Back 9  Staff: Here are a few words of wisdom offered by one of our readers.  We found ourselves smiling and remembering a few more that had been shared with us during our upbringing as well.  We recommend you take a moment and read a few on the list over the course of several weeks to let them revive the some of the teachings your parents shared along the way.  These little diddys may well bring a smile your way or a chuckle in your heart.  You may also decide to share a few of your own with the rest of us!  We have decided to keep this as a “running” list, so don’t forget to revisit it from time to time!
