    My (ex) wife forwarded me this email. Perhaps you've seen it. So many of these simply life lessons are so valuable, and a lot of heart ache and pain can be missed if we could all live by them all the time. I know that it's easier said than done...

    Thanks for sharing Jim. I will print this and put it on the fridge so I'll see it everyday. Hopefully, I'll become wiser :slight_smile:

    I'm not 90 but I know this one is true:

    I was wondering if it would turn up on the list cuz it's one I learnt the hard way and it's something I remind myself off when things get rough.

    22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
    26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'

    So true. :slight_smile:
