Self-Evident Truths

When taking a 5-Mile walk do NOT eat a large meal in the middle of it. You can either digest OR exercise, not BOTH.

When attending a pilates class after said walk, you WILL earn the nick-name "Windy"

When driving to Colorado, from Ohio, in late Summer, do NOT leave at Dawn. The sun Never EVER sets.

There are Exes and there are Whys and too many of either is generally not good.

It IS possible to be friends (and good friends at that) with an Ex but it takes a LOT of time, personal growth and forgiveness on both sides.

Just when you think life couldn't possibly kick you in the ass any more, it does. But it usually gives you something pretty cool too. If you can stop focusing on the ass-kicking for a minute, you might actually see it.

You get what you pay for, and you pay for what you get.

The path not traveled is not necessarily better than the one you're on. Just different.

If you could go back in time and make yourself do something differently, It wouldn't work because:

a) Our choices are based on the information available at the time;
b) Our choices are based on our head space at the time;
c) We probably had someone in our life, at the time, telling us to (or not to do something) and we didn't listen because we were sure we were doing the right thing; and
d) Self meeting Future-Self = Inevitable Freak-Out

If you could go back in time and change a major historical event (ie: Kill Hitler before he comes to power), it probably won't work because everything that happens is just one event in a continuum. Changing one element may change the outcome, but not necessarily for the better. Good can come out of even the worst of events.

The best thing is to Focus on RIGHT NOW, because that's all you have. But understand that RIGHT NOW, affects tomorrow.

In all of your experiences, good and bad, the common denominator is you.

It's better to be lonely by yourself, than with another person.

Alone and Lonely are NOT the same thing.

There is NOTHING wrong with being a Crazy Cat Lady.

Always make sure you've got your back.

Fear can be useful but it can also keep you down. If it's not life-threatening, try it. You have a 50/50 chance of success. If you don't try at all, you are 100 percent guaranteed to fail

It is better to regret something you have done, than something you haven't done... MOST of the time.

Eating nasty food that gives you crampy gas is one of those exceptions

Urine is Sterile
