My dear old friend Lavender Chick, should i say old??, posted a blog this week about the twenty five things she has learned in her years on this earth. I really enjoyed it. As a friend of mine would say, "It spoke to me". So i have decided to put down a few of the things i have found to be fundamental datums. So, Thanks for the inspiration Lavender Chick and just so's you know, i am using an empty Hummingbird Farms wonder lotion bottle as a dish soap dispenser. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Right??
These are in no particular order, i just put them down as they came to me.
1. Don't settle for something other than what you want. If you want Ro-Tel Tomatos, Del Monte Stewed Tomatos aren't going to cut it.
2. You can be as rich as you want to be in public, but you know how rich you are when you get home.
3. Girls lie, Girls make you feel bad, and Girls can do both at the same time. (If the sexist tone of this bothers you, change gender and see if it doesn't fit)
4. A glass of tea always tastes better when someone else makes it for you.
5. When a doctor gives you advice on the state of things, it is just that; Advice. What you do with it is your choice.
6. Nobody loves the way they look in pictures, just accept how you look.
7. If you like your car and it gets you where you need to go, it's good enough.
8. Nothing is too big when you do it for love.
9. When a child or a parent dies, they are never gone.
10. Rotisserie Chicken, Sun Chips, and Guacamole is the perfect meal.
11. Text messaging is for passing bits of information, Calling is for conversing.
12.Doing something unexpected for someone else makes you feel good.
13. Always have mashed potatos with english peas, the potatos will keep you from having to chase the peas all over your plate.
14. Some friends can be closer than family, they're not a replacement they're a blessing
15. Make time for the things you want to do, nobody else will.
16. Ultimatums rarely work out for those that make them.
17. People are who they are, either work within those parameters or don't, but change is not an option.
18. When dealing with life, the ability to compromise is important, but not as important as not compromising who you are.
19. Always leave room on your list to learn new things.

OMG - Rotisserie Chicken, Sun Chips, and Guacamole!!! I love all three of those things but have never had them together. Well - Chicken and guacamole, yes, but not with sun chips. In fact, I love Sun Chips, but I never eat them with guacamole, always regular corn chips. I must try Sun Chips with my guac. Now - I'm assuming you mean all three of these things together as a meal. Or did you mean each individual item makes a meal???
ReplyDeleteAlso loved how you left room for more wisdom....
Dara says hi, we talked about you when Lisa, Sami, and I were on our road trip. Were your ears burning about ten days ago? Would love to see you!
