apparently written by a 90 year old, great common sense
45 Life Lessons, written by a 90 year old (author unknown)
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 not to enjoy it.
4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.
5. Don’t buy stuff you don’t need.
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. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for things that matter.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye… But don’t worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful. Clutter weighs you down in many ways.
18. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It’s never too late to be happy. But it’s all up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Overprepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words, ‘In five years, will this matter?’
27. Always choose Life.
28. Forgive but don’t forget.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give Time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.
35. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d
grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. Accept what you already have, not what you think you need.
42. The best is yet to come…
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift

Where has all the time gone?
Some time when I look in the mirror, I wonder who that old lady is. Most of the time I do not feel 70 what ever that is. Yes I get tired but not like when I was younger and had 2 children, a job and a home and husband to care for. In those days time dragged it's heels, then, when I looked in the mirror, I wondered, where my life was going.
It took me a very long time to understand that it was going nowhere and it was because I never had the where with all nor the courage to try to change it. I spent more years that I care to think of "hoping, wishing , and praying for it to change" It was finally when I realised no one was going to come along and "rescue" me that I made changes on my own. That was years in the making, and doing. I really wish there were some way I could take a young person aside and tell them what I have thus far learned.
But i suppose that a lesson taught is a lesson learned rather than some one telling you to not stay in any situation unless there was a plan and an end.
I am almost sure when I was young and so very ignorant that I wouldn't have listened, all the time thinking that is you, and not me.
Any yet with all that I have learned and done, I feel as if I need at least 40 more years to actually enjoy the time I have had.
I do not believe I will get my 40, but I am going to give it a run for the money, and with my last breath I would like to be able to say wow that was wonderful.
So dear young ones, this lady does have a plan and an end, who lovely is that
