The following entry is from Deborah, who is one of those lovely people you instantly feel drawn to. She's from Great Britain, so imagine the following pearls relayed with a beautiful, elegant, British accent....
My Grandmother meant the world to me, her passing a year after my marriage left me utterly devastated. That was fifteen years ago, and it still hurts. She was not only my Grandmother, but my best friend, she taught me to love unconditionally and furnished me with endless wisdom, she was a remarkable woman and I miss her dearly. I hope I have managed to pass on to my children at least some of what she taught me, I know I hear myself saying to them things she would often say to me. So I would like to share them with you, my Grandmother’s ‘pearls of wisdom’.
Always have faith, hope and love in your life.
Respect your elders,
Look to the young for your example, they have no preconceptions, their innocence is beautiful to behold.
Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
What goes around comes around.
Never judge a book by its cover.
All that glitters isn’t gold.
Be nice to people on the way up, because you might meet them on the way down.
The glass is always half full – no question!
Boredom is not in our dictionary.
Live each day as if it were your last.
I have always tried to live my life with these pearls ever present in my mind.
Deborah
