Hi Everyone~wherever you are...More Reflections....in the last few days, I've been thinking...more about what it's-all-about type things. We are all upset and saddened by the market, the general trend of business right now, some "attitudes" around us, and all sorts of other things. Then we get to the important "stuff"...life. We have a good friend who has brain cancer..they operated, and now it has returned. He and his wife are leaving today on a lovely trip for a week, then return back to treatment. The outlook isn't great. BUT, the point is.....they are living their life, as it is given to them, and I feel after talking with them, feel grateful that they actually know the end is closer. And reflecting about that...it does occur to me that that is us, every day....and that of course, we need to live every day as if it's our last. That is a great thought, I think. While I was doing all this reflecting, I thought of Robert Fulgrum, and his basic approach to life, and looked this up to share with you all...my good cyberfriends....some of whom I've had the very good fortune to meet in person. Have a Wonderful Day Today! io.com All I ever needed to know, I learned in Kindergarten Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain, but there in the sand box 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 are sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life. Learn some and think some and draw some and paint and sing and dance and play and work everyday. Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out in 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 how or why. We are like that. And then remember that book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all: LOOK! Everything you need to know is there somewhere. The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation, ecology, and politics and the sane living. Think of what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap. Or we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always put things back where we found them and clean up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out in the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together. --- Robert Fulghum
