My mom is often brilliant. Friends and family recently sent around an email called “Four ’4′s”, one of those get-to-know-you emails where you list off four items from a category. One item was to pick four of the best sayings.

While the rest of us pop-culture-driven baby-boomers listed some awesome movie quotes like, “Gee, I’m really sorry your mom blew up, Ricky” (Better Off Dead), or “I don’t know. I’m making this up as I go” (Raiders of the Lost Ark), my mom came up with the best answer for this category:

Four of the best sayings:

1) I Love You.    

2) I’m Sorry.

3) Let’s get together and do something..

4) Thank You.

See this week’s blog on “You’ve Got Mail” for more suggestions about choosing wise words, and have a great Valentine’s Day!
