I DISCOVERED by Joe Vella, Sr.

(Editor's Note: Written by Joe on his 97th Birthday. God Bless You, Joe!)

I DISCOVERED that...

  • the best lessons learned were from a senior person.
  • when you're in love, it glows.
  • it is proper to tell the Lord: 'You've made my day!'
  • when an infant wrap his/her arms around your neck....your  a captive.
  • being gentle and friendly migrates to others.
  • I pray first not second.
  • sometimes all a person needs is faith in the Lord and be willing.
  • my father never gave me a slap I didn't deserve.  
  • life is just a bowl of cherries, just don't choke on the pits.
  • money isn't everything, but is mighty convenient.
  • it's those small daily activities that make the big enchilada.
  • under everyone's hard shell is a pussy cat.
  • a fact is a fact ...period.
  • when you seek revenge, remember: “Forgive us as we forgive those who trespass against us."
  • love, not time heals better than anti-bionics.
  • the sure way for me to elevate my self was to surround myself with people  that I could learn from.
  • improvement and salvation are worthy goals.
  • life is tough, but I am equal to the task.
  • opportunities are in the eyes of the beholder.
  • I wish I had the good sense to tell my Mom how much she meant to me  before she went to heaven
  • one should keep his words both polite and courteous, because tomorrow we may have to eat them.
  • a smile is an more than just your umbrella, it is your signature.
  • everyone takes pride in achievement, but the real pride was in the struggle to attain it. 
  • when I don't have enough time to do the task  the more I accomplish.
  • to make sure you thoroughly read every document you sign. 
  • it is better to give with a warm hand than from your last testament.
  • there is love, religion, and friends, but ranking up there with all of them is FAMILY.

I DISCOVERED THAT... YOU ARE MY  FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND I AM HONORED! OF WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED
