I’ve learned…that when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.

I’ve learned…that I wish I could have told my Mom that I love her one more time before she passed away.

I’ve learned…that one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.

I’ve learned…that a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

I’ve learned…that when your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his fist, that you’re hooked for life.

I’ve learned…that everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it.

I’ve learned…that the less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.
