There once was a man and woman who had been married for more than 50 years.
They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept
no secrets from each other except the shoebox that the little old woman
kept in the top of her closet. She had cautioned her husband never to open
it or ask her about.
For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day,
the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.
While trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man removed the
shoebox and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that
he should know what was in the box.
When he opened it, he found two crocheted doilies and a stack of money
totaling $25,000. He asked her about the contents.
"When we were to be married," she said, "my grandmother told me the secret
of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got
angry with you I should just keep quiet and crochet a doily."
The little old man was so moved, he had to fight back tears. Only two
precious doilies were in the box. She had only been angry with him two
times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with
happiness.
"Honey," he said, "that explains the doilies, but what about all of this
money? Where did it come from?"
"Oh," she said, " that's the money I made from selling the doilies."

Write your quotations on the NewThought WhiteBoard which awaits your words
of wisdom at every NewThought SundayService. Share your own, or the words of others.
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,
reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others. Via Cary Vigneri
