I think there are a few things most people need to know before they are grown. Of course this list will be different depending upon your life situation, but these have been helpful for me.
- Sleep is important.
- Brush your teeth.
- Floss.
- Fluffing in the dryer and ironing are not interchangable (sometimes you need the iron).
- Don't react too rashly, you do not know what load the other person is carrying.
- Choose not to swear.
- Consider aging, stretch marks and varicose veins before choosing a tatoo.
- Walk away from non grocery purchases for 24 hours. If you still think you need it and you can afford it without the credit card, buy it.
- Watch the sun rise several times per week.
- Give and accept hugs. It takes a 6 second hug to produce endorphins. (They are a good gift to give loved ones)
- Kiss your spouse passionately several times per day. (20 second kisses work best!)
- Stop and look at people when they are talking to you. Leave the book, the paper or the screen. (I need help on this one. Too much multitasking)
- Listen to your elders. Record their stories in your brain. You will want to tell them to your kids.
- Mind your own business.
- Keep your own secrets.
- Don't gossip.
- Be honest and honorable.
- Smile at strangers, especially little children and frowny people. Your smile may be the only one they see today.
- Tip. Tip. Tip generously!
- Eat deep green leafy veggies daily.
- Eat raw fruit daily.
- Drink water almost exclusively.
- Read something good every day. Start with the Bible.
- Pray rather than worry.
- Love someone intensely!
