Me too. The older I get, the more I realize how much I thought I knew when I was young but really didn't know. Few things are really important and there is nothing that I need to waste my time worrying about.Originally Posted by catherine
I learned more about myself in the last few months then the last 54 years.
Dog Person
I am good alone and not lonely
HOME is where I want to be, Dorothy said it best
Outdoors is where I want to be for all my daytimes
My own bed to return to every night
Knowing my Loved family is safe and happy means a great deal to me, without me taking care of them
Money in the bank means freedom and security I never want to worry about money
Making my own food
Wearing what I want
Gardening,Biking,Walking, Running
I too feel no need to see the world, I can read and do about many places, they are all too far from my home. I no longer worry, it solved nothing. I hope to stay put in the home I am in now after 29 or 30 moves, I can make this place what I want and need nothing more now.
I'd rather have a little of the best than a lot of the ordinary.
I do not deal well with "high maintenance" -- people, possessions, or systems.
It is better to be alone than wish I were.
Silence does not have to be fearsome.
Form does not follow function; nor does it lead. They go hand in hand.
Computers are easier to figure out than people -- and certainly more consistent.
My prime directive is to ask myself "What would love do now?"
Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome. - Booker T. Washington
Our coordinator of Bulldog Rescue says that bulldogs are similar to cats in nature.I'm not entirely sure why she said that, but maybe that's why I like bulldogs so much. I find them to be so much smarter than cats, and yet, so much dumber than cats. It's a conundrum.
As I've gotten older I've become more accepting that I don't need to know or be certain of some things - that there are things that can remain unanswered and unknown and that I can let go of - and that's just fine.
It's kind of like mental uncluttering.
I have learned:
To never try to prove I'm the smartest guy in the room. It never ends well.
There may be people who can time the market, but I'm not one of them.
I prefer single malt scotch, but I'm not a fanatic about it.
Up to a certain point money can in fact buy happiness.
Blaming anyone but myself for my problems/failures is unproductive (if not necessarily unjustified).
If someone is reckless enough to love you, let them.
Don't attribute to malice what is adequately explained by stupidity.
Never draw on an inside straight.
Despair is a form of cowardice.
Laughing at myself. I've been sitting here for ten minutes and I can't think of a damn thing I know for sure.
I am only certain that I am on a journey, and that I am growing and becoming stronger.
I look conservative and boring on the outside but have a crazy adventurous imagination and personality on the inside.
Just observed that so who knows what messages Im sending to people on the outside. Im shy but outgoing at the same time and I love to travel but want to sleep in my own bed everyday.I am a westerner dreaming of living in the east. One day I want to have nothing , owe no one. I think I am pretty paradoxical I think I am artistic but dont know how to express wanting to be bohemian. Im honest to a fault and crave genuine conversation. Im lonely but crave being alone. Im a big family person but dont really know my roots. I have a lot to learn still, Im always learning.
