This poem, The Rules of Life 181-192, sounds quite familiar about a dozen times. The one time it did not sound familiar was when I did not read it aloud. (I joke.)

Thanks for the read. I just loved that picture. We have heard some of these in one form or another all our lives. Like Shakespeare said. "All the stories have been written, and words said." And that, does not even count sequels. Karen

Extremely clever! I really like your imaginative outlooks. Very creative, too. This is just one of these pithy comments that particularly stood out: We always suffer far more in our imagination, than we ever do in real life.
-- I once read somewhere that eighty percent of the things we worry about never happen. (Of course, no one ever wants to be part of that left over twenty percent.) I enjoyed reading this very much, Karen!
Smiles and hugs, Lily

Great advice! :) I especially like this one: "If you've never met the Devil on the road of life, it's because you both are headed in the same direction."
I can relate to that. For years, I traveled down the road of darkness. Thank goodness my life is changed, turning to the light.

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed!
Sincerely,
Shana :)

Not judging people has always been one of my traits that people say they like best about me. But honestly, I just keep it to myself, since it's mainly that I just don't give a damn what anyone else does. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Very amusing rules. Good chuckle with the one about being an athlete because he surfs the internet. The "steak to the heart" is a pretty amusing one too.

I love these live lessons you share with us. Some of them are extra cute like the one about stupidity and genius. I know many who could realte to that one. Keep writing and I will keep reading.

Have you read them all? Thank you very muuch. Karen. I owe you 4. I got behind in my mail and reviews when my wifi was down for two weeks. I was lucky if I got two hours a day. Karen

There some dandies here. Good work. I especially like: What other people think of you, is none of your business. Hah! Keep my nose to myself, even when it's about myself.
Best wishes.
