This I’ve Learned


I WAS THINKING…
about a concert I recently went to performed by the French Boys Choir. The boys were ages from 8 to 18 all the way from Paris, France. What a treat! And what a great experience for those young guys to travel and share their talent at such a young age. When I was that age, I thought I was brave to sing in the church choir. Aw well, I doubt if anyone in France wanted to hear me sing anyway.

HAVE YOU NOTICED?
Newspaper print gets smaller every day.
People just don’t talk as loud as they use to.
Companies are putting the lids on jars tighter.
Nine o’clock comes much earlier these days.

LESSONS FROM THE BUTTERFLIES
Perhaps the butterfly is proof that you can go through a great deal of darkness and still become something beautiful.
When you find yourself in isolation and you cannot find your way out of darkness, remember, this is similar to where caterpillars go to grow their wings.
Love is like a butterfly: It goes where it pleases and it pleases wherever it goes.

EARTHQUAKES
(Taken from Reader’s Digest Problem Solver)
INDOORS: Get under table, desk or bed. Or stand inside corner next to an interior wall. Keep away from windows, mirrors, glass, bookcases, light fixtures, tall cabinets and fireplaces. The kitchen is a dangerous place.
OUTDOORS: Get into an open area. Avoid buildings, walls, power lines, light posts and trees or anything that might fall on you.
IN A CAR: Stop, but away from traffic as far as possible. Do not stop on or under a bridge, overpass, power lines, light posts or tree. Stay inside until tremors stop.

LIFE IS TOO SHORT
Grudges are a waste of happiness. Laugh when you can, apologize when you should, and let go of what you can’t change. Love deeply and forgive quickly. Life is too short to be unhappy.

PUNCH LINES
Prescription for embarrassment: Open mouth; insert foot.
Life is a success if you make one person happy–you.
