I found a very cool blog today. Its Sharon B's blog called inaminuteago and she has a great embroidery stitch reference library too. How come I didn't know about this before??
What really struck me was her 'Wisdom of the Ages' project. I've read through most people's contributions but what struck me was how similar most people's lessons from life are. These are mine:
- Depression is the result of unrealistic expectations. Lower your expectations and you'll find yourself happier in life.
- Don't expect too much of people. Most people are doing the best that they can and even if they aren't - unless they want to, there is no chance that your expectations will change their behaviour.
- Remember that whatever you say is 'out there' Like a tv signal going out into outer space, once you've said it there is no way you can get it back, so be careful what you say.
