Just having had yet another milestone birthday, I have decided it's time to reflect on my "Philosophy of Life".
- Aches and Pains......Quoting my mother....."If it hurts when you do that....Don't do it!"
- Denying myself little pleasures and treats....(Like flavored coffee creamer and red shoes) Buy them....now. How many more chances are you going to have?
- Opinions........no one, but you, really cares about Your opinion. If you attempt to offer it, prepare for rejection.
- Emotions......not worth hiding. If it makes you happy, laugh. If it makes you sad, cry. (Although, I sometimes cry, when I'm really happy.)
- Fashion.....just wear something. No one remembers what you wore yesterday, or a week ago, or ten years ago. Get dressed. Leaving the house naked is not an option.
- Innovation.......Every day, try something new and maybe a bit scary. It probably won't hurt. It might, but at least you tried it, once. Regret is more often a result of what you Haven't done, not what you Have done.
- Fatigue......take a nap.You won't be missed. And, a true friend will never judge you.
- Worry.......it doesn't do any good and your worrying annoys everybody (even those that you worry about).
- Hug people....if you think about it and then decide not to do it.........you've missed a chance to make someone feel loved.
- Tomorrow is not promised.
- Pray
Most of these thoughts have developed over the long years of my life. Some occurred yesterday. One or two just today.
