Something to Ponder!

Written by Regina Brett,

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. Change the way you think.

4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will. Stay in touch.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.

12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.
