Happy Father’s Day


Happy Father’s Day

Today’s quote is about how it is the “scraps of wisdom” given to us by our fathers at random moments that shape and color our lives - the teachable moments when they aren’t consciously trying to teach us. I know this is true.  It is not the big lectures or special birthday presents or even the walk down the aisle that become the most meaningful moments we receive from our dads.

Instead, it is the odd moment, the chance remark, or the flashback memory of a walk in the woods that continues to influence us. The power of these little “scraps” surface throughout our lives, whether our father is still with us on earth or not.

Cherish these bits and pieces, even though they may not seem like anything at the time. They will come back to you, many times throughout your life.

Happy Father’s Day, Daddy - and thank you.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Father’s Day Secret #1:  
“Cherish your father’s scraps of wisdom.”

Quote of the Day:
““I believe that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they aren't trying to teach us. We are formed by little scraps of wisdom.”
