One year wiser

Today I'm 36. The older I get, the younger my ages seem!
What I know now that I certainly didn't know then:

• Enjoy life as much as possible - you just don't know how long you'll be here.
• It doesn't matter what you look like. People will love you just the same.
• Other peoples' opinions do not create your truth.
  
• Wait for the right guy, even if it takes awhile.
  
• The things you have don't make who you are.
  
• Take a bit of time out each day for yourself.
  
• Sit in the quiet from time to time.
• Stay in touch with friends as much as you can. Long lasting friendships are wonderful!
• Try not to be judgmental of anyone's life - you cannot completely understand someone until you have lived her life.
  
• It's okay to let things go.
• Coffee is nectar of the gods!
• Enjoy your babies while they are tiny, it sure doesn't last long.
• Helping others really does make you feel good.
  
• Go at least one day a week without makeup.
  
• Learn a new skill every so often.
  
• Do not utter the phrase "Well, I'm just to old to..."

Life is looking pretty good from 36!
