I’VE LEARNED THAT….

The best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.

When you’re in love, it shows.

Just one person saying to me, ‘You’ve made my day!’ makes my day.

Having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.

Being kind is more important than being right.

You should never say no to a gift from a child.

I can always pray for someone when I don’t have the strength to help him in some other way.

No matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.

Sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.

That life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

We should be glad God doesn’t give us everything we ask for.

Money doesn’t buy class.

It’s those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.

Under everyone’s hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.

To ignore the facts does not change the facts.

When you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.

Love, not time, heals all wounds.

The easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.

Everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile.

No one is perfect until you fall in love with them.

Life is tough, but I’m tougher.

Opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.

When you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.

I wish I could have told my Mom that I love her one more time before she passed away.

One should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.

A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

When your newly born grandchild holds your little finger in his little fist, you’re hooked for life.

Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it.

The less time I have to work with, the more things I get done.

Doilies

November 22, 2025November 21, 2025 tolleystopicsLeave a comment

There once was a man and a woman who had been married for more than 60 years. They talked about everything. They kept no secrets from each other… except that the old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she cautioned her husband never to open it or ask her about it.

For all these years he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would never recover.

In trying to sort out their affairs the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife’s bedside. She agreed it was time that he should know what was in the box.

When he opened it he found 2 beautifully crocheted doilies and a stack of money totaling over $25,000. He asked her about the unusual contents.

“When we were married,” she said, ” my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doily.”

The little old man was so moved, he had to fight back tears. Only two precious doilies were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with joy and happiness.

“Sweetheart,” he said… “that explains the doilies, but what about all this money? Where did it all come from?”

Oh,” she said, ” that’s the money I made from selling the doilies.”

Pass it on!! Give someone else a reason to smile.

The My Home Is My Castle Editor: What do you own, LL ?

I’m A Free Cat: I don’t own anything. About 20 years ago you could buy phonograph records, tapes, and discs of music and songs. You owned them forever and could play them when you wanted. Not anymore.

You could buy a car and own it after about three years, depending on accessories. Now companies don’t want to give you access to the software to repair your own car.

Home ownership is about to be a thing of the past unless you get motivated. Every person in America who thinks for themselves knew that 10 million illegals would need homes or apartments.

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Dione and Rhea Ring Transit
Image Credit & Copyright: Christopher Go

Explanation: Seen to the left of Saturn’s banded planetary disk, small icy moons Dione and Rhea are caught passing in front of the gas giant’s extensive ring system in this sharp telescopic snapshot. The remarkable image was recorded on November 20, when Saturn’s rings were nearly edge-on when viewed from planet Earth. In fact, every 13 to 16 years the view from planet Earth aligns with Saturn’s ring plane to produce a series of ring plane crossings. During a ring plane crossing, the interplanetary edge-on perspective makes the thin but otherwise bright rings seem to disappear. By November 23rd Saturn’s rings will have reached a minimum angle for now, at their narrowest for viewing from planet Earth, but then start to widen again. Of course, Dione and Rhea orbit Saturn near the ring plane once every 2.7 and 4.5 days respectively, while the next series of Saturn ring plane crossings as seen from Earth will begin again in 2038.

Tomorrow’s picture: everything, everywhere, all at once
