Mr. Fred Rogers is as Wise any Stoic from Centuries Ago"

A dear friend of many years gave me a book The World According to Mr. Rogers, (Important Things to Remember) by Fred Rogers. She knows how much I value children and their well being, she is the same and that is why we are BFF.  The "Foreward" of the book is written by his wife Joanne Rogers and speaks to the purity of this man's love for people, life, and children. Her love for him, his work, and their marriage is a testimony of his remarkable life.  Whenever your spouse sings your praises, you know you are doing something right.

So I have decided to share Mr. Rogers wisdom from his book from time to time, he is no longer with us but some of us will always remember that kind adult in a red sweater who taught us and took us on field trips that schools and family may not have, love the trip to the crayola factory. Thank you Mr. Rogers!

A quote from his book:

"Forgiveness is a strange thing. It can sometimes be easier to forgive our enemies than our friends.  It can be hardest of all to forgive people we love. Like all of life's important coping skills, the ability to forgive and the capacity to let go of resentments most likely take root very early in our lives."

~Fred Rogers

"And what we are not taught at home we learn ourselves later if we seek to learn."
