A Little Philosophy...
My husband posted last week that the blog needed to have less words (former freaking all star, can you tell?). I aim to please, so here’s what I think in a few less words.
1. Always choose laughter. If torn between a tear jerker or a side splitter, call the doctor and tell him to schedule you for stitches (get it…side splitting?). Life brings enough tears, why seek them out?
2. Always be yourself…it’s good practice for when you get old and simply remembering where you are is difficult enough.
3. Never make choices based on money. Nothing I can buy is eternal. In the long run…it’s all just yard sale fodder.
4. Never mind read. Unless someone TELLS you what they think, you’re probably wrong.
5. Err on the side of the positive. (For example, my husband for our first (married) Christmas got me tires. Why? Because he wants me to always arrive home safely, not because he was a tight wad who parlayed a needed expenditure into a Christmas gift.)
6. Put people first. People trump objects every time, in every situation, no exclusions.
7. Stop beating up on your body, yourself, or your life. We worry so much about our body beautiful that we forget to appreciate that our body is still doable (by that I mean in terms of locomotion...pervert)
8. Do what you love, even if you aren’t the best of the best. Some things should be measured in pleasure factors, not success quotas.
9. Don’t waste time on a hater. I tell my kids all the time, the easiest way to feel tall is to knock someone else over. And some people are so tiny, that’s all they have.
10. Always remember, God built the universe with words…they have power, use them wisely.
