Life. . .

Here I am “re-running a Blog I did in 2009.  I came across it when I was checking back to see if I’d already written about another subject. (I still don’t know because I got distracted with sharing it again.) 
I don’t do New Year’s Resolutions but this seems to be all of the resolutions for a life in one list…except for the big one: “I’m going to lose weight.”
It was written By Regina Brett 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio.
A few of my favorites are high-lighted.

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 parents 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.

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.
journey
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.

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.

32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

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.
