Formula for Living

If you know me well you know I love to read. I'll read just about anything I can get my hands on. Al picked up the magazine Middle Tennessee Sports when we were walking by Dick's Sporting Goods the other day. I was reading it on our way home and read a really great article Rudy Kalis wrote about Jimmy Gentry. Jimmy Gentry coached football for 63 years. Now, semi-retired, he shared with Rudy his formula for living:

• The five most important words: "I am proud of you."
• The four most important words: "May I help you."
• The three most important words: "I love you."
• The two most important words: "Thank you."
• The most important word: "We" not I can do it together.

Isn't that so true? The article also included the following:

We are all shaped by the events of our lives. It's the lessons we learn from those experiences, good and bad, that define who we are and the legacy we pass on to others.

I agree completely.

If you get a chance to pick up the magazine (it's free!), read the entire article. It's a good one!

My camera is still not working! But, it should be on Friday (I hope!). I miss it so badly! I feel like I've missed so much over the last few days! I've tried using the video camera to take pics and it's just not up to par!
