WHAT I HAVE LEARNED..... Part 2 of 2
I've learned that singing "Amazing Grace" can lift my spirits for hours. - Age 49
I've learned that motel mattresses are better on the side away from the phone. - Age 50

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. - Age 62
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back. - Age 64
I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. However, if you focus on your family, the needs of others, your work, meeting new people, and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you. - Age 65
I've learned that whenever I decide something with kindness, I usually make the right decision. - Age 66

~~~~~~~ KEEP SMILING:
A blind man and his guide dog went into a department store to do some shopping. all of a sudden, the man picked his dog up by the tail and started swinging him around in circles. A sales clerk who noticed this, rushed up to the man and said, "Sir! Is there anything I can help you with?!" to which the blind man replied, "No thanks, just looking around."

~~~~~~~ TRIVIA:
Waterjet cutting is an amazing technology that pumps water so quickly that it can cut through metal. These speeds are achieved by forcing water through a tiny sapphire hole a tenth of a millimeter across. The water is squeezed at a pressure of up to 60,000 pounds per square inch. (By comparison, the pressure of the atmosphere is only 14 pounds per square inch.) This process creates a thin "water laser" that can cut through steel, plastics, glass, paper, and woven materials without the distortion and shredding produced by normal cutting methods.
