WITandWISDOM(tm) - December 28, 1999 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: "The one law that does not change is that everything changes, and the hardships I was bearing today was only a breath away from the pleasures I would have tomorrow, and those pleasures would be all the richer because of the memories of this I was enduring." - Louis L'Amour (E-zine: AMERICA'S QUOTE Mailto:subscribe-quotes@listserv.salko.com) ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: I was cleaning out the pockets of my six-year-old's winter coat, when I found a pair of mittens in each pocket. Thinking that one pair must not be enough to keep her hands warm, I asked her why she was carrying two pairs of mittens in her coat. She replied, "I've been doing that for a long time, Mom. You see, some kids come to school without mittens and if I carry another pair, I can share with them and then their hands won't get cold."

This will keep them looking freshly sliced (and more appetizing!) much longer. The Learn Letter, Copyright 1999, Panmedia Corporation. All rights reserved. ( |
