Grim times.....

There have been some posts recently from some people who are having/going through some tough times. I've had a pretty rough time lately with the head...but, like everything does, it's improving.
This piece of paper hangs on my daughter's wall, and I usually pass by without a look. Today, I read it again, and it struck me as very appropriate.
I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life
does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she
handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your
parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.
I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a
"life."
I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
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.
I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually
make the right decision.
I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.
I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what
you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
To the very special people who have helped me recently....thanks.
