Another year has passed and the dawn of a new year is just around the corner. Sure 2008 could have been better, at times it could have been a lot better. However, as my ever optimistic aunt always says; "be positive."
I wish you all a very Happy New Year!!! I hope you have a year filled with health, happiness, love, and prosperity.
Looking back though, there are a few things that were made more clear to me. Those little nuggets I'll share, even if they do sound like cliches.
~ Be grateful for what you have.
~ If you have nothing nice to say just shut the fuck up.
~ Look after your health.
~ Time goes by faster as you get older. (no seriously, it does)
~ Argue your point twice, if the other person doesn't get it, don't waist your breath.
~ Entertain the fact that you might be wrong. (as unlikely as it might be)
~ There are things that depend on you and there are things that do not. Learn to
differentiate between the two.
~ Be passionate about something.
~ Smile as much as you can. Laughing is even better.
~ Don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself. It's a powerful ability.
~ Socialize and maintain close friendships. You will not realize the value of a close friendship until the day you need one and realize you have none.
~ Let others talk more while you listen.
~ Get dirty every now and then. (you can read this however you like ;-)
~ Make others laugh whenever you can.
~ Flirt as often as you can. (in a nice way though, not some sleazy way)
~ Compliment others, and be helpful.
~ Appreciate simple things more, whether it's: a moment in time, beautiful eyes, a landscape, a photograph, a really nice cup of coffee, a glance or smile from someone unexpected, nice food prepared well, softness in unexpected places, a scent, a feeling of contentment... the list is endless on this one...
~ Lastly, don't fret over the small stuff, life's too short.
That's enough for now.
