SCROLL DOWN     I love this!!!              7% Written by a 90 year old This is something we should all read at least once a week!!!!! Make sure you read to the  end!!!!!!  Written  by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the Plain Dealer,  Cleveland , Ohio . "To celebrate growing older, I  once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most  requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:   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 - enjoy it.. 4.  Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your  friends and  family  will. 5. Pay off your credit cards every  month. 6. You don't have to win every argument.  Stay true to yourself. 7. Cry with someone. It's  more healing than crying alone. 8. It's OK to get  angry with God. He can take it. 9. Save for  retirement starting with your first paycheck. 10.  When it comes to chocolate, resistance is  futile. 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. 13. Don't compare your life  to others. You have no idea what their journey is all  about. 14. If a relationship has to be a secret,  you shouldn't be in it.. 15. Everything can  change in the blink of an eye But don't worry; God never  blinks. 16.  Take  a deep breath. It calms the mind. 17. Get rid of  anything that isn't useful. Clutter weighs you down in  many ways. 18. Whatever doesn't kill you really  does make you stronger. 19. It's never too late  to be happy. But it's all up to you and no one  else. 20. When it comes to going after what you  love in life, don't take no for an answer. 21.  Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy  lingerie. Don't  save  it for a special occasion. Today is special. 22.  Over prepare, then go with the flow. 23. Be  eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear  purple. 24. The most important sex organ is the  brain. 25. No one is in charge of your happiness  but you. 26. Frame every so-called disaster with  these words 'In five years, will  this  matter?' 27. Always choose life. 28.  Forgive but don't forget. 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. Don't take yourself so seriously. No  one else does.. 33. Believe in  miracles. 34. God loves you because of who God  is, not because of anything you did or didn't  do. 35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the  most of it now. 36. Growing old beats the  alternative -- dying young. 37. Your children get  only one childhood. 38. All that truly matters in  the end is that you loved. 39. Get outside every  day. Miracles are waiting everywhere. 40. If we  all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone  else's, we'd  grab  ours back. 41. Envy is a waste of time. Accept  what you already have not what you need. 42. The  best is yet to come... 43. No matter how you  feel, get up, dress up and show up. 44.  Yield. 45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's  still a gift." Its estimated 93% won't forward  this. If you are one of the 7% who  will,  forward  this with the title '7%'. I'm in the 7%. Friends  are the family that we  choose.
