Life Lessons, Part Deux
Lessons in Life, By Regina Brett
To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons
life taught me. It is the most requested column I 've
ever written.
My odometer rolls over to 50 this week, so here's an update:
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all
about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or get busy dying.
17. You can get through anything if you stay put in today.
18. A writer writes. If you want to be a writer, write. *I think this is actually a
Stephen King quote...yuck!*
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you
and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it
for a special occasion.Today is special.
22. Overprepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: "In five years, will this
matter?"
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone, everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything.. Give time, time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in
touch.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't
do.
35. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable.
38. Read the Psalms. They cover every human emotion.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours
back.
41. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
42. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
43. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
44. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
45. The best is yet to come.
46. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
47. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
48. If you don't ask, you don't get.
49. Yield.
50. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.

Life lessons....
suck. Period.
Sigh...there's nothing worse that waiting. Well, maybe nothing except "not knowing". I understand the concept of Faith but the practice of, well....I am far from a master of it obviously. I want what I want when I want it, dang it! Thats just who I am though, so try not to fault me too much for it. I'm not the sort sit around waiting for things to fall into my lap. If I want something...I go out and make it happen (well, besides losing 40lbs, lol). So, being in the position where that's not exactly doable, where everything is out of my control...it's frustrating to say the least. In fact, I might say its downright maddening. I reckon there is a valuable life leasson to be lived and learned here, but between you and me....I can really do without all that. But what's a control-freak such as myself to do? If you got the answer to that I'd sure love to hear it. Until then, I'm just gonna do my best to keep on keepin on (although I worry thats much more easily said than done).

Thoughtful Thursday
Just some food for thought....so dig in!
*************************************
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
~Aesop
The saddest moment in a person's life comes but once.
~Unknown
In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It Goes On.
~Robert Frost
Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.
~John Wooden
We are what we repeatedly do.
~Aristotle
Hmmm.
Dare I ask....then what does that make me?
Or better yet, what does that make you?
