Hoping I make someone smile

Hoping I make someone smile

When someone is speaking don’t turn to your friend and smile and wink, you probably are not nearly as smart as you think yourself to be

You can educate a fool and what you have is an educated fool

Be thankful for the opportunities you have had and understand that there are others who have not had those same opportunities

It is okay to critique but not necessary to criticize, there is a difference

Be careful whom you laugh at, you never know your future

Be careful of labeling people it just might expose your ignorance

You say “I am only Human”…being human is a privilege, not an excuse. Christ died for the human beings

Be careful to  whom you say “I love you”. It can backfire

If everyone you come in contact with doesn’t like you, get over it and move on

When someone walks into a room don’t suddenly quit talking

Don’t let the clutch out on your mouth without your brain being in gear

Whatever someone fears may not be real, however the fear is real

Not all people get up early in the morning, and yet, they are good people

Because a food tastes good to you doesn’t mean everyone else will like it

Learn to walk away politely from an argument

Keep your feet dry in cold weather

Your convictions are worth fighting for, your preferences are not

 Hold fast to the things which are good for you and those around you

You don’t have to laugh at dirty jokes

Everyone should ride their own bicycle

If you don’t like someone it is not necessary to tell others you don’t like that person

Do not start a conversation with “Don’t repeat this but……”

You are not the busiest person in the world, so quit acting as though you are

If everything must have a beginning, then there must have been a time when there was nothing. However, not even one thing can evolve from nothing…….Huh?

Always make sure you have a good winter coat

Make your snow ice cream before you let the dogs out 

If there is a food that you really enjoy don’t eat it too often, then when you do eat it, it will be a treat

Don’t let a large round bale of hay roll over you (spoken from experience)

Every storm passes

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday

Don’t sleep under a tree when it is lightening

Always carry a salt shaker when going near vine ripened tomatoes

Don’t wear an ice skate on one foot and a cowboy boot on the other foot to your child’s first Parent/teacher conference

A dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp knife

Make your ice cubes from clean water

Don’t go to sleep on your bicycle while riding down a steep hill 

Practice spitting watermelon seeds

Play catch with a toddler

Memorize the books of the Bible

Look through a microscope

Don’t wear flip flops in deep snow

Always whittle away from your self

Clean your room

Always walk on your side of the road

Help someone who needs help but doesn’t ask for help

Hold the door open for others

It is my contention that sardines were not meant to be eaten on graham crackers

Telling others how awful you feel won’t make you feel better

Notice the beautiful and funny things as you go through life

If you have a tendency to talk in your sleep try to stay awake during church service

If you must practice doing cartwheels in the grocery store, stay in the paper goods isle

Sit on the porch after dark and listen to the night sounds
