Life Is Too Short To... (renumbered)

                                                                             
Maybe it is because of the stage of life I am in, but I constantly think, life is too short to, or not to...
Here is a list of things I have thought about lately.
Life is too short ...

1.To live with unloved clutter
2.To watch movies you do not like
3.To finish boring books
4.To sweat the small issues
5.To spend time with people who are critical
6.To have friends who drain you of energy
7. To live in regret
8. To go to bed angry
9. To tell the story "my" way only
10. To live without hugs
11. To live with unnecessary bad odors
12. To.have an ugly cat! (Gotcha L.)
13. To have picky, ungrateful children
14. To be grumpy or be with folks who are
15. To be jealous or envious
16. Not to give the benefit of the doubt
17. Not to call your parents
18. To forget the to do list
19. To be owned by the to do list

This blog is like my kitchen table. You are all invited to pull up a chair, grab a cuppa, and stay a while. If you can, today, share your heart with someone. I would love to hear what is on your mind and in your heart. Life is short, live it well.

Good, thoughtful list. Just curious, though: What are the necessary bad odors?

Hey Lawana,
I have decided that I like lists...
especially when I "write" them...
cause thats the way I can actually write...since I think in random thoughts.
Love,love,love your blog!
Thanks for writing (since you know how vs. me that pretends to write & shows mostly pictures with captions)

Dear L. I think your kitties are lovely...kinda like me, too fluffy but really sweet! Maybe you could put them on an asparagus diet. If it works, let me know and I will try it for myself.
Love ya!

My special kitties lower my blood pressure naturally. Unless one has a bad hairball episode...
