facebook 25 things..

Ever since the "write 25 things about me" started on Facebook, I have been inspired and moved by the lives and experiences of friends and sometimes strangers (whom have been kind enough to share with everyone). Although, I am pretty sure I am not ready to share these about myself with others, i am glad some are more courageous than I am.

I was however, encouraged to make such a list about myself for my own private viewing. Usually, I am the first to compliment someone else, and become awed and inspired by other's achievements. Making my own list of 25 things, made me realize just how amazing a person I am, and the tremendous things I have going for me in my life. This time I am awed at myself, I have a new found respect, joy and peace.

Below is a list from someone I dont know personally, but was very humbled by their 25 things.

1. I believe in making things happen, not waiting for things to happen - this sometimes gets me in trouble.
2. I think there is a little piece of God in all of us and we need to be Gods that know how to grow up.
3. I have been blessed with the most intelligent, thoughtful and beautiful bride, whatever I did to deserve her I will never understand.
4. My mother had a 'saying' on the wall for years. It said - "Vee get too soon olt and too late schmart" - I am beginning to understand it as true.
5. I do not like cats, dunno why.
6. I only get sunburns, never tan.
7. I am only old on the outside.
8. I love people, most are a disappointment.
9. We are much better at war then we are at peace.
10. Making love should take a looooong time.
11. When emotions go up, logic goes down.
12. Killing is wrong, killing over religion is absurd.
13. A penny saved is ...................... not much.
14. When times are hard - Never lose hope, but do something about it!
15. Children are wonderful, but they need to grow up & go away! (for you to keep your sanity).
16. Real friendships are forever.
17. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't .....................make him thirsty.
18. I love apple pie.
19. Most things that are bad for you are a lot of fun.
20. Reading is healthy!
21. Acts of kindness are often taken as a weakness - it's a shame.
22. Hard work can be a great thing.
23. If you live long enough you will face the things in life that brought you feelings of shame or embarrassment and be a better person.
24. I do not believe in government(s)
25. You can live a long time before you achieve 'balance', you then will live the rest of your life trying to maintain it.
