I've learned...
That life is like a
roll of toilet paper.
The closer it gets
To the end, the
faster it goes.
I've learned...
That we should be
glad God doesn't
give us everything
we ask for.
I've learned...
That money doesn't
buy common sense.
I've learned...
it's those small daily happenings
that make life so
spectacular.
I've learned...
That under everyone's
hard shell is someone
who wants to be
appreciated
and loved.
I've learned...
That to ignore the
facts does not
change the facts.
I've learned...
That the less time
I have to work,
the more things
I get done.
My sister-in-law sent this to me in an email. I shortened the original list and changed a couple words. Remember, getting old is when everything dries up or leaks.
So it helps to learn as much as we can along the way.

smiles. a lot of that holds true in my life as well...happy saturdday techno
I like remembering that under the hard shell is someone who wants to be loved...
hoping not to leak or dry out too much more for a bit...
have a great weekend
I like the one about being glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for. I've learned that one very well. I like the brevity of these little reminders, they can stick better in my leaky brain. :-)
Words of wisdom, for sure!
A lot of wisdom in these few lines (smile). Hope you are enjoying a great weekend, hon.
You make my <3 Heart <3 Happy
Full of truth and wisdom. Good reminders, no matter what age we are.
Much wisdom here.. as I always find in your pages. I hope you're having a great weekend.
So true - especially the toilet paper analogy! It's getting faster and faster to me these days.
Oh, I do sometimes wish that common sense could be sold at a local store! lol!
Thank you, TechnoBabe! I hope you're having a beautiful weekend.
This is my favorite one:

I have to keep my eyes wide open for them!
So true! Thanks for these :-)
Very good reminders!
Well put and the little cartoon is so cute! Good maxims at any age.
Maybe I should rename my blog "still trying to change the facts, by ignoring them".
Getting more done in less time is so true.
Great smile-provoking post. Thanks.
I love this so very much. Thank you for reminding me.
Truths for the ages.
Amusing and true words of wisdom.. thanks for sharing the words and the laughter.
That was fun, thank you for sharing.
this is all so true, it is sad sometimes that some don't realize until it is too late. have a great weekend.
Thanks for sharing these...
Love this, kind of hits close to home. I especially liked the picture of life on wheels. Have a great weekend......:-)Hugs
"I've learned...

I think we all really need to remember that, I think we'd all be a bit more forgiving if we did.
My, but you're a wize old/young bird!
Well said! Ever so true!! Thank you for sharing.
The truth is so obvious once you see it.
Thanks for all the times you share with us!
we can learn a lot if study the toilet paper, eh? ;)
Funny how when you are young you want time to pass quickly and then as you get older you would do anything to have it slow down!
A whole lot of truth in those adages for sure -especially the last one about old age and leaking parts, etc! Got a good chuckle out of that even though I recognized fully the truth in it! Peace!
These are so true! You are so right, it's the small things that make the day spectacular! Happy Sunday to you and yours. XX
Money most definitely doesn't buy common sense!
Love it!! and I am drying up in places and leaking in others!!;)
A lot of good points there "Techie" and very relevant to life.
God certainly does not aleays give us everything we ask for - but he always answers but sometimes with a quiet "No" for our own good. Imagine him letting me be a brain surgeon LOL
I like the toilet paper one but in our house life would be very short because we are always changing it for a new roll. LOL See ya! ~ Eddie
Oh how is hubby getting on with his roast?
This is true, sage wisdom. Excellent reminders!
That was very beautiful! And all very true! Have a good weekend! :)
I seem to have learned that no good deed ever seems to go unpunished.
Man, it IS like a roll of T.P.---it goes faster every year.
I hope your weekend was delightful. :)
HAPPY Sunday.
Love,
Lola
All so true. And it goes by so fast.
"dried out or leaks" reminds me of our old house.
Great wisdom you are sharing with us, but I take exception to the
less time = more things
one. I have suffered through too many managers short of a circus that apply that rule. Schedules are not always that flexible. You can't squeeze 10 lbs of sh** in a 5 lbs bag unless you want 5 lbs of mess to clean up.
all the best
A lot of good adages here. I think I am especially glad that I have not gotten everything I have wishes for.
Very nicely said! Although I have had many days that I feel that my brain is full...but seriously one must keep active. Sorry I haven't been by lately...a little under the weather but I haven't forgotten all my dear blog friends. Will be around again!
love the cartoon of the wheels in our lives.
BRAVO!
All good points, except one: I've learned that ALMOST everybody wants to be appreciated and loved. There are a few people out there who really don't care as long as they're in control. It's best to stay away from them.
All good points, although I take small exception with one: I've learned that ALMOST everybody wants to be apprecited and loved. There are a few people out there who truly don't care how you feel about them as long as they're in control. It's best to avoid those folks, although hard to know in advance.
"Getting old is when everything dries up or leaks." Hahahaha!
You crack me up Techno. Hope life is treating you good.
xo jj
Love it
I'm not leaking or drying out yet, unless you count the recent rains. I like this. I have learned that retirement means staying busy all the time.
"That under everyone's
hard shell is someone
who wants to be
appreciated
and loved."
So true.
Yup to all of these.
I totally identify with that last one; I am so good under pressure, but I hate putting myself in that position. I think a lot of us do that. I wonder about the psychology of that.
Okay, so I just went and googled it and found a very interesting article (in which I saw some parts of myself). http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200308/procrastination-ten-things-know
I'm not a major procrastinator, but I did see myself in some of the article. Are YOU a procrastinator? :)
I have a "life according to me" section in my blog, just some thoughts I come up with while experiencing daily events, and how I decide to face them - based on your post,I think you may like them!

This really is so profound...I've seen it before but not for a long, long time. It's perfect.
