Words of Wisdom Part I

  A friend of mine sent me an article from a news paper one in hopes that I would enjoy the sentiment of it.  It was an article written about a local woman who was turning 100 yrs old.  In the article the journalist asked the woman if she had any advice for the rest of the world on life.  She said, "I do. In fact I have 45 ways to help everyone live a happy, satisfying life."  
         I am going to share with you her 45 statements on how to really enjoy life.  They are all seemingly simply yet so profound.  But, I trust she knows what she's talking about. After all she's lived a hundred years.  I will be doing this in a nine part series and please feel free to comment and give your thoughts.

        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 to waste time hating anyone.
        4.  Your job won't take care of you when you are sick.  Your friends and parents will.                       
                        STAY IN TOUCH!!!!!!
        5.   Pay off your credit cards every month.


I love this article because it gives insight from a prospective none of us can even imagine.  I have no way of being able to predict my future and I don't think it's likely God will come out and tell me his plans.  These 45 statements are her failed and succeeded attempts on life.  These lessons are straight from the mind of someone who's lived through more trying times than any of use (at least most of us) have .
