Last week Myra did a thought-provoking post she called her "Life is too short to ...." list. After pondering her words I decided to come up with my own list
LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO:
- Be unhappy
- Not look everyone in the eye and say hello
- Work at a job you hate when there are other options
- Hang out with people who don’t appreciate you
- Do the exact same activities day after day
- Not make a regular diet out of of junk food
- Not take a nap because you're too 'busy'
- Buy clothes that don't flatter you just because they're on sale
- Not make amends
- Sit on the sidelines
- Be mean to yourself
- Not take some quiet time for yourself every day
- Not use the fancy dishes and real silverware
- Be afraid to admit your mistakes
- Not forgive yourself for those mistakes
- Worry about what people think
What things would be on your list?

Great list! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteI can't argue with anything on that list. It is too bad it took me way too long to acknowledge some of them like worrying about what others think.
ReplyDeleteI think we figure things out when we're supposed to.
DeleteGood list
ReplyDeletesounds good to me
ReplyDelete"Make a regular diet out of of junk food"
ReplyDeleteI think this is the best idea on the whole list!
This week my brain seems to be on vacation! Although this would be a good idea for 20-year old me, now I need to do better. Updated the post with an all-important 'not' :-(
DeleteActually starting to look forward to fall, and start up baking. Store bought stuff has WAY too much sugar, and heaven knows what other needless (cheap) junk.
DeleteSue, I agree with you, but in my case I still bake in the summer...just sweat a little bit more :-)
DeleteLife is too short to end up in jail, is one off the top of my head.
ReplyDeleteAmen!
DeleteI agree with a lot of this. I just have to put my mind and body to do it.
ReplyDeleteThat's easier said than done, isn't it?
DeleteThanks for the shout-out, Kath. #'s 3 and 4 sure hit home with me; 5 years later, I'm still in recovery mode. (Only half kidding.) So glad you did this!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad too. The thought process was helpful to clarify some things I already knew.
DeleteIt is difficult to look someone in the eye if they are not the same height as you.
ReplyDeleteI worry that I cannot look people in the eye. I look them in the ear instead. Lovely miniature scenes in there.
God bless.
Some people seem to forget that although they can't see in their own ear other people can!
DeleteIt is a good list. Everybody has his own way, and everybody has his own reasons. In my personal opinión a list of Life must include this:
ReplyDelete"Walk the Way for to Be Happy".
Have a very nice summer, with Joy and LOVE.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment.
DeleteGreat list, Kathty, encompassing both self care and personal growth.
ReplyDeleteThanks :-)
DeleteThat's a good list.
