“Thirteen Things That It Took Me Over 50 Years To Learn" by Dave Barry. Wisdom!
1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."
3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5. You should not confuse your career with your life.
6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
7. Never lick a steak knife.
8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
11. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers.
12. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
13. Your friends love you anyway.

Which of the above do you relate to the stingiest?
For me, definitely #4 and #5.
I hope your Christmas Day was the best ever and you had too much to eat, too many gifts, and too much fun with family and friends … because it is back to reality tomorrow!
Always, I wish you peace, joy and happiness, but most of all I wish you Love.
