Thought of the day

Enlightened perspective
By Andy Rooney

• That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.
• That when you're in love, it shows.
• That just one person saying to me, "You've made my day!" makes my day.
• That having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.
• That being kind is more important than being right.
• That you should never say no to a gift from a child.
• That I can always pray for someone when I don't have the strength to help him in some other way.
• That no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.
• That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.
• That simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an adult.
• That life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
• That we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for.
• That money doesn't buy class.
• That it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular
