Words To Live By!

During this last half of 2010 many of us wonder when things are going to turn around. Economically we have been thru one of the deepest recessions since the Great Depression in 1929.
However, here are some words of wisdom, words to live by. All of us need to absorb the meaning behind each statement. So with permission from the author, Regina Brett, here are 35 life lessons:

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you're sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in
touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
