List for life -
Observations and Rules - of thumb, to live
by, to break......or,
Don't chase the Cat around the house with a shop-vac
In no particular order -
The only "rules" in life are the ones we learn, the ones we follow, and the ones we create along the way...
Use never and always as if they had a warning label attached
Never spend more energy on hating rather than loving, particularly when dissolving a relationship. Remember that the fire that warms is also the fire that burns...

Change is like a grain of sand; one grain is a reminder of the beach, a thousand is a small part of the beach in your shoes, a billion billion - is the beach
When all else fails, use a hammer. It probably won't fix it, but the pounding can be very satisfying
Try to be as silly as you are smart - keep the child in you alive - after all, that's how you started out
It's never too late to begin, it's just that the later you start, the longer it will take you
Remember that failure is a part of the journey, and mistakes are footprints on the path to success
Sometimes, when you're considering a risk or trying to make a decision, you just have to assess and guess...

Be kind, be courteous, be thoughtful, be on time, be yourself
Confidence is security in everything you know. Arrogance is insecurity in pretending you know everything
Reality is better than drugs and alcohol any day - fantasy on the other hand, makes reality look like B&W TV with no sound and bad reception...making fantasy real - now that's a fun challenge
A little bit of "smattitude"* goes a long way... (*smart-ass attitude)
Truth is never simple
Time is usually measured in events, but most often in eventually...
At some point in life we should look forward with hope or risk being drawn back into regret
Cherish each moment with a child. They trust unconditionally, forgive easily, adapt quickly, discover and learn eagerly, play joyfully and remind us of what we have forgotten to practice - or lost…
Absolutes are for physics and fanatics
Hold onto your dreams. They can be slippery little devils...

The past is - something to remember - and something to forget...

"When you run down the street on fire,
people will get out of your way."
