This I’ve Learned

I WAS THINKING
when was the last time I sang?  I mean just spontaneously, for no reason, when I’m alone. I don’t even remember and I used to do it all the time. I wonder if anyone else ever does that? Well, I decided to sing. Of course, no one could hear me and that’s a good thing because I certainly don’t have the same voice I did when I was young and sang in the choir. But that’s okay. I did for myself and it felt good. Try it!

sometimes you stop to think and forget to start again.

KEEP A HAPPY FACE
Most worries are reruns, so why worry about it.
The best way to forget your problems is to help someone else solve theirs.

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE
Harry was concerned his wife was becoming hard of hearing.  He decided to do a test. He stood about 30 feet from her and in a normal voice he asked, “When is your sister coming to visit?”. There was no response. He moved closer to her and repeated, “When is your sister coming to visit?”. Still no response. So, he walked right behind her and asked her again. This time she answered, “Harry for the third time—she’s coming Friday.”

KEEP COLORS BRIGHT AND WHITES STAY WHITE
(Taken from Easy Does It)
Instead of using color safe bleaches, add salt to the wash water.  Your clothes will keep their vivid colors and last longer. Bleach is harder of fabric than salt.
Keep socks white by presoaking then in baking soda and water.  It will loosen the soil before you throw them in the washer.                                                                               Clothes will be damaged if soaked too long in bleach. Fifteen minutes can be just as effective.
