I like your life lessons... I did not learn some of them soon enough and I know first hand you are RIGHT.

yes . . . yes . . yes . . . why does it take a lifetime to learn some obvious things?

Very wise indeed! Thanks for sharing, and thanks for your comment!

I love your lessons, and am relieved to know that you are not your house, or rather that I am not my house, since you should see where I have lived in my travels around the world! You might not have wanted to be my friends ;)

One of my big life lessons, is that it is okay, even creatively and spiritually essential to do NOTHING at times. As the Buddha (I think) said: Don't just do something, sit there!

One more: nothing stays the same for long.

First of all, isn't that a new photo in your blog header? I really love it!

Second, I love your list! Especially "you don't have to finish a bad book" (I'd like to add, no matter how much it costs!), "you are not your job or your house", and "surround yourself with people who make you laugh". Wonderful!

I played along. I might have shouted when you got to the putting down of books. Such a hard and important one to allow yourself to learn.

Loved these. The ones that really resonated with me were:

~ never pour milk on your cornflakes and then wander away.

~ you don't have to finish a bad book (I always feel the need to finish a book once I've started it).

~ stop to take pictures.

~ it's good to have a stash.
