Consider this quote from Abe Lincoln

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

 

 

It is always nice to have a birthday roll around and realize that you’ve lived a year longer than your parents said you were when you were little. In fact I not only made it past twelve but I’ve almost quadrupled it. As I like to do, I feel the need to look back at year 43 of my existence on this big blue marble and take stock in what I have learned.

So sit back and let’s take a trip through my year with “Things Weez learned this year”.

  1. I’ve learned that pickled items…herring, beets, cauliflower…get more desirable the older I get.

  2. I’ve learned that there is still no one who can sing like Johnny Cash.

  3. I’ve learned that when you live alone the only way the dishes get washed is if you do it.

  4. I’ve learned that even when you let things go, sometimes they don’t let you go.

  5. I’ve learned that having a few close friends can really be better than having a million that you never talk to.

  6. I’ve learned that God loves us, and shows us every time we eat bacon.

  7. I’ve learned that I’m still not at the age that I can get away saying inappropriate things.

  8. I’ve learned what De Colores means.

  9. I’ve learned that when you have a son you only have to worry about one boy, but when you have a daughter you have to worry about ALL of the boys.

  10. I’ve learned that it’s never too late to come to your senses and become conservative.

  11. I’ve learned that I sleep better when I wash my bed sheets every week, weather they need it or not.

  12. I’ve learned that staying up all night with a group of teenagers can make you feel young and old at the same time.

  13. I’ve learned that lies can live forever.

  14. I’ve learned that I’m too old.

  15. I’ve learned that I don’t have to spend a million dollars to be a great Dad.

  16. I’ve learned it is possible to have a job you love.

  17. I’ve learned that nothing can heal a person like the grace of God.

  18. And finally I’ve learned that I’m just me, and in the end I’m the only person who has to like me.

See you next week….remember, we’re all in this together.
