I was redirected by another thread to a John Prine song which reminded me that most of my life happens in one or the other of his songs.

 

None of which has to do with these collected words of wisdom:

 

1 * Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue!

 

2 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

 

3 * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

 

4 * Drive carefully... It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker..

 

5 * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague

 

6 * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it..

 

7 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

 

8 * Never buy a car you can't push.

 

9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

 

10 * Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

 

11 * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

 

12 * The second mouse gets the cheese.

 

13 * When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

 

14 * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

 

15 * You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

 

16 * Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.

 

17 * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.

 

18 * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

 

19 * Save the earth..... It's the only planet with chocolate!*

Never Say Never

This is one that over the last few years I have learned that circumstances change and things you thought you would never do, you end up doing. Regardless of if its rite or wrong, good or bad.

T.T.

Don't assume. You just end up making an "ass" out "u" and "me".

 

If you're going to do it, do it hardcore.

 

It's not about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can GET hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done.

I can't go to hell, Satan still have a restraining order against me.

 

Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.

"Tell me and I'll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I'll understand." - Tribe Unknown.

 

--------------------------

 

A Native American boy was talking with his grandfather.

 

"What do you think about the world situation?" he asked.

 

The grandfather replied, "I feel like wolves are fighting in my heart.

 

One is full of anger and hatred; the other is full of love, forgiveness, and peace."

 

"Which one will win?" asked the boy.

 

To which the grandfather replied, "The one I feed."

Live each day as if it were your last and one day you'll be right.

 

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

 

The future is uncertain, eat your desert first.

 

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

 

Even though the sun is shining, the momma cat still has her kittens under the steps.

 

Live long enough to have heard all of these wise words before.
