Love the Little Reminders...

Karen just forwarded me an email that was a copy of a column written by an old woman. It's a list of her 45 lessons of life. It was a cute read, and a few things stood out to me. They're probably things you've heard or thought about before, but we can all use little reminders sometimes.

#2) When in doubt just take the next small step.
#7) Cry with someone- it's more healing than crying alone. (Why is that so true?)
#13) Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
#28) Forgive everyone of everything.
#35) Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
#37) Your children get only one childhood.
#40) If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd hurry and grab ours back.
#43) No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

So true, we all need these reminders... could you forward the whole list... I think I need more than the consolidated list reminders!;)
