Beautiful Advice

A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine sent me an e-mil that was titled, "Beautiful Advice." I have read the thoughts over and over since then and I still feel moved by them. I want to keep working on them. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I have!!

Beautiful Advice

An Angel says, 'Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.'

1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.














6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
10. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.















11. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
12. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
13. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
14. Get enough rest
15. Eat right.















16. Get organized so everything has its place.
17. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
18. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
19. Every day, find time to be alone.
20. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try and pray.














21. Make friends with Godly people.
22. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
23. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good 'Thank you Jesus.'
24. Laugh.
25. Laugh some more!














26. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
27. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
28. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
29. Sit on your ego
30. Talk less; listen more.














31. Slow down.
32. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
33. Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before.

'If God is for us, who can be against us?' (Romans 8:31)

Neisha kindly pointed this one out today. It made me laugh! Does it bring back memories, or what!? :) However, I did find myself thinking, "Is that how I really looked?" *laugh*

Plugging Along

Hello there! Do you think that I've forgotten about this blog that I have? I haven't!!! :) I just have loved the quote that was in the post before this one, so I've really enjoyed just stopping by and re-reading the quote and I haven't felt an urgent need to update. The quote is a good one, that's for sure! One I hope that I don't soon forget!

Speaking of quotes, I've enjoyed this one that Leilani posted on her blog recently. It says, "When we find it hard to leave the place of prayer is when we know we've found the presence of God." Isn't that just a wonderful quote? I have just SO appreciated thinking on that since Leilani posted it. I really hope to know this more and more as life goes on.

Things with me have been going good. Nothing extra special has been happening, just life. I am taking two classes at UW this semester, so I stay rather busy throughout the week. My weekends have been spent just relaxing and catching up on everything. I tell you, I have really come to love being home on the weekends with no plans. It's wonderful!! Of course, if things come up, I do enjoy that, too, but there is nothing quite like being home. :)

I had some friends over for supper this week and that was enjoyable. It was the first time that I had company for supper in a little over a year (don't judge me! ;), so they felt quite special. :) *laugh* I'm not one who loves to cook and bake and such, so I don't often have people over. Maybe when I get a bigger apartment on the ground floor next summer, that will change a little. We'll see!

The UW basketball season has started up again, so I'm looking forward to attending a few games. I have season tickets to the women's basketball games and I occasionally attend one of the men's games. I quite enjoy the women's games. If you've never gone to one before, you should! They're just as exciting and fun!! :)

Thanksgiving is coming up, so I'm looking forward to a couple extra days off of work. I plan to have all of my house cleaning and homework done by that point so that I can laze around and read books!! Yay! :)

I'll let this be all for now. I just thought that I'd update my blog so that you know that I'm alive and doing well. Take care until next time!
