(from Cleveland Plain Dealer)
“To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I’ve ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:”
ME! JL Smith
1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
BFFs aren't always human...RIP Gibson
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick.. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.
8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
No matter what others say...I've THEE GREATEST MOTHER ever:)
12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journeyis all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.
We will always lose what we love...RIP Theodore
24. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
25. Frame every so-called disaster with these words ”In five years, will this matter…?”
26. Always choose life.
27. Forgive everyone everything.

29. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.
30. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
31. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
32. Believe in miracles.
33. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.
Hang loose and always be loyal
34. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
35. Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.
36. Your children get only one childhood.

Good list.
I’d share my spoon, but it should probably we washed first.
Hi Jamie and congrats! Great website, and very beautiful post. I too am a maniac animal lover. They are my family. Check out THIS GREAT POST where I said goodbye to one of my friends, I think you will understand. Lots of luck with your blog!
Priceless……..
Beautiful words to live by…thank you — this made me cry
Great article.
Great post, I especially love that you wrote, BFF’s aren’t always human, and isn’t that the truth. Loyalty in the form it comes from a pet is very steadfast and never changes.
I love this, and highly agree!
I posted something similar on my blog… check it out!
Thanks again for this post!
