The Flame Continues - Birthday Candles

What have I learned in my 55 years? Not nearly enough I fear, but certainly this: In a world chock-full of options, a little patience and some prayerful thought and trust get us the divine guidance we need to make the right choices. My life is nothing like I thought it would be when I was dreaming in my 20s. It is, however, much better than I ever imagined. Each new day is a gift.

I have learned to try to smile at every one I come in contact with. I heard somewhere that when you smile, you are giving that person a gift.

OK, one of the things I learned is not to expect people to be grateful.
When you give something just give it and let go.

As for life's lessons, I guess I'd have to say I've learned that life
definitely isn't fair. You just make the best of every situation, and with
God's help, move on.
And, I've learned that it is far more rewarding to give rather than receive.

So true ... when i look at liitle kids playing sports .. they all make tons of mistakes, but the ones that are considered "good" have confidence. You have to take risks, attitude is everything, you should be grateful for the good things you have ... and it IS better to give than to recieve...(sheesh it took years of recieving total crap from my family who clearly never understood me to finally realize that!).
