This has been around the internet for a long time, so just sharing.

Some may apply. Take the ones you feel will work for you.

1. Make your bed every day; even if it's right before you get in it.
2. Don't wear holey underwear in case you're in an accident and they cut your clothes off.
3. Travel light through life. Keep only what you need.

4. Put butter on your biscuit , and twice as much when you miss someone.
5. It’s okay to cry when you’re hurt. It’s also okay to smash things; but, wash your face, clean your mess, and get up off the floor when you’re done. You don’t belong down there.
6. If you’re going to curse, be clever. If you’re going to curse in public, know your audience.

7. Seek out the people and places that resonate with your soul.
8. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
9. 5-second rule. It’s just dirt. There are worse things in a fast food cheeseburger.

10. Happiness is not a permanent state. Wholeness is. Don’t confuse these.
11. If you’re staying more than one night, unpack your bag.
12. Never walk through an alley alone.

13. Be less sugar, more spice, and only as nice as you’re able to without compromising yourself.
14. Can’t is a cop-out.
15. Hold your heroes to a high standard. Be your own hero.

16. If you can’t smile with your eyes, don’t smile. Insincerity is nothing to aspire to.
17. Never lie to yourself.
18. Your body, your rules.

19. If you have an opinion, you better know why.
20. Practice your passions.
21. Ask for what you want. The worse thing they can say is no.

22. Wish on stars and dandelions, then get to work to make them happen.
23. Don’t skimp on good sheets.
24. Fall in love often. Particularly with ideas, art, music, literature, food and far-off places.

25. Fall hard and forever in love with nothing but yourself.
26. Say Please, Thank You, and Pardon Me, whenever the situation warrants it.
27. Reserve I’m sorry for when you truly are.

28. Naps are for grown-ups, too.
29. Question everything except your own intuition.
30. You have enough. You are enough.

31. You are amazing! Don't let anyone ever make you feel you are not. If someone does....walk away. You deserve better.
32. No matter where you are, you can always go home.
33. Be happy, and remember your roots.
34. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

I love it! It's similar to the Desiderata that I attempt to live/die, by.

You're very welcome, my dear friend

I'm glad you love it, darkowl

I have not read Desiderata for a long time so I read it again.
It is so beautiful, it lifted my heart and soul.

1. Make your bed every day; even if it's right before you get in it.

I make my bed everyday but my son and daughter don't. What about you?

I hope everyone is having a wonderday

Very apt....

Yes, aren't they?
Thank you for dropping by, Ladywind

I make my bed every day rosie, or at least pull the covers up. Before I get in it at night, I straighten out the sheets and blankets.


3. Travel light through life. Keep only what you need.


I started doing this many years ago, and again a couple years ago when I ventured out to do seasonal work and travel. Now that I'm staying put for a while, I'll still hold to that, it's kind of nice not having a lot of stuff.

Thanks rosie, I'm having a wonderful day, hope you are as well.

the only time i make my bed is when i change the sheets
or if someone sneaks in and makes it for me

What you did was an awesome adventure, river Kudos for you.

Are you liking staying put so far?
