What I've Learned



1. People are only as important to you as you make them.

2. Only you can decide when the healing begins after a relationship has gone sour.

3. Never make someone else a priority who has chosen to make you an option.

4. Keep your cool and get the job done! If you panic or fly off the handle during adversity, you've just wasted time and energy that you will most certainly need.

5. Keep your wits about you when everybody else is losing theirs and you'll look like the coolest, most intelligent, and attractive cat in the room! (Even if you really aren't!)

6. Keep looking outside of yourself or through someone else to substantiate your happiness and chances are, you'll always be looking. Happiness is within.

7. As you get older your body is constantly demanding certain adjustments in your lifestyle. Ignore your body's demands and it really won't matter much to you anymore if you get
my drift!

8. A man that is constantly buying flowers for his woman is a man that is probably guilty of much.

9. Michael Jackson is dead yet, Keith Richards (of the Rolling Stones) is still alive... proof positive that life is sometimes confusing and death even more so.

1o. If you really want to know a person's character, lend him/her some money.

11. If you're not early then, you're late... there is no in between. (At least, this was my father's rule.)

12. I couldn't be a politician or a celebrity. I'm not the type to apologize for something I said... especially, if I really did mean it at the time I said it.

Well, well, well... Wise Cousin, the years have given you insight into the human psyche and the grace to express your wisdom with intelligence and humor. Excellent post and most importantly, valuable tenets to ponder and to live by. One point-buy your wife some flowers even if you are not guilty of anything. Women appreciate the scent and sentiment! Love you!!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: You know the emptiness of my heart. Sometimes I wonder if you are there, if you hear, and if there is any hope that my situation will be different. When loneliness looms around me, when my questions are unanswered, when no one seems to care, when days and nights go on and on with no change, when I fall deeper into despair, I pray that you will let your peace fall upon me as gently as the spring rain that waters the earth. Remind me of your unconditional and eternal love for me. Assure me of your presence. Fill my heart with the hope that my life is held in your hand. Lift my pain so that joy may flow freely again through me. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
