1 - All living things have an inherent nobility and deserve respect.
2 - If you don’t look, you’ll never see. If you don’t listen, you’ll never hear. If you don’t slow down regularly and stop occasionally, you’ll go nuts.
3 - Women and men are different.
4 - No treasure is more dear than a true friend.
5 - Despite radical differences among breeds, all dogs excel at companionship.
6 - Baseball is a beautiful game.
7 - Fishing helps me stay in tune with Nature and hence, myself.
8 - Service to others is our most noble calling.
9 - Children know important things that most of us have forgotten.
10 - Newsprint gets smaller and blurrier once you turn 50.
I was going to elaborate on each, briefly, but of course I started running off at the brain and quickly realized I’d tax your patience (and risk numbing your lips) if I did. So, maybe I will on a few of them in a day or three. Or not. Maybe they don’t need no steenkin’ elaboration.
We’ll see.

I do like No. 2.
Same with No. 8.
:)
There is truth here.
I agree with the list, and still would love you to elaborate, please :).
You're right, Frank. And no elaboration required.
Ten excellent observations!
As someone said once, "Truer words was never spoke."
I agree except the fishing thing doesn't apply to me. Insert gardening on my behalf...:)
Frank, brevity is sometimes best. You matched my sentiments in all of these, friend.
BTW, love, love, love the photo at the top of your blog. Incredible beauty.
You sure nailed most of them. I'll just have to take your word for it about baseball. :)
I'm happy you like, Althea. Thanks for letting me know. :)
Glad you agree, Lori. :)
I'll mull, Meredith. Thanks. :)
Thanks Leah. (Your vote may cancel Meredith's.) ;)
Thanks bobbie. You're a peach for saying so. :)
That works, Ava. Nice to see you again, stranger. :)
I really like it too Mary. I'll keep it a while. Have to admit I like being able to change stuff around now and again, though. Nice to hear from you. :)
Yeah, Hil. And I know what that "word" sounds like to you. (Blah-blah-blah....) :)
Good list from 1-9; #10 hits close to home, as I am living proof of it LOL...
Frank, true statements from a wise man.
Skunkfeathers, I think most of us old farts are living proof of that one. ;)
Why thank you, Barbara. I've rarely been accused of being wise. ;)
Superb list, Frank.
I'm particularly fond of #3, considering how much pointless time and effort some folks put into trying to convince the world we should be the same.
Thanks Charlie. :)
other than changing baseball to football this list is perfect
...or to HOCKEY. :)
Dianne, Charlie, both your candidates are worthy.
As is womens' beach volleyball come to think of it....
Hmm I should bookmark this post and make Elspeth read it when she's old enough... I'm a bit disappointed that she's 8 weeks old now and still can't read. :(
Not that you're a tad impatient or anything, Stace.... ;)
I agree with #1. I love #2,8, & 9. But I must say, number three is so deep it is almost philosophical... Women and men are different... There is more truth in that statement than in many books. Thanks for the top ten list.
Thanks for the visit and kind words Jason. :)
