Smile

Hi Group, Hope you enjoy this and that it makes you smile too!

Sheila, Coquille,Oregon RA 2 years AP 1 week!!

I've learned that I like my teacher because she cries

when we sing " Silent Night. "

Age 6

I've learned that you can't hide a piece of broccoli in a

glass of milk.

Age 7

I've learned that when I wave to people in the country,

they stop what they are doing and wave back.

Age 9

I've learned that just when I get my room the way I like

it, Mom makes me clean it up.

Age 13

I've learned that if you want to cheer yourself up, you

should try cheering someone else up.

Age 14

I've learned that although it's hard to admit it, I'm secretly

glad my parents are strict with me.

Age 15

I've learned that silent company is often more healing

than words of advice.

Age 24

I've learned that brushing my child's hair is one of life's

great pleasures.

Age 26

I've learned that wherever I go, the world's worst drivers

have followed me there.

Age 29

I've learned...that if someone says something unkind

about me, I must live so that no one will believe it.

Age 39

I've learned that there are people who love you dearly,

but just don't know how to show it.

Age 41

I've learned that you can make someone's day by simply

sending them a little card.

Age 44

I've learned that the greater a person's sense of guilt,

the greater his need to cast blame on others.

Age 46

I've learned that children and grandparents are natural

allies.

Age 47

I've learned that singing " Amazing Grace " can lift my

spirits for hours.

Age 49

I've learned that motel mattresses are better on the side

away from the phone.

Age 50

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a man by the

way he handles these three things: a rainy day, lost

luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

Age 52

I've learned that keeping a vegetable garden is worth a

medicine cabinet full of pills.

Age 52

I've learned that regardless of your relationship with

your parents, you miss them terribly after they die.

Age 53

I've learned that making a living is not the same thing

as making a life.

Age 58

I've learned that if you want to do something positive

for your children, try to improve your marriage.

Age 61

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second

chance.

Age 62

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a

catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to

throw something back.

Age 64

I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude

you. But if you focus on your family, the needs of others,

your work, meeting new people, and doing the very best

you can, happiness will find you.

Age 65

I've learned that whenever I decide something with

kindness, I usually make the right decision.

Age 66

I've learned that everyone can use a prayer.

Age 72

I've learned that it pays to believe in miracles. And to

tell the truth, I've seen several.

Age 73

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to

be one.

Age 82

I've learned that every day you should reach out and

touch someone. People love that human touch - holding

hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

Age 85

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

Age 92

Please pass this on to someone you care about.

Sometimes they just need a little something to make

them smile...

Maybe........

Maybe... We meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so

that, when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be

greatful for that gift.

Maybe...when the door of happiness closes, another opens; but, often

times, we look so long at the closed door that we don't even see the

new one which has been opened for us.

Maybe... it is true that we don't know what we have got until we lose

it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing

until it arrives.

Maybe... the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of

everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along

their way.

Maybe... you should dream what you want to dream; go where you want

to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one

chance to do all the things you dream of and want to do.

Maybe... there are moments in life when you miss someone -- a parent,

a spouse, a friend, a child -- so much that you just want to pick

them from your dreams and hug them for real.

Maybe... the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch

and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it

was the best conversation you've ever had.

Maybe... you should always try to put yourself in others' shoes. If

you feel that something could hurt you, it probably will hurt the

other person, too.

Maybe... you should do something nice for someone every single

day,even if it is simply to leave them alone.

Maybe... giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they

will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to

grow in their heart; but, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in

yours.

Maybe... you shouldn't go for looks; they can deceive; Don't go for

wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile,

because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find

the one that makes your heart smile.
