Big_John: This wasn't passed on to me, but I like it: Mark Twain

"Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth."


Absolutely one of my favorites. thumbs up

When I let my instructor know that I was dropping out of nursing school and getting divorced, I was also fresh from getting several inches of hair chopped off of my head. She said, "Now, you've made three big changes in your life. Don't make any more for 6 months."

It's something I've never forgotten, and I now make no more than 3 sweeping life changes at a time...and wait 6 months before making any more.

1.)treat everyone the way you wish to be treated
2.)don't have someone else do something, that you yourself are not willing to do
3.) pain doesn't last forever, an it lets you know you're still alive. so get over it.
4.) if it ain't broke, don't try and fix it
5.)You can b#tch as much and as long as you want, but the shit won't get done, until you shut up and do it.
6.) If you want something done right, do it yourself
7.) If you want something, work for it.

here's just a few most already know...

Im almost 55 now and a lot of years ago I met a freind who died a few weeks since - he was a really big influence on my life as he made me aware of Buddhism - he didnt teach me about nam myoho renge khyo and he didnt teach me how to be aware of the games of others - but he did teach me to be aware of the 'self' and for that, I extend many thanks - and I expose the hurt in my heart at missing him..........

Good ones, Tater. wine
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Be like water.
Don't miss the sunrise or sunset.
You can't beat a furry companion for loyalty.
If you ask what kind of person someone is & all you hear is "Meh, they're ok"... they suck.
Lower your voice, don't flinch and rule the conflict.
Grip is everything.
Just because everyone wants the cookie, doesn't mean you should feed it to everyone.
When in doubt, duck it.
Left loosey, righty tighty.
Mind your fingers but but the elbow grease into it.
Redheads give you the sh*ts. (don't ask- family joke)

One of my favourites though came from my Godmother and grand Aunt.

People have two ears and one mouth. Wish everybody could use them accordingly.

Here's something my sister-in law sent me:

All I can suggest, is be your own hero. Imagine someone you love is in trouble, and someone you hate is threating them.
What would you to to save them? Would you do anything to help them? Even die, if necessary?
Well, that person in trouble is YOU. Use hate, fear, love, and kindness, and anything else you've got to win.
Give 'em fuck!ng hell.

And don't come back alive until you've won.

It's up to you.

From my great grandpa:
A fool and his money are soon parted

From my ex-mother-in-law:
If you're gonna get married, don't have kids too soon and go into debt.

From my mom:
You can find wisdom in error if you will learn from your mistakes.
Age has nothing to do with wisdom.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.

I wouldn't begin to know where to start with all that my mom taught me.

I do know this... A hug can cure a thousand ills.

~ Don't worry about thinking outside the box - 3 rights make a left no matter where you're at.

~ "Lost" and "confused" can mean the same thing, but usually don't.

~ The race may not always be to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that's the way to bet.

...Don't remember who told me those things, but they must've been pretty respectable or I probably wouldn't have listened to 'em.
