What I’ve Learned in 45 years…

1. Tomorrow’s not another day…tomorrow is the same as today, but with a surprise.. It’s usually just a Cracker Jack tattoo prize, rarely something worth opening.

2. Food can be left out over night and eaten the next morning WITHOUT killing you.

3. Babies only smell good when company comes over.

4. I enjoy creating for the process and not the product, hence my unfinished quilts and scrapbooks.

5. Don’t judge people

6. There’s no accounting for taste…

7. Looking before you jump isn’t such a bad idea after all.

8. Loneliness leads to bad decisions

9. Gardenias smell so good they make your heart swell

10. Not everyone eats liver and onions but they should

11. I’m a good person (I think, been told occasionally) but when I’m done, I’m done. There is no forgiveness and no second chances.

12. False hope is worse than no hope at all

13. People are as blind as they choose to be

14. It is possible to be in love all by your damn self

15. The people who have a true sense of self are a minority

16. You know when you know. I never understood that, until I knew

17. Whole grains and fruit are great, but I can’t eat it everyday. I want a corn dog

18. Crazy people have a better idea of how crazy they are then we give them credit for

19. Men were made to open doors, open jars and check oil…nekkid twister is just a perk

20. Honesty is a gift and a skill. Not everyone is talented.

21. Disco music makes you WANT to move

22. You can stretch one pound of hamburger for 3 days when you’re young and poor, but a 5 pound roll isn’t enough to feed 4 people when you’re not

23. If I had to give up television (movies included) or music, I’d choose movies. The music would fire my imagination…who needs more.

24. People who don’t read for pleasure have no joy in their lives and it makes me sad for them

25. You never really get over the loss of a loved one. My Dad's been gone almost 10 years and its as gut-wrenching now as it was then.

26. A proper frame of mind is imperative to any undertaking. Without it life sucks and you fail.

27. I look terrible in white

28. I always said I’d never regret anything I did in my life, but I do occasionally
look back at some things I’ve done and wince.

29. Watching your own child give birth is more terrifying than doing it yourself.

30. True friends last forever and come from the most unusual places.

31. I have a messy chaotic mind and a messy chaotic bedroom. This shouldn’t surprise anyone.

32. New shoes can ease almost any pain.

33. I wish adult Sharon could tell little Sharon that she would grow up to be confident and secure in herself even if it’s not true 100% of the time. She'd grow up believing it and it would be true.

34. Everyone says love is worth working for, sacrificing for, etc. I think if it feels like work and sacrifice, it’s probably not worth it.

35. Men shouldn’t wear baggy pants and go commando…its unattractive and much worse than camel toe

36. Writing letters that you never intend to send is good therapy

37. When you clear your conscience at someone else’s expense, it doesn’t really do you any good

38. So many lives are ruined in the pursuit of mediocre ass

39. Adults should get into Disneyland ½ price instead of kids…it’s for them, not us…give us a break!

40. Just an observation, but when someone comes up to you and says “we need to talk”, there’s a fair chance there is no WE involved.

41. I’m an all or nothing kind of girl, but I wish I could embrace a nice shade of gray once in awhile

42. People have a much skewed idea that meek means weak.

43. "My Big Fat Greek Wedding” is one of the funniest movies EVER made.

44. Family is vital

45. I would do some things differently, not saying what, but I know I would.
