“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 to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.

Let’s all remember to take the time to LIVE!!!!
…
A friend of mine opened his wife’s underwear drawer and picked up a
silk paper wrapped package:
‘This, he said - isn’t any ordinary package.’
He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.
‘She got this the first time we went to New York , 8 or 9 years ago.
She has never put it on , was saving it for a special occasion.
Well, I guess this is it. He got near the bed and placed the gift
box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral house,
his wife had just died. He turned to me and said:

When I was little,
I used to believe in the concept of one best friend,
And then I started to become a woman.
And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up,
God would show you the best in many friends.
=+=+=
One friend is needed when you’re going through things with your man/woman.
Another friend is needed when you’re going through things with your mom/dad.
Another will sit beside you in the bleachers as you delight in your children and their activities.
Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be.
One friend will say, ‘Let’s cry together,’
Another , ‘Let’s fight together,’
Another , ‘Let’s walk away together.’
=+=+=
One friend will meet your spiritual need,
Another your shoe fetish,
Another your love for movies,
Another will be with you in your season of confusion,
Another will be your clarifier,
Another the wind beneath your wings.
