The 2011 Life List

Instead of making new years resolutions this year, I decided to list a few life lessons I learned in 2010 that I wish to remember in 2011.

The 2011 Life List

-Take care of yourself first...then the rest of life will follow suit.

-Daily happiness is a learned art, you must work at it.

-If you truly want something or someone in your life, you will make time for them. Even if you have the world's busiest schedule, there is always time to fit in the things you care about the most.

-If life is 80% wonderful, focus on that wonderful 80%. Focusing on the 20% that may not be as perfect as you'd like it will only ruin your already existent wonderful majority.

-Life is made up of the little things. Don't. Cut. Corners. on the little things.

-Never take those you love for granted, show your love and appreciation for them often.

-Who I share my life with is more important to me than where I live...thank goodness 2011 brings Chicago.

-Talking often to my grandparents helps me maintain perspective on life. How could it not when they have 50+ years of life experience on me?

So...here's to 2011. May it be just as wonderful and enriching as 2010.
