#2, #6, #9 for me!

 

I've also learned I have little control over people and events. Must only control self! A lot more relaxing this way and I am able to give freedom to my grown children.

Re: AS I GET OLDER I REALIZE

I wanted to add my commentary....

 

As I get older......I realize..... I don't have time for the "drama" and foolishness. 

 

I just want a peaceful quiet life.

Happiness is ALWAYS an inside job,
Don't assign anyone else that much POWER

I talk to myself too.  I practice what I'm going to say to the doctor because I know I gotta get it all out in under two minutes.

LOL----JUST PERFECT!!!!

 

 

#3, #4, #5................are my favorites Woman LOL

 

 

#4--just in the last week:

 

1. My doctor's office for some odd reason billed my old insurance company even though they had previously confimed my info with the new company.

 

2. The grocery store charged me $45 of 1/4 lb for lunch meat. 

 

3. My cable company now prints your pin number on your bill (I guess they are trying to make it easier for thieves to hack your account)

4. I called a company to get some document for my taxes and they sent me documents for 2015....I guess they dont know that last year was 2017........they had it because I called and they sent me the right year.......

Re: AS I GET OLDER I REALIZE

Love the list, very true and meaningful!!!!!  

 

I always say I have all this wisdom and younger people don't want to hear it!  I didn't either when younger.  I also have learned I can't worry and stress over what I cannot control, that's a difficult one to do.  

 

Thanks for great post!!!!!!!
