45 Lessons from a 90year old! Thanks Auntie Marg;-)
"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I've ever written.
My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:
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.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
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 retirement starting with your first paycheck.
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, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is 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. Over prepare, 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 everyone everything.
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. You already have all 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.
Its estimated 93% won't forward this.

Blog 43/365 Oh nature:-)
I love nature!
Fact - winter in Canada gets well, COLD! In an effort to maintain my connection with nature I have been growing Avocado and Key Lime Trees from seed in a friends greenhouse:-) Now by no stretch of the imagination am I a Horticulturalist...but I must admit that it has been a rather fun experiment.
As I was transplanting trees the other day I got to thinking again...
How often do you connect with nature?
I feel distraction abounds in our day to day lives, in turn encouraging us to look right past the absolutely astonishing beauty which surrounds us. If you remember back in November...part of my first challenge was to actively connect with nature ~ sunrises, walks, hikes, sunsets, start gazing and the like. Best part is that scheduling time to connect with nature is easy!
She is all around us!
Make it a great day and enjoy the beauty of nature,
Stephen Szucs...Suchie
ps. My 7 Key Lime Trees:-)

Blog 40/365 TTT~ The world without us.
So I just started The World Without Us by Alan Weisman.
The book has an interesting premise...what would happen to the planet if we humans simply disappeared?
Being that it is Think Tank Thursday again, Mr. Weisman got me thinking...how many of us are actually aware of the global impact/repercussions of our actions? If we remember back a few Think Tank Thursdays ago to the speech I posted of Severn Suzuki...at the age of 12 she said "If you don't know how to fix it, please stop breaking it!"
Friends, we are a part of an amazing system of biodiversity...lets live and grow with it.
TTT Questions ~ What impact do your actions have?
make it a great day,
Suchie
ps. back to the book for a second...I am guessing Mr. Weisman will hit a scientifically founded "imagination button"...I curiously read on.
