Playing Catch-up to September and October...

In the switch from writing "notes" on facebook, to posting on my "big girl blog", I forgot to maintain my wisdom from the wall routine (for those of you who don't understand what I'm talking about... I usually post all the "instructional verses" from my wall calendar at work, mixed with a little of my own... Needless to say I am behind). SO.. Here we go:

For September:

Remember that everybody has bad days.
Learn to eat with chopsticks.
Support family businesses.
Carefully examine your written work when you are finished.
Have your piano tuned every six months.
Avoid automated teller machines and gas stations at night.
Remember: the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing. (*And no, I didn't add this... but this always reminds me of Brad Bowen's Missions Talks)
When you see someone sitting alone on a bench, make it a point to speak to them.

For October:

Don't buy cheap picture frames.
Criticize the behavior, not the person.
Never leave fun to find fun.
Don't buy a cheap motorcycle helmet.
Own a world globe.
Go for long, hand-holding walks with your spouse.
Don't buy a cheap tennis racket.
Never ignore a ringing fire alarm.
Be sure to voice your complements to businesses and employees.
Don't force machinery.
Set personal spending limits on things like shoes, coffee, cell phones, etc.
Don't be misled, some of the most well-dressed people are thrift shoppers.
