Top Ten : Things I've learned from my dad
- Cussing does make you feel better sometimes.
- The weather is beside the point. If there is something to be done outside, just do it. Wear more clothes if you need to. What do you think rain slickers are for anyway? Stop complaining and get to work.
- Animals can be a whole lot better company than humans sometimes.
- Sincere gratitude is never a bad idea.
- Do it right the first time. Hard work can make you really happy.
- Stuff doesn't not make you happy. More tack however can make work a lot more comfortable. Spending a lot of money on the right thing is not frivolous.
- Those little Dolly Madison apple pies really are good.
- You can learn a lot by watching other professionals in your field very carefully. Probably more by watching than by asking a million questions.
- Forgiveness and understanding are powerful gifts.
- Sometimes distance helps you see (and love) someone more clearly and compassionately.
I love you Dad.
Your blog is great! I just discovered it today. Way to go being early, I bet it felt really good. My baby was born late in life and now I drive all my young friends crazy arriving for playgroups at 10am. But it's good for me and reminds me of my Gram, who always allowed extra time when traveling, in case she passed a farm stand or little shop where she HAD to stop.
ReplyDeleteYou are honoring yourself!
I love that, especially the last one. It's so true right now for me with my love in Oklahoma.
