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

“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 – enjoy it.

4. Your  job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and  family will.

5. Pay off your credit cards every  month.

6. You don’t have to win every argument. Stay true to  yourself.

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.
