Bigger, Better, Faster, More

It's not the way to live I've come to find.  It is the little things that make your life a happier place... I am in a thoughtful mood this evening. 

This note is Toby approved.. 

• Designer shoes are great but even killer heels... will kill your heels in the end. 
• A bigger house isn't always better.  You will just have more area to deal with when it comes to cleaning.
• Don't dwell on other peoples relationship issues.  You simply can not fix other people's "stupidity".  
• Put only things in your home, office, play space that make you smile.  A little or a lot. Doesn't matter as long as they are things that you love.   
• Strive to not be a fair weather friend.  BE the person that others love to be around rain or shine.
• Keeping up with the Joneses is highly over rated.  Be happy, honestly happy.  They will wish they were you.  
• Accept the things in your life that you can not change and obviously work on the ones that make you miserable and that you have the ability to change.  It's a win win.  
• Surround yourself by people who make you happy.  Let go of the ones that don't.  It's easier than you think.
• Remember to tell the ones you love that you love them more than once in a while.  Because death happens faster than you think. ( need I remind people where I work? )
• Smile ... Smile at everyone you meet, even if they don't smile back they will remember that someone out there smiled at them. 
• Don't forget to tell yourself how amazing you are daily.  
• Have pride in your appearance.  You don't have to be rich to follow this one. The simple act of dressing appropriately is taken for granted daily.
• Take time out to turn off all technology in your life and spend the time that you would normally be glued to a social networking site, a forum, eBay, Amazon, anything internet or game based doing something that involves movement with something other than your right hand on the mouse.
• Use the manners that your parents taught you.  That one is self explanatory.  ( If they didn't teach you any then make it a priority to learn some asap!)
• Just Be.   It's my favorite thing to do. 

And .... with that I end with a favorite picture.  :)
