  • Lessons in life, read weekly

    Here's something I received in my inbox earlier and thought I'd share.

    This is something we should all read at least
    once a week. Make sure you read to the end!

    Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The
    Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio

    "To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the
    45 lessons life taught me.
    It is the most-requested column I've ever
    written."

    My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so
    here is the column once more :

    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.

    10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is
    futile.

    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.

    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.

    18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make
    you stronger.

    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.

    25. No one is in charge of your happiness but
    you.

    26. Frame every so-called disaster with these
    words 'In five years, will this matter?'

    27. Always choose life.

    28. Forgive everyone everything.

    29. What other people think of you is none of
    your business.

    30. Time heals almost everything. Give time
    time.

    31. However good or bad a situation is, it
    will change.

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

    33. Believe in miracles.

    34. God loves you because of who God is, not
    because of anything you did or didn't do.

    35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the
    most of it now.

    36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying
    young.

    37. Your children get only one childhood..
    38. All that truly matters in the end is that
    you loved.

    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...

    41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have
    all you need.

    42. The best is yet to come...

    43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up
    and show up.

    44. Yield.

    45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still
    a gift."


    Happy trading and Merry Christmas
