Dad's are special people too...

When I was:

Four years old: My Daddy can do anything.

Five years old: My Daddy knows a whole lot.

Six years old: My Dad is smarter than your dad.

Eight years old: My Dad doesn't know exactly everything.

Ten years old: In the olden days, when my Dad grew up, things were sure different.

Twelve years old: Oh, well, naturally, Dad doesn't know anything about that. He is too old to remember his childhood.

Fourteen years old: Don't pay any attention to my Dad. He is so old-fashioned.

Twenty-one years old: Him? My Lord, he's hopelessly out of date.

Twenty-five years old: Dad knows about it, but then he should, because he has been around so long.

Thirty years old: Maybe we should ask Dad what he thinks. After all, he's had a lot of experience.

Thirty-five years old: I'm not doing a single thing until I talk to Dad.

Forty years old: I wonder how Dad would have handled it. He was so wise.

Fifty years old: I'd give anything if Dad were here now so I could talk this over with him. Too bad I didn't appreciate how smart he was. I could have learned a lot from him.

Just be thankful...

Did you thank them? Did you give them that smile? How about that little compliment to make their day?

Well, if not, you should. You owe them. Maybe for yesterday or maybe for tomorrow.

A little goes a long way. You reap what you sow. If you haven't been planting seeds, you probably won't be harvesting.

It takes so little to lift another. Try it, you'll like it! A windfall is right around the corner. How long is your block?
