a list of life

many great thinkers have written a list of life much like this. i am NOT one of them. these are just observations of myself, and what it means to me to live life. i have tried hard to adopt these simple items into my 'be'-ing, but as a human, i fail more often than not...but i just keep trying.

- love is worth fighting for.
- if you live life while loving it, it will repay you numerous times over.
- when traveling down the road, if you stare too long at where you have been and where you are heading, you will certainly lose sight of your guides. pay attention!
- do not quit.
- be nice!
- try to remember to give your best at all times.
- breathe deep as often as possible...and listen to it.
- hug as many people as you can..daily.
- smile when you wake up.
- be wisely vulnerable.
- love someone with everything you have.
- let go of anger.
- eat vegetables.
- have a pet....once.
- laugh at yourself...outloud....and often.
- love the children...they ALL deserve it.
- think about what you say, and imagine how it will make the receiver feel. if it is gonna hurt them, either do not say it, or spin it to make it hurt less.
- tell the people that you love that you love them...they may not know.
- do not be afraid to love...it really is easy once you let go of all the shit.
- appreciate nature.
- there are no excuses...only reasons.
- learn to send as much energy as possible to as many people as possible...all while not depleting your own.
- be honest to yourself and others.
- use good manners.
- cry when needed...do not hide.
- dance alone or with a partner...just do it.
- share your toys.
- make eye contact with people when talking to them.
- step outside your box now and then.
- give more than you get.
- do not hoard money...other people need it.
- think of others first.

there are so many more, but i must continue my evening....maybe i will add some more at a later date.....but probably not.
so...anyway.....i love you....i truly do.

  1. I have a list like this. I call them my rules. Mine's much shorter, though, with only four rules.

    1. It's only life; we all get through it.
    2. Never rewrite.
    3. If people don't like you for who you are, fuck 'em.
    4. It's easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

    I admit to lifting 3 and 4 from a smart woman I once knew, but 1 and 2 are my own.
