Pearls of Wisdom

I've been thinking about the content for this blog for a few days now.  I can remember growing up, and my parents, grandparents, or older adults having sayings for just about everything.  As a child and even as a teenager, I can recall rolling my eyes and catching an attitude sometimes, because I did not want to hear it.  Now, as an adult, I realize that these were what I now call Pearls of Wisdom.  These pearls were told out of love, and to educate me to be a better human being.  As a parent, now I find myself passing down a few pearls! 

Here are a few of the Pearls of Wisdom that I can recall:

• A hard head makes a soft behind.
• A penny saved is a penny earned.
• What's done in the dark will come to light.
• Nothing beats a try but a fail.
• Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.  (This one really got my eyes to rolling!)
• I'm too old of a cat to be fooled by a kitten.
• Pretty is as pretty does, and pretty can be pretty ugly.
• You get out of something what you put into it.
• God don't like ugly, and he's not too fond of pretty.
• All smiling faces are not smiling.
• All closed eyes are not sleep.
• Choose your words wisely or they can come back to bite you in the butt!
• A fool and their money are soon parted.
• Be mindful of the company you keep.

The list goes on and on..........As an adult, I appreciate these pearls and now I have the sense to take heed to them.!
