28 Secrets to Happiness
Live beneath your means and within your seams
Return everything you borrow
Donate blood
Stop blaming other people
Admit it when you make a mistake
Give all the clothes you haven't worn in three years to charity
Every day do something nice and try not to get caught
Listen more, talk less
Every day take a 30 minute walk in your neighborhood
Skip two meals a week and give the money to charity
Strive for excellence, not perfection
Be on time
Don't make excuses
Don't argue
Get organized
Be kind to kind people
Be even kinder to unkind people
Let someone cut ahead of you in line
Take time to be alone
Reread a favorite book
Cultivate good manners
Be humble
Understand and accept that life isn't always fair
Know when to say something
Know when to keep your mouth shut
Don't criticize anyone for 24 hours
Learn from the past, plan for the future, and live in the present
Don't sweat the small stuff

ReplyDeleteI've checked that list..checked it twice..I can see where I've been naughty and nice! Thanks for this great recipe for a more simple life. I'm really trying to get mine in order before I turn 60 next year. Now, I'd better go donate most of my closet! Have a good weekend Jilda!
