Words To Live By
Words, phrases, and ideas that are almost guaranteed to bring you good karma...
1. Listen to your mother.
2. Stop at crosswalks to let pedestrians cross.
3. Don't go more than five miles over the speed limit. Unless it's an emergency, those few extra minutes won't really matter.
4. If you say you're going to do something, do it soon. And...
5. Don't say you're going to do something if you can't. This goes hand in hand with...
6. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Literally and not.
7. Be nice to your siblings. You never know, when you're older, if your sister might hook you up with that beautiful friend of hers.
8. Always smile (try to, I know it can be hard), and say nice things about people. Sometimes things have a way of coming back and biting you where you don't want to be bitten. On the other hand, remember when someone said something nice about you? It's good to be on that receiving end.
9. If you have younger siblings or relatives (nephews or nieces), play with them every chance you get. Some day soon they'll be older and might not want to play, but they will forever remember how you treated them.
10. Listen to your mother. That one's worth repeating.

Okay, which beautiful friend are you referring to? I have so many of them!! ;-)
I like these, and think they are all true. But the one about saying nice things about people because you never know when a harsh comment might come back to bite you could be repositioned. Like, you never know when a compliment will be returned. And especially true is the one about 'listen to your mother'. I find myself frequently telling my kids, "if you don't have anything nice to say . . . " HOw many times did we hear that one?
