Wisdom of the Ages

Janet in Colorado also left a contribution for Wisdom of the Ages project, it reads:

I can do most anything for an hour. As long as I know there’s a time limit, I seem to be able to step up and do disagreeable things cheerfully…for an hour or so. A close second would be that problems that look insurmountable at 3 a.m. are going to look much more managable at 7 a.m.

Another email contribution for Wisdom of the Ages project arrived from Luthorienne, it reads:

I’ve learned that my wealth must be measured by the things I have for which I would not take money. I’ve learned that, if I can get to the end of my life and have put more into the world than I have taken out of it, I will have been a success. I’ve learned that doing a kindness for another person enriches my life more than any material gain possibly could. And I’ve learned that God could have made us perfect, but didn’t, and that He only expects us to do our best.

Lela Popp a stitcher from Minnesota emailed me with a contribution for Wisdom of the Ages project, it reads:

What I have learned about life: Every life will have its setbacks. When they happen it is important to remember that:
No one can go back to create a new beginning, BUT everyone can go forward to create a new ending!

From Glenys Wild for the Wisdom of the Ages project, it reads:

“No one can make you feel inferior without your permission” (Eleanor Roosevelt).

From Linda S for the Wisdom of the Ages project, it reads:

“Never spend time around people who make you feel bad about yourself.” Life is made up of the choices we make and one of those choices is how to make the most of our happy times.

I have just had an email from Emmy Schoonbeek a Dutch crazy quilter with a contribution to Wisdom of the Ages project, it reads:

My Mother had always things to say but one thing I always remember

Don’t get annoyed
Be surprised
