Some things I've learned

Putting the cap on the toothpaste pays in the long run.

Never give up. Never give out. Never give in.

The best IS yet to come.

Respect doctors and their knowledge 100%. BUT the human spirit is able to do BEYOND what they have been taught. YOU have the final word in your destiny.

When working out, always do a little more than you think you can. The worst that will happen is that you keep the same goals. The BEST that will happen is that you will set NEW goals.

It isn’t the falling down that counts; it’s the STAYING down. Do what it takes to get up again. Then help someone next to you who has fallen.

SEE it and you can achieve it. Believe it with the heart, mind, and spirit first. The rest is a cake walk.

God is not a genie here to grant wishes. Work WITH Him. It’s why He made us. Just remember - HE is God. You are not.

Never give up on love. It is in the smile of a child, the kiss of a puppy, the grateful hug from a friend, and sometimes just in the glance of a stranger. Never think because you don’t have a significant other that you do not have love. It is all around you. Just open your eyes - and your heart. If you DO have a signficant other - remember why you fell in love with them. And let them know that you still do.

Cougars rule.

I AM my brother’s (and sister’s) keeper.

God bless America and those who protect her.

You must move or you will die. If nothing else, shut the shades and dance if nothing else matters. Dance like you did when you went to a Junior High School sock hop (do they still have those??) with your girlfriends. Before you really cared. Just DANCE for the sheer joy of the moment.

Laugh more than you cry.


Never ever ever pick up a teething puppy who was recently weaned when coming straight out of the shower. Get dressed first. Nuff said. That band aid is going to hurt like heck when I remove it.

Life is short.

Regret is long.

It’s never too late to learn something new.

Don’t let your past determine your future.

Say “I’m sorry” more than you expect to hear it.

Carpe Diem.

God NEVER fails. Man, occasionally. God, never.

Have an above average day.
