DON'T FORGET THE INSURANCE!
A year ago at this time, I was traveling in a rickety mid-sized rental sedan of life bumping down "Mid-Life-Reexamination-When-the-Crap-Hits-the-Fan-and-You're-Not-Sure-What-to-Do" Avenue. At times the view out of the cracked windshield was great! At other times, I wanted to crawl under the oil-stained floor mats and will the world to go away. I've learned a couple of things, though, that I would like to share. Pithy words of wisdom, if you will ...
1.) If a bird poops on your head, chances are he was aiming for you.
2.) Never, ever, no matter what, touch foliage that you can't absolutely, positively identify. It will come back to bite you in the butt ... on your forehead ... a bit on the arm ... some on your leg ... your neck ...
3.) Rejection will come, usually in threes ... sometimes in fours ... possibly with a greater chance of it happening in fives!
4.) When you are at your worst, there will be people that think it's fun to kick you when you're down. Be prepared.
5.) Flowers do grow in the cracks of sidewalks. Appreciate their tenacity.
6.) You will learn who your truest friends are when it's raining poo and goo.
7.) I don't care what Geri Halliwell said, it will never rain men, girls. Never.
8.) If there are red flags, girlfriend, you'd better pay attention. It only goes downhill from there.
9.) Sometimes, rejection likes to visit more than once ... from the same individuals. I think they enjoy the rekill.
10.) Coffee is good for you! Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
11.) Beagles make everything seem sunshinier.
12.) Embrace your curves, baby. No one else will be willing to until you're are willing to love each and every one!
13.) Shoulders back, head up.
14.) Eye contact. It's all about the eye contact.
15.) We are all snobs. It's just that we are all snobbish about different things.
16.) Ignorance sometimes is a little bit blissful.
17.) Coffee is good for you!!!
18.) 80 is the new 40. When I figure out what that means, I will let you know whether I'm happy about it.
19.) Do stop and smell the roses. There are some amazing revelations to be had in the little things of life.
20.) If you can find some one that enjoys listening to you prattle on about the minutae of your day and loves you for it, hang on tight!
21.) Be willing to accept the blame for wrongs you've committed. More importantly, be willing to say you're sorry.
22.) Accept the fact that not everyone will accept the blame for their wrongs nor will they be willing to apologize.
23.) Understand that some people just don't get it ... even if you do draw them a picture.
24.) Coffee is good for you!!
25.) Mixed messages are extremely hurtful, but they surround us daily. Be ready to decipher their codes and move on quickly.
26.) Fretting doesn't get you anywhere except deeper in the hole you're digging for youself.
27.) Life is an adventure. Treat it as such. Just make sure you have the appropriate safety equipment with you.
28.) Never forget your insurance.
