a little ponder...

Got this from a friend of mine.

Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio

She wrote 45 lessons life but I have chosen the best for us to think over. Have a great weekend!

Let’s ponder…

1. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

2. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

3. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.

4. Pay off your credit cards every month.

5. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

6. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

7. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

8. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

9. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

10. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.

11. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

12. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

13. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

14. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

15. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

16. The most important sex organ is the brain.

17. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

18. Forgive everyone everything.

19. What other people think of you is none of your business.

20. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

21. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

22. Your children get only one childhood.

23. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

24. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

25. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

26. The best is yet to come.

27. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

28. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.
