Great ways of dealing with the burdens of life:

* Accept that some days you're the pigeon,
And some days you're the statue.

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

* Always wear stuff that will make you look good
If you die in the middle of it.

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

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

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

* It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to be kind to others.

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

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

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

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

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

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

* 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.

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

These are all great, I need to put a copy up on my fridge.
Small story about the above. I had a favorite bra and hated to give it up, so I safety pinned the strap.
One day I was in a car accident. While lying in the ambulance en-route to the hospital, one of the attendants opened my blouse to check the area, and to my chagrin said 'oh my! I'm wearing the proverbial don't wear that in case your in an accident bra'...they smiled, looked at each other and said 'she'll be fine'...gotta have a sense of humor to cover the embarrassment.

I love this thank you for sharing. Especially the first one regarding the statue and the pigeon that pretty much says it all.

My favorite quote about life;

"You've only got one life, don't waste it doing something you'll regret, enjoy everyday to the fullest"

It really gets me through my worst days.

Always good to have a little dose of down-to-earth wisdom to put things into perspective.

"Never criticize a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way, you're a mile away, and you have his shoes!"
