A Few Of Life's Lessons...

I received an email a while back that was written by a 90 year old woman named Regina Brett. I scanned it and thought it was cute but never really "read" it. I received it a second time and actually took the time to read it. There are few of them that, no matter how hard you try, you feel you might not be able to accomplish but it can't hurt to at least make the effort! I hope you enjoy this as much as I did! Life is short......LIVE IT!!!!
