A Creed to Live By

VW should be back posting tomorrow. I just realized no one posted for her today. I don't have any stories ready, so I will just give you some things to think about. Sticks.

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because each of us is different that each of us is special.

Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

Don't take for granted the things closet to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.

Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.

Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over ---until the moment you stop trying.

Don't be afraid to admit you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.

Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's imposible to find. The quickest way to find love is to give love; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don't dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope. To be without hope is to be without purpose.

Don't run through your life so fast that you forget not only where you've been by where you're going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

A while ago on Livey's (Northwoods Woman) site I made a comment regarding a code of ethics my dad taught me which were basically the codes of conduct of the old frontier. " Always take care of the women and children, work for what you get, your word is your bond, and don't start no shit there won't be no shit." Pretty well says it all I guess. I have done my best to live by this code although I have not always lived up to not starting shit and it usually came back to haunt me.

I often find myself craving tater tots after coming here! Dang, Sonic is closed! :-)
