Being a caretaker for a crabby male has taught me a few things:
"I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one". (I put this in big block letters for hubs.)
"I've learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone". (Yeah beware of flying objects today.)
"I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you". (I will add beware of what you wish for.)
"I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back". (see above)
