ENLIGHTENED PERSPECTIVE

Please Read all the way to the bottom: If you will take the time to

read these, I promise you'll come away with an enlightened

perspective. The subjects covered affect us all on a daily basis:

They're written by Andy Rooney , a man who has the gift of saying so

much with so few words. Enjoy........

of an elderly person.

the strength to help him in some other way.

be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.

and a heart to understand.

I've learned.... That simple walks with my father around the block on

summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an adult.

we ask for.

so spectacular.

to be appreciated and loved.

I've learned.... That to ignore the facts does not change the facts.

I 've learned.... That when you plan to get even with someone, you are

only letting that person continue to hurt you.

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 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 it.

I've learned.... That the less time I have to work with, the more

things I get done.

To all of you.... Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence.

Although it is not National Friendship Week. 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.

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK MY FRIEND!!!!!!

YOU ARE MY FRIEND AND I AM HONORED BY THAT FRIENDSHIP!

Share this with friends and family you love. This was sent to me by a

very special friend.
