shorter and your stories are longer.

OH, CHRISTMAS TREE
(Taken from Easy Does It)
Use giant paper clips to hang ornaments. Twist the shape in an “S” and fasten the ornament to the smaller end.
If you have an artificial tree and miss the smell of real pine, visit your local tree seller and ask to collect greenery off the ground. Or ask a friend who still get real trees to give you the branches they cut off. Place them in a basket around the house.
Needles can be a welcome to your compost pile and the trunk can be transformed into a few logs in the fireplace.

THIS I’VE LEARNED
We all know of times when we would do something different. “IF ONLY” we could. Those two words often haunt us. We know that we can’t undo what is over. But we can learn from our mistakes and be ready the next time and perhaps become a better person because of it. I once heard it said “Let your scars become stars.”
