guidelines of life.... (number 34 & 35 are my fav's)

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. Save for retirement starting with your first pay check.

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

10. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

11. It's OK to let your children see you cry.

12. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

13. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it...

14 Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

15. Get rid of anything that isn't useful. Clutter weighs you down in many ways.

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

17. It's never too late to be happy. But it’s all up to you and no one else.

18. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

19. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

20. Over prepare, then go with the flow.

21. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

22. The most important sex organ is the brain.

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

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

25. Always choose life.

26. Forgive but don’t forget.

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

28. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

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

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

31. Believe in miracles.

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

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

34. Your children get only one childhood.

35. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

36. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

37. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

38. Envy is a waste of time. Accept what you already have not what you need.

39. The best is yet to come...

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

41. Yield.

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

ALABAMA FOOTBALL!!!  ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

January 1, 2013


20 things to teach your son…

1.     Play a sport.  (football)  It will teach you how to win honorably, lose gracefully, respect authority, work with others, manage your time and stay out of trouble.   And maybe even throw or catch.


2.     Use careful aim when you pee.  Somebody's got to clean that up, you know.


3.     Save money when you're young because you're going to need it some day.  


4.     Allow me to introduce you to the dishwasher, oven, washing machine, iron, vacuum, mop and broom.  Now please go use them.


5.     Pray and be a spiritual leader.


6.     Don't ever be a bully and don't ever start a fight, but if some idiot clocks you, please defend yourself.


7.     Your knowledge and education is something that nobody can take away from you.


8.     Treat women kindly.  Forever is a long time to live alone and it's even longer to live with somebody who hates your guts.


9.     Take pride in your appearance.


10. Be strong and tender at the same time.


11. A woman can do everything that you can do.  This includes her having a successful career and you changing diapers at 3 A.M.  Mutual respect is the key to a good relationship.


12. "Yes ma'am" and "yes sir" still go a long way.


13. The reason that they're called "private parts" is because they're "private".  Please do not scratch them in public.


14. Peer pressure is a scary thing.  Be a good leader and others will follow.


15. Bringing her flowers for no reason is always a good idea.


16. Be patriotic.


17.   Potty humor isn’t the only thing that is humorous.
          
 18.  Please choose your spouse wisely.  My daughter-in-law will be the gatekeeper for me    spending time with you and my grandchildren.


19.  You will set the tone for the sexual relationship; so don't take something away from her that you can't give back.


       20.  Remember to call your mother because I WILL be missing you.
