Things Worth Remembering

The three habits that lead to success are: Patience, Application, and Vision.

Take care: The person who will tell others' faults to you - will tell yours to others.

It is always better to be underestimated.

There are three things that are better than riches: Health, Freedom, and Honor.

Think swiftly, speak softly, act wisely.

You’re lucky you don’t taste very good.

I stopped dead in my tracks today, cleaning up after dinner. Padawan Learner said, “That was a good salad tonight, mom.” Greens have been very safe up to this point, from the voracious appetite of my 13 year old.

    Your teen boy actually EATS your salad? Well, you need to throw a party for him.

    Baby Boy just pushes mine over to the side.

    For some reason, he does like lettuce, but will only eat it if it’s NOT made into a salad . . . so I have to tear and wash lettuce, set it aside for him to eat, and then make a separate salad for the rest of the family.

    Boys.

    Even worse . . . Moms who indulge said boys. (sheepish/guilty smiley)
