It seems I've spent quite a bit of time in the chiropractor's office lately. On one of my recent visits, my head hurt too bad to read while I had the accupuncture needles in my head, so I picked up a couple of magazines from the table and took them with me to the room. The People magazine seemed perfect for my head because it was filled with pictures. I didn't care that it was a special issue from December. Today I found the magazine and wondered why I had brought it home.
As I looke through it, I remembered. Actually I was intrigued by this issue. The opening section was title "What Book Changed Your Life?" Although a single book didn't change my life; books changed my life. "Words to Live By" followed later in the issue. Someone, Nora Ephron, I knew nothing about kept me entertained. She had a list of "What I Wish I'd Known." This is the part I wanted to keep and share. "Never a marry a man you wouldn't want to be divorced from" reminded me of my poor (after the divorce literally) father's divorce. "Don't buy anything that is 100% wool even if it seems to be very soft and not particularly itchy when you try it on in the store" reminded me of my friend Sheree who has an aversion to wool although I love it (with a layer underneath). The one's I could personally relate to were: "*Block everyone on your instant mail *You never know *Write everything down" *Take more pictures *You can order more than one dessert *You can't own too many black turtleneck sweaters *Back up your files *Overtip" A couple from the list frighten me especially "*Anything you think is wrong with your body at the age of 35 you will be nostalgic for at 45." Say it's not true! I wonder what I'd put on my list? What would you put on your list?
