    32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

    1. Athena

      Athena

      These are wise words.

    34. Your job is to love your children, not choose who they should love.

    1. Chrissy

      Chrissy

      You just have to hope that you have given them the skills and confidence to choose good people.

    2. julie

      julie

      As a person whose kids have chosen many years ago, you also have to lean on the Good Qualities of their spouses, and don't focus as much on the Bad. We all have both, don't we ?

    35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the best of it now.

  5. chaliepud

    36. Growing old beats the alternative .. dying young.

    1. Athena

      Athena

      That's very true.

    37. Your children only get one childhood.

    1. Chrissy

      Chrissy

      Sadly, so many people forget this.

    2. chaliepud

      chaliepud

      Especially at this time of year, there are so many children who have nothing and who are suffering..

    38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

    1. Chrissy

      Chrissy

      Everything distils into this when you really think about it.

      I agree!

    39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

    1. Chrissy

      Chrissy

      Lovely. :)

    2. chaliepud

      chaliepud

      I'm going for a dog walk in a bit. Will be a miracle to not be washed or blown away.. Will accept that as my miracle today! :)

    4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will. Stay in touch.

    1. frankie

      frankie

      True! xo

      Loving these Chaliepud. Thanks

    40. If we threw our problems into a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

    1. Chrissy

      Chrissy

      Oh, I may wish to swap one or two. :)

       

    2. chaliepud

      chaliepud

      Yes, picking and choosing our problems to suits our strengths may be the way forward. :)

    3. frankie

      frankie

      Ain't that the truth!

  11. chaliepud

    41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

    1. Chrissy

      Chrissy

      All you need + tons of other stuff!

  12. chaliepud

    42. The best is yet to come...

    1. frankie

      frankie

    2. chaliepud

      chaliepud

      I think on some occasions it'd be better for me to accept certain things rather than fight against what I can't change much about.

    3. Chrissy

      Chrissy

      It's strange that when I read that one word I automatically thought "Nope". Got a way to go with these haven't I? lol

       

    4. chaliepud

      chaliepud

      Good job it's second last on the list then Chrissy. ;)

      It's not an easy one, I prefer

      'Choose your battles', one I frequently have to employ when dealing with my children!

    45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.

    3. karen.d

      karen.d

      Looking forward to read the entire list. I think I need some words of wisdom at the moment

    4. Chrissy

      Chrissy

      Great one to end on. X

  16. chaliepud

    5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

    1. Janet

      Janet

      Or don't have a credit card! :D

    2. chaliepud

      chaliepud

      Very true! :)

       

  17. chaliepud

    6. You don't end to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

    1. frankie

      frankie

      Great advice again. I've heard people phrase it as 'do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?'.

    2. chaliepud

      chaliepud

      Ah I like that, I think I'll add that to the list!

    7. Cry with someone else. It's more healing than crying alone.

    1. vodkafan

      vodkafan

      or just make someone else cry instead!

    2. frankie

      frankie

      ... with laughter, I hope!

    3. Raven

      Raven

      Or onions!

    8. Release your children when they become adults. It's their life now.

    1. Eleonora

      Eleonora

      This should be tattooed on every italian mum. They still consider you a baby even on your wedding day.

    2. Inver

      Inver

      should I be doing this with my 19 and 23yr old...don't know where or how they would live though

    3. vodkafan

      vodkafan

      Give them a suitcase and a clean pair of socks at age 11. Change the locks

  20. chaliepud

    9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
