DIRT ROADS

What's mainly wrong with society today is that too many Dirt Roads have been paved.

There's not a problem in America today, crime, drugs, education, divorce, delinquency that wouldn't be remedied, if we just had more Dirt Roads, because Dirt Roads give character.

People that live at the end of Dirt Roads learn early on that life is a bumpy ride.

That it can jar you right down to your teeth sometimes, but it's worth it, if at the end is home...a loving spouse, happy kids and a dog.

We wouldn't have near the trouble with our educational system if our kids got their exercise walking a Dirt Road with other kids, from whom they learn how to get along.

There was less crime in our streets before they were paved.

Criminals didn't walk two dusty miles to rob or rape, if they knew they'd be welcomed by 5 barking dogs and a double barrel shotgun.

And there were no drive by shootings.

Our values were better when our roads were worse!

People did not worship their cars more than their kids, and motorists were more courteous, they didn't tailgate by riding the bumper or the guy in front would choke you with dust & bust your windshield with rocks.

Dirt Roads taught patience.

Dirt Roads were environmentally friendly, you didn't hop in your car for a quart of milk you walked to the barn for your milk.

For your mail, you walked to the mail box.

What if it rained and the Dirt Road got washed out? That was the best part, then you stayed home and had some family time, roasted marshmallows and popped popcorn and pony rode on Daddy's shoulders and learned how to make prettier quilts than anybody.

At the end of Dirt Roads, you soon learned that bad words tasted like soap.

Most paved roads lead to trouble, Dirt Roads more likely lead to a fishing creek or a swimming hole.

At the end of a Dirt Road, the only time we even locked our car was in August, because if we didn't some neighbor would fill it with too much zucchini.

At the end of a Dirt Road, there was always extra springtime income, from when city dudes would get stuck, you'd have to hitch up a team and pull them out.

Usually you got a dollar...always you got a new friend...at the end of a Dirt Road!

Life Lessons

I've learned
that you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life.

I've learned
that it's taking me a long time
to become the person I want to be.

I've learned
that you should always leave loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.

I've learned
that you can keep going
long after you think you can't.

I've learned
that we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel.

I've learned
that either you control your attitude
or it controls you.

I've learned
that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first,
the passion fades and there had better be
something else to take its place.

I've learned
that heroes are the people who do what has to be done,
when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I've learned
that money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I've learned
that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing
and have the best time.

I've learned
that sometimes the people y ou expect to kick you when you're down,
will be the ones to help you get back up.

I've learned
that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I've learned
that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.

I've learned
that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to,
doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

I've learned
that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had
and what you've learned from them and less to do with
how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I've learned
that your family won't always be there for you. It may seem funny,
but people you aren't related to can take care of you and love you
and teach you to trust people again. Families aren't biological.

I've learned
that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you
every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I've learned
that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I've learned
that no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I've learned
that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become.

I've learned
that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I've learned
that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I've learned
that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret.
It could change your life forever.

I've learned
that two people can look at the exact same thing
and see something totally different.

I've learned
that your life can be changed in a matter of hours
by people who don't even know you.

I've learned
that even when you think you have no more to give,
when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

I've learned
that credentials on the wall do not make you
a decent human being.

I've learned
that the people you care about most in life
are taken from you too soon.

GOT THIS EMAIL AND THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE IT WITH U

A Friend

(Carol Elaine Faivre-Scott)

Each of us has a hidden place
Somewhere deep within ourselves;
A place where we go to get away,
To think things through,
To be alone, to be ourselves.

This unique place, where we confront our deepest feelings,
Becomes a storehouse of all our hopes,
All our needs, all our dreams,
And even our unspoken fears.
It encompasses the essence of who we are and what we want to be.

But now and then, whether by chance or design,
Someone discovers a way into that place we thought was ours alone.
And we allow that person to see, to feel and to share
All the reason, all the uncertainty
And all the emotion we've stored up there.

That person adds new perspective to our hidden realm,
Then quietly settles down in his own corner of our special place,
Where a bit of himself will stay forever.
And we call that person a friend.
