My odometer
rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:
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. Your job
won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family
will. Stay in touch.
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. Take a
deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid
of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever
doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
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. Over prepare,
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 but 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. Don't
take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe
in miracles.
34. God loves
you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or
didn't do.
35. Don't
audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing
old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children
get only one childhood.
38. All that
truly matters in the end is that you loved.
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. Envy is
a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best
is yet to come.
43. No matter
how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't
tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."
remember that
I will always share my spoon with you!
Friends are
the family that we choose for ourselves.
