Ran from home to the office. Hot day! Felt slow. Maybe I should start having something to eat before leaving. Also very thirsty. Need to start drinking more water. Blisters hurt a bit, I hope they go away fast. Tendon hurts a bit. Icing now.

A friend of mine sent me this, I'm usually not a big fan of stuff like this, but some of the things here are pretty good... I particularly need to keep in mind numbers 13, 26, and 42.

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."

You just outdid any quote I could come up with for the day. I might just have to steal these and save them for later...

But I don't have the supplies for #21...

From Lucia on Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 14:26:53 from 74.9.147.114

Nevels, your quotes are much more poetic and deep than these! You're on a completely different level!

Monte, we'll have to get Rachel to buy you some lingerie...

I would like to amend number 36 to:

I want to die young as late as possible.

From montelepsy on Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 14:35:53 from 64.235.121.163

She already has. Wink, wink, nudge nudge, know what I mean, know what I mean...

ha ha ha ... Mike, in a little teddy and his crocs - doing pull-ups. I you thought you got into trouble for the flip-flops!

Thanks for posting these Lucia.

I also like the: Do unto others - this is my number 1.

Bonnie... that image is now burned into my brain... Thanks :0

Nice run Lucia, even if you didn't feel to well. I like the posting.

From Kelli on Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 14:40:20 from 71.219.102.162

Thanks for sharing, that is cool. I live by number 18 as much as possible. And I like your amended one, Nevels. I agree!

Now to the croc wearing, lingerie clad, pull up dude....not so sure about that.

Lucia---I discovered aquaphor after my last LONG bout with blisters. Lather your feet up with the stuff before you work out and when you go to bed (you have to sleep in socks though, which stinks when it gets hot). It has worked miracles.
