Last week this website made the change to wordpress. Most of the postings on this site are coming from my old blog. I am picking and choosing my favorites.
A Note from the Attic
Recently, my 95 year old grandmother passed away in Florida. While my siblings, cousins and I were helping my mom pack up her house, I found this old piece of paper in the attic. I did change a couple of words because it was circa 1913 and I had no clue what they meant until I looked it up in the dictionary.
Boys, you will get out of life just what you put into it. A smile and a kind word will be repaid in kind. A brooding and grouchy disposition reaps similar fruits throughout life. Labor diligently with your studies and play just as hard after school. Many a man owes his success in life to the buddy of his school days. Learn to lead clean and wholesome lives. Become thoroughly saturated with the love of country. Always salute her glorious flag, which ever waves for freedom and liberty. And strive to live all your days that they will end in peace and happiness.
Still as powerful today as it was over 90 years ago.
