Short Course in Self Improvement...

Busy.

Too busy.

Mulling over what to get rid of in a too busy life for a retired person.

No time to write creative or original posts for my blog.

Relying once again on a generous, thoughtful friend who sends me things to use "in case of...."

More often than not, I'm finding myself in a situation of "in case of...".

If I would learn to put these rules for a good life to use, it would keep me out of a lot of stressful situations.

Maybe you need to be reminded or maybe, like me, you need a complete short course in self improvement.


Ten Rules For A Good Life
by Thomas Jefferson

☼Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

☼Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.

☼Never spend your money before you have it.

☼Never buy what you do not want because it is cheap; it will never be dear to you.

☼Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold.

☼Never repent of having eaten too little.

☼Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.

☼Don't let the evils which have never happened cost you pain.

☼Always take things by their smooth handle.

☼When angry, count to ten before you speak; if very angry, count to one hundred.

Peace to your household...
