Robert Faughum wrote All I Ever Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. " Most of what I really need to know about life, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the tip of the graduate school mountain, but here in the sandbox at nursery school. These are the things I learned: - Share everything. - Play fair. - Don't hit people. - Put things back where you found them. - Clean up your own mess. - Don't take things that aren't yours. - Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. - Wash your hands before you eat. - Flush! - Live a balanced life. - Learn and think, draw and paint, sing and dance, play and work a little every day. - When you get out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands, and stick together. Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic cup. The roots go down and the plant goes up, and nobody really knows why, but we are all like that. Goldfish, hamsters, white mice, and even the little seed in the plastic cup—they al...

Think Positive !! I am thankful... 1. For the husband who snores all night, because he is at home asleep w ith me and not with someone else. This is nice - finding positive out of every negative - which we don't always manage to do . 2. For my teenage daughter who is complaining about doing dishes, because that means she is at home & not on the streets. 3. For the taxes that I pay because it means that I am employed. 4. For the mess to clean after a party because it means that I have been surrounded by friends. 5. For the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat. 6.

For all the complaining I hear about the government because it means that we have freedom of speech. 9. For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walkin...
