Thursday Thirteen (Lessons Learned)

Okay, since we're already here doin' memes, and we're all in an introspective kind'a mood, how 'bout we make this week's theme;


Thirteen Truisms I've found along my highway of life: Disclaimer: Not all truths are created equal. These are mine. Get your own!


1. Its never too late to live Happily Ever After.

2. It takes two people to quarrel, and the one in the wrong, usually, is the one doing the most talking.

3.The most wasted of days is one without laughter. ~e.e.cummings

4. If my dogs don't like someone, its generally true that I probably won't either.

5. There's a big difference in "wanting" something and "needing" it; The richest people aren't those who have the most, but those who need the least.

6. I like smooth peanut butter better than crunchy; I find its easier to spread on the bread.

7. You probably wouldn't worry about what people think of you if you could know how seldom they do. ~Olin Miller

8. Not everyone you love will love the same books - or books in general, neccessarily. (*gasp* I know! But, its a fact.)

9. I would rather be poor in a cottage full of books than a king without the desire to read. ~Thomas Babington Macauley

10. I don't believe a person can have only one "true love"; I think you can certainly be in love many times in your lifetime...possibly, at the same time.

11. Everything takes longer than the time you have allotted for it; plan accordingly.

12. There is something to be learned from everyone you encounter; don't dismiss someone simply because they may not be 'like' you (too old/too young, too rich/too poor)

13. Life is what we make it. Always has been. Always will be. ~Grandma Moses

I love this list!! The Olin Miller quote is priceless. Including #12 makes me love you immediately. And that you would include peanut butter makes me know we are on the same page!! I'm going to link to you on my TT right now.

I love the quotes!

And the only thing better than creamy peanut butter is whipped peanut butter. Yum!

I'll get around to the meme tomorrow. :)

These are great quotes and I really love the #2, I hadn't heard that one before. Applies to most of the arguments

Hey, can you send me an email and tell me how make links in comments, please? I see that you did it on one gal's blog.

So true! Great list! I didn't know all of them, so I added some to my quote booklet.
Thanks for visiting my detective TT and for the tips!

LoL..guys! The reason you may not *recognize* all these as quotes, is 'cause they all arent!! (only those in blue) The rest...well - call them general observations! LoL

Thank you all for droppin' by! 'Priciate it, I do!!

(I just *luv* this meme!!)
