    I most agree with #13. It’s right you know, life is too short for anything that doesn’t make us happy.

      I totally agree. That’s why hubby and I travel as much as we can now why we’re healthy and fit instead of leaving it until we retire.

    #7 so so true

  3. CountryDew

    Yay for Drew Barrymore. Enjoy life – it’s the only one we have, after all. It’s just too bad that modern lifestyles make the enjoyment part turn into unhealthy.

  4. Alice Audrey

    I’ll stick with my diet. I’m much happier a few pounds (40) lighter.

  5. Heather L

    I like numbers 8 and 13. My T13

  6. Maria Zannini

    While I don’t agree, Joan Rivers’ quote made me laugh out loud.

    #13 fits me to a T.
