All I ever really needed to learn

I learned in Kindergarten

Many years ago I came across this lovely piece by Robert Fulghum. I am pretty sure you are all familiar with it. However, what happens to me is that no matter how many times I've read it, no matter how much trouble is going on in my life, no matter how old or tired or overwhelmed I am, whenever I come across it again, I cannot help but enjoy, smile and feel better inside. Hope you can do so too!
Hugs, kisses and stories in your fields... So long!

Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain but there in the sandbox at nursery school.

These are the things I learned: Share everything. Play fair. Don't hit people. (...) Live a balanced life. Learn some, think some, draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.

Take a nap every afternoon. When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands and stick together. (...)

Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup - they all die. So do we. (...)

Think of what a better world it would be if we all - the whole world - had cookies and milk at about 3 o'clock every afternoon and then lay down with our blankets for a nap. Or if we had a basic policy in our nation and other nations to always put things back where we found them and cleaned up our own messes. And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.
