elisi's philosophy

rules for life




1-be thankful for what you've got and quit whining about what you don't.

2-show respect for mother earth-she's the only home you have.

3-life is to live and learn. lessons will be tossed in your path and not all will be wearing a happy face.

4-when you get up in the morning you have a choice to be happy or a pain in the azz. if you want to keep family and friends on your side, choose the former.

5-if something doesn't go your way, don't dwell. see #3.

6-and as good old oscar wilde said, 'life's too important to be taken seriously.'

Love it Simple but useful.

i am a pretty k.i.s.s. kind of person.

[Gaudium]

Very nice, been trying to live like that. 6th point has been hardest probably

i wrote that and stuck it on the fridge when my kids were going through their early teens when everything was OH SO DRAMATIC.

my favorite sayings to them was 'get over it!' and 'suck it up!' lol

i was a tough love kinda mom.

Yes, elisi, I was a tough love mom too. Shish! The teenage years. Shiver me' timbers. I don't want to go through those times again. My favorite saying was "Life's a b and then you die." and "whatever". I still say that one. It helps me walk away when I get to emotionally involved.

Yes, if we could get outside our skin and not take everything so personally we would fair much better.
