Other People's Thoughts

I've been struck today by thoughts from other people.  Like these:

• "If it ain't good news, I don't want to hear it!"

• He decided to keep in touch with his daughter by sending her a text every single day.  (I thought I might try this on someone I wish would keep in better touch.  Wondered if I might be perceived as a pain if I did.  Probably, so maybe I won't.)

• "You have to pick the hard (things in life) that will make you happiest.  If you can stop looking for easy, your happiness will come that much sooner."

• Be patient.  (That one's a real difficulty for me....)

• And this one by Thornton Wilder:  "There is a land of the living, and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning."

Tonight I'm grateful for wisdom, and those who are willing to share their portion.
