Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland, Ohio


"To celebrate  growing older, I once wrote20the 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.


It's estimated 93%  won't forward this. If you are one of the 7% who will,
forward this with the title '7%'.

Remember that I will always share my spoon with you!

Friends are the family that we choose for ourselves.

Present Moment

 
'Never save something for a special occasion.
Every day in your life is a special occasion'.

I sit on the porch without worrying about anything.

I spend more time with my family, and less at work.
I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to,
not survived through.
I no longer keep anything..
I use crystal glasses every day...
I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket,
if I feel like it.

I don't save my special perfume for special occasions,
I use it whenever I want to.
The words 'Someday...' and ' One Day...' are fading away from my dictionary.
If it's worth seeing, listening or doing,
I want to see, listen or do it now..
Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.
Live for today, for tomorrow is promised to no-one.
