What I've Learned


1. It's easier for me to be me... I can't be anyone else any better.

2. I hate giving advice because people never take it.

3. I don't like getting advice because I rarely take it.

4. I would prefer if people had no impression of me. I'm never the same person on a given day as I was the day before.

5. A lot of guys get to be middle-aged and then they discover their romantic side.

6. Sometimes the power of laughter helps you get through a tragedy.

7. A birthday present (from anyone, I get so few) can still excite me even at my age!

8. A Christmas present (from a thoughtful person) can still excite me at my age!

9. Some of the worst people I've ever met in life were people that everybody loved, but didn't really know.

10. Prayer really does work!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: There are times when I feel completely helpless to alter the circumstances in my life. I am powerless to turn around a bad economy, or ensure a favorable report from my doctor, or guarantee my spouse will always love me, or make sure I am never in an accident. When I sense that I have no control over what is occurring in my life, my energy lags and fear and frustration begin to overwhelm me. Let your spirit of peace spill freely over me until I recover my inner calm. Help me remember that it is not control that gives me peace, but knowing that I am loved and beloved by the heart of heaven. Amen.
