This quote is so profound: If you will take the time to read these I promise you'll walk away with an enlightened perspective. The subjects covered, affects us all, on a daily basis: They're written by Andy Rooney, a man who had the gift of saying so much with so few words. .........Enjoy......... I've learned .... That under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved. I've learned .... That to ignore the facts does not change the facts. I've learned .... That love, not time, heals all wounds. I've learned .... That no one is perfect until you fall in love with them. I've learned ... That life is tough, but I'm tougher. I've learned .... That opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss. 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 little 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 To all of you.... Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence. It's NICE to show your friends how much you care. Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND, even if it means sending it back to the person who sent it to you. If it comes back to you, then you'll know you have a circle of friends. Love and Live ‼
