L@:] I happened onto this amazing site today,www.boardofwisdom.com, there are lots of really good
quotes and sayings. There is one that I really liked:
At age 4 success is not peeing in your pants.
At age 12 success is having friends.
At age 16 success is having a drivers license.
At age 20 success is having sex.
At age 35 success is having money.
At age 50 success is having money.
At age 60 success is having sex.
At age 70 success is having a drivers license.
At age 75 success is having friends.
At age 80 success is not peeing in your pants.

Take a look for yourself, my favorite quote is from Robert Fulghum, it's in his book, Everything You
Need To Know You Learned In Kindergarten.
All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in the sandpile at Sunday School. These are the things I learned:
Share everything.
Play fair.
Don’t hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don’t take things that aren’t yours.
Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life- learn some and think some and draw and paint and dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands, and stick together.
Be aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the Styrofoam cup: The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the Styrofoam cup- they all die. So do we.
And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned- the biggest word of all- LOOK.
I have read all of his books and I loved them all. He also has a website http://www.robertfulghum.com/ and he
posts a journal you can read. He has an awesome take on the world around him and delivers it back to you
with humor, intelligance and unbelievable insight that makes you stop and think and laugh, alot.

Seek and you shall find
Found a new website called http://www.best5everything.com/ ,I went on and there are some really
great lists on there.
Thought someone might like to take a look,great lists on there.
I think its amazing.
I think I'll write a top 5 of reasons not to make a To Do List because I
never get anything done when I have a list of alot of things to do...
Especially on Sunday.
Life seems to keep on going whether you DO or DO NOT, right.
And another thought, how can I seem to get so much stuff done, that's not on a darn list,
even in between company coming by, housework getting done,
helping others with their To Do stuff, all the while, others I won't mention,
REALLY do nothing. Which is what I feel I've done,
which is nuts because I have not stopped since I got up.
Ramble much... That's okay, my family gets me, that's all that matters!

A Day In The Life...
L@:] I got a Kindle for Christmas and I absolutely love it. I already had the Sony Reader and I like that
too, but the Kindle reads to me so I can multitask, I never realized how much time I spent waiting for
everything until I got the Kindle. Now when I am at the doctors, waiting, when I am at the store, waiting,
wherever, I put in the earplugs and time just flies by. Well, it seems the older I get time seems to go by
faster, never enough hours in the day. That's probably why I hate to go to sleep. My daughter and I just
had this conversation last week, we had just finished watching one of my vampire movies and I told her,
can you imagine all the stuff I could do if I did'nt have to sleep? She said I was nuts, of course, but she's
a teenager and still hates mornings and loves to sleep, which I do too, so it makes sense. The only difference
is that I have to work every day so I have to get up in the morning, she on the other hand, is in college and
does'nt get up before 10. But I would'nt have it any other way. They say the older you get, the less sleep
you need, I don't think I believe that. But then again who knows what to believe these days, one day they say
something is good for you and the next it's not. I choose to listen to it all and believe what I want.
