Life Lessons from a 90 year old woman

Written by Regina Brett, 90-years-old, of “The Plain Dealer,” Cleveland, Ohio.) To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me… It’s the most-requested column I’ve ever written. My odometer rolled-over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:

1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.

5. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

6. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

7. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.

8. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks.

9. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

10. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful
