Third Man"My father didn't tell me how to live;
he lived, and let me watch him do it."
---Clarence Budington Kelland
Ten things my dad taught by example:
- Love your spouse.
- Include your kids.
- Sing.
- Remember old friends.
- Dream big.
- Pray.
- Honor your parents.
- Work hard.
- Believe in yourself.
- Have fun!
(I'm just counting my blessings.)

What a great picture of your dad! I loved him, in spite of his constant teasing. He was so great.
Teaching by example is the very best way!
I learned from less than stellar examples but I did learm a lot.
learned to have fun and have a positive outlook! (what do you mean he didn't tell us how to live? what about lectures #150, #375, #2,458...)???
I'm going to print the quote - and hang it on the wall for my dad at the nursing home. He will greatly enjoy it!
Thanks!
My mom taught me to have guests over for Sunday dinner. Especially people you like or are curious about.
