What I've Been Reading

All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten by Robert Fulghum. It's a classic - funny, smart and witty. 
  • Share everything.
  • Play fair.
  • Don’t hit people.
  • Put things back where you found them.
  • Clean up your own mess.
  • Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.
  • When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.
  • Live a balanced life— learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
  • Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup— they all die. So do we.

It’s almost impossible to go through life all alone. We need to find our support group— family, friends, companion, therapy gatherings, team, church or whatever. The kindergarten admonition applies as long as we live: “When you go out into the world, hold hands and stick together.” It’s dangerous out there— lonely, too. Everyone needs someone. Some assembly is always required.
