Gommy wants to share something a 90 year old woman from Cleveland, Ohio wrote in a local paper and it says volumes about getting older and all the good things and wisdom that we learn as we age.....Goms has tweaked some to her liking:
1. Life isn't always fair...but it is always 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. The family and friends that you have
taken time with will.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree on some things.
7. Cry with someone. It is more healing than crying alone.
8. It's O.K. to get angry with God.....he can take it.
9. Start saving for retirement...... with your first paycheck.
10. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up your future.
11. It's O.K. to let your children see you cry.
12. Don't compare your life with others....you have no idea what their journey is about.
13. If a relationship has to be a secret.....you shouldn't be in it.
14. Things can change in a blink of an eye....but don't worry....God never blinks.
15. Take a deep breath...it calms the mind.
16. Get rid of anything in your life that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
17.Whatever doesn't kill you....really does make you stronger.
18. It's never too late to have a happy childhood...but the second one is up to you.
19. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy nightgown.....don't save it for a
special occasion......today IS special.
20. Prepare...........then go with the flow.
21. Don't wait....be eccentric now.
22. The most important sex organ is the brain.
23. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
24. Frame every potential 'disaster' with, "In five years will this matter?"
25. Forgive everyone - everything.
26. What other people think of you is none of your business.
27. Time heals most everything.....give time TIME.
28. However good or bad a situation is...........it will change.
29. Don't take yourself so seriously...........no one else does.
30. Believe in miracles.
31. God loves you because of who God is....not because of anything you did.
32. Growing old beats the alternative.
33. Your children only have one childhood.
34. Stay on the right side of the sod....
35. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
36. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
37. No matter how you feel..... get up, get dressed and get out.....
38. Yield.
39. If we all threw our problems in a pile, and got to see everyone elses'....we'd pick ours.
AND MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE OF ALL!!!!
40. Life may not always be tied in a pretty bow....but it is still a gift.
Hope you got something out of some or all of these gems...Have a great day boys and girl. Hugs & Mush, Gommy
