MISTAKES

The mistake is not to accept - there are mistakes.

The mistake is not to learn from mistakes.

The mistake is not to grow in understanding.

The mistake is not to become patient with each other.

The mistake is not to realize trees are crooked.

The mistake is to accept that sidewalks crack.

The mistake is to know that cars get dents.

The mistake is to learn to laugh at oneself.

The mistake is to not accept leakage and crooked legs and arthritic hands.

The mistake is to forget to say, “Sorry. Next time I’ll try to give you a better me and mean it."
