Work like you don't need the money
dance like no one is watching
sing like no one is listening
love like you've never been hurt
and live life every day as if it were your last

~Mark Twain~ (I love this quote, but its easier said than done sometimes )

Here are a few lessons I've learned in the last 29 years...

Try it. You might like it.

If you screw up, stand up and take the bullet. Don’t bother with excuses; no one wants to hear them anyways.

We get one shot at life so make it fun. Remember, everything is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Be polite. It makes such a difference.

Make sure you always care for someone else — another living thing. It could be a plant, a pet, a relative, or significant other.

Play regularly.

Try to read more.

Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.

Say what you mean and mean what you say

Think big thoughts, but find pleasure in the small things

Sing and Dance when you are cleaning house-it won’t feel like work (but close the curtains first or your neighbors will think you're a nut case)

Roll down the windows when you drive, turn on music and sing your heart out—don’t worry about what others might think, they’ll be gone by the next light

Cookies always taste better uncooked and in the tube

Always sing in the shower

The nine minutes of extra sleep you get when you hit the snooze button are so worth it

Everyone learns their own life lessons at their own pace—some things can’t be rushed
