...that life is short, so do what makes you happy. ...that adventure is good for the soul, so try something new at least once a day. ...how right my parents were about so many things...I sure took those long summers away from school with nothing to do for granted. ...everybody farts, so you might as well laugh about it. ...there is never any excuse for bad manners, rudeness, or treating someone else poorly. ...that there is no such thing as laughing too often or too loudly. ...it's the people that can't let go of the past that suffer the most, so I practice letting go and surrendering to the present as much as possible. Nothing is more empowering than sloughing off the old and starting new each day. ...that there are so many people here with words that inspire me daily. :) |
...never buy anything you can't flip burgers for.

. . . . . that I don't need all the "things" (material possessions) that I thought I did.
. . . . . that getting rid of the clutter in my life is liberating. . . . . . that it is getting easier to walk away from people who claim to be a friend but act otherwise. . . . . . that Tootsie Rolls are a good any-time food. . . . . . that my heart may bruise but it hasn't stopped hoping. |

What you get out of life is what you choose. How you are treated by others (and how you treat others) is a direct reflection of your belief in your own self worth. Truly self-actualized people have no need to treat others with cruelty. If we feel that we need to be better than somebody else, that's an internal flaw within ourselves. Learning to "GET OVER IT" is a terrific way to conduct ones life. Not everybody we meet and know is going to like us, and SO WHAT? So what is also what's so!!! |

That some individuals will never "grow up" and take care of responsibilities or proper priorities...and that it's not my job to pick up the pieces or be the caretaker/responsible adult. I must break the cycle of co-dependency. I must STOP trying to rush in and "fix" everything. All my life I've been the caretaker....it's time to take care of me.[/CENTER][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/QUOTE] ____________________________________ Nobody saves anybody else.

that some people in the world will do whatever it takes to make another human being's life miserable. It's sad, but true. I wish it weren't this way, but there are folks out there that strive on the drama they cause for others lives. Just sayin.... |
I realize that every "era" ends up thinking that the younger generations have no idea what "we went through."
LOL, it is kind of fun to see your own kid begin to say that about your grand kids!!! I am glad, however, that I did't turn into a negative older person about younger people. We have a lot to give each other. |

AtLastHome, what's more fun is to utter the eternal prayer in the presence of your own child: "May your child grow up to put you through all the crap you put me through." And then watch it unfold. The flip side, however, is coming to realize what we put our own parents through, once we've forgiven them for their imperfection. Mankind doesn't seem to have the capacity to learn from history (world history or our own limited experiences). We go on repeating the same errors over and over again ad nauseum. Life is a Merry Go 'Round! Have a good one and keep a sense of humor. Negative old people get these nasty little lines around their lips. Very unattractive. |
... Everyone, everything dies...Some sooner than others, faster too...
... Occasional indulgences are worth the hassle of envious pricks. ... Money doesn't buy happiness, but it does pave the road towards it. |
The older I get, the more I realize.....
that kindness is the best response in almost every situation.
|
The Older I Get, The More I Come to Understand....
"Change" does not always require emotional upheaval. Change can be a gift to experience life more fully and with ease.
|
The Older I get the more I realize
That I love my mom more and more as each day passes.
That I am ever so grateful for the mom that I have. |
how really important it is to pick the right career path. I did an ok job, but in looking back, I know where I could have really empowered my path and increased my income and twisted it around so I could have done more specifically the kind of therapy work I wanted to do...
|
The older I get the more I realize that my best asset and worst enemy is me.
|
We pay for everything eventually. There is no free lunch.

when I need to step away. See you later!

... life doesn't always imitate TV. You haven't failed in your twenties just because you don't live in a high rise Manhattan apartment by yourself, with a huge closet filled with designer shoes, surrounded by equally successful friends who are always in the mood for a cocktail party where all of you magically have all this free time and no job stress. ... fish or cut bait. Don't sit around waiting for someone else to do something or recognize you. ... homecooking still wins hearts. xosqueak. Still wants all those shoes, though, don't get her wrong. |
how much losing 2.2 lbs really means to me :hangloose:
|
...that smiles and hugs are always appreciated, sometimes needed, and the best gift...
...There are 2 words I wish not to have in my vocab or my life... ...That everything happens for a reason (even tho sometimes we don't understand that when things happens)... ...No matter how hard life gets...it is better than the alternative... ...some people Have to hit rock bottom and lose it all to learn that they had a good thing going... |
That My Mom and My late Grandma have been right alot.
