The Tao of Pooh

Anne sent me some of her favorite Pooh-isms, and I wanted to share.

Someone should write one of those books about Pooh - - - you know: "All I Ever Needed to Know, I Learned from Pooh"

Hey! Maybe I'll call my publisher!!!

Happy New Year Y'all!!!!

"A little Consideration, a little Thought for Others, makes all the difference."
"Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering."
""I wonder what Piglet is doing," thought Pooh."I wish I were there to be doing it, too."
"Did you ever stop to think, and forget to start again?"
"Promise me you'll never forget me because if I thought you would I'd never leave."
"Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon."
"Just because an animal is large, it doesn't mean he doesn't want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo."

"If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.""
