My Life Lessons Meet - Dr. Sandra Becker - "I start each day with a prayer of gratitude that I may use my day to the fullest because this day is a gift."
"A great life includes financial security, a loving marriage and an opportunity to live in harmony with my neighbors."
"Love is a sharing between people of feelings and thoughts. Love is a feeling deep within inside of you that you do not need words to express yourself."
"Love thy neighbor. Life can be rough, but I learned that no matter how people act to you or what they say, there is always a good part to people, you just have to find it."
My Life Lessons Project - Meet Dr. George Gerhart "Over the years I have learned to believe in people and and trust them at the outset, in some circles there is an axiom that ‘you must earn my trust’ – I think about it differently, I believe you have to earn my distrust."
My Life Lessons Project - Meet Jane Blair "My Father taught me that I am not the only pebble on the beach, I need to meet people and try to understand them and learn from them.
My Life Lessons Project - Showcasing Senior Adults - Meet Clarence "Dutch" Glauner "Deep love means to me that you actually loved a person. My wife and I loved each other for 78 years and we never had a disagreement!"
"The dictionary says love is intense affection, to me it means to put people ahead of yourself, to put their needs ahead of your own."
"My greatest life lesson is making possibilities out of difficult situations."
"Life was not easy, but it was wonderful!" "We need to learn not just to take but to give."
