46/365 - I've Learned

“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.”
