Happy Birthday to Me

Happy Birthday to me.



I'm 51 years old, or 49 if I count backwards, Katharine Hepburn style.

Sometimes I feel every inch my age, but mostly I still feel youngish.


What have my 51 years taught me?

Never say never.

Anger is destructive.

If you don't know what to do, don't do anything. Sometimes letting a situation play itself out is the best thing. Sit on your hands and keep your mouth shut.

Is there a purpose to everything? Sometimes. Mostly though, it's caused by human stupidity frailty.

Why do bad things happen to good people? Because we're all in the same boat. Good people just feel better about themselves and spread that goodness around.

Flossing your teeth is essential and don't forget to brush your gums as well as your teeth!

Get out of your rut and try new things. Even if it means dragging yourself out the door kicking and screaming.

Practice being kind every day.

Don't freak out. People will talk about you if you freak out.

Trust your intuition. Take your time. Get some sleep. Eat chocolate.

Happy belated birthday and great advice! I also agree about not freaking out. It only brings more things to freak out about!
