She always had a way of saying things that made perfect sense, had infallible logic, and left you seeing the world just a little bit differently. For years, I have threatened to write down some of her pearls of wisdom, and share them with the world.
So tonight, in her honor, I've decided to put a few of my favorite sayings here. Not all of them may be original to her, but no one who knew her could imagine anyone saying it better...
"There's nothing uglier in the world, than a pretty woman who knows she's pretty." Don't be vain or conceited.
"If you're going to slap a skunk, don't complain about the smell." Don't start trouble, if you can't handle the consequences.
"A hit dog hollers." Guilty people tend to make the most noise, or deny their crimes the loudest.
"If it's worth whispering, it ain't worth hearing." Don't gossip or keep secrets.
"A marriage only works, when you both realize you're riding the same horse." Learn to compromise and stop arguing with your spouse.
"Just because something is true, doesn't mean it needs to be said out loud." Show some tact and restraint.
"If you pray, why worry? If you worry, why pray?" Trust in the Lord, and leave it in his hands.
"What is the sun, to a world that never rains?" Use the bad times to appreciate the good.
"No one wants to hear about what you've done, or what you plan to do. All they care about is what you're doing now." Being a person of character, and living in the now.
"There's a thin line between cocky and confident, and that line is called ability." Don't brag on yourself, prove what you say.
There are many more, and maybe someday I'll get around to putting them in a new post. But, until then, I hope you enjoyed reading these as much as I used to enjoy hearing them.
Miss you Granny and love you. God bless.
