I got an e-mail from my Mom this morning, one of those lists of folksy wisdom. But this one is better than most. And it doesn’t end with “Dance like nobody’s watching,” and implore me to forward it to everyone in my address book. I like it.
It’s by Regina Brett, a cancer survivor and columnist for the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Here’s a sample, and when you click on to check out the rest of her list, note #18.
“27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
33. Believe in miracles.”
