Users Manual...

If there were a "users manual" for life, I would hope that these would be a few of the Do's and Don'ts we would find inside...

Do's

...live your live - don't watch it!

...start each day like there's no tomorrow!

...dance in the rain to the tune in your head - and laugh out loud while doing it!

...buy yourself flowers - just because!

...take baby steps - life changes every minute, but changing your life takes time, patience and determination!

...walk with your head held high - it's safer and allows you to see all the beauty in the world!

...stop and look around at God's glory!

...when it's time to let go, let go - especially when it's the hardest thing you have ever done or ever will do!

...give a smile to at least one stranger a day - it may be the only one they get!

...strive to improve yourself every day!

Don'ts...

...let fear stop you from doing anything in life that is in your heart to do!

...underestimate yourself or others - we all have hidden depths!

...grin at your mama while she is scolding you - it only makes it worse!

...stare directly at the sun!

...disregards a childs opinion - you may find your answer through the simplicity of a childs reasoning!

...drag your feet - march into the world proudly and with strength!

...stomp in puddles with your shoes on - take the shoes off first, it's much more satisfying!

...be someone you aren't, for anybody - it never ends well!

...let a compliment go by unrecognized and unappreciated!

...forget to tell yourself YOU LIKE YOU!!

This was fabulous! Words to live by! Can I add one of my newest favs?

"Opportunity dances with those already on the dance floor."

So, dance...baby! Dance....

Kathryn: Thanks so much! I love it...And as we should always be looking for Opportunity - Here's to dance shoes that don't pinch! Better yet, dance barefoot - you can stay on the floor longer!!
