Rule: Are there rules?????

I noted a few "rule breaking" quotes because I have had a lot of fun writing the "rules" I learned in my life during the blogging process....More accurately, they are just "things" that I learned along the way as I find myself older (yuk!)and hopefully wiser.....I think that there is quite a path of self discovery during a woman's life....As time goes on, our "BS" meter is infinitely more attuned, and we become more aware of what is good for us, and what is not....To embrace the positive things in our lives, we have to accept what "went wrong", or didn't play out as planned (ha!-what EVER goes as "planned?"), learn from it, and keep moving forward....I find that I am easier on myself than I was when I was younger...I accept that "perfect" will never be attained, and I "settle" for just being the best friend, sister, daughter, Godmother, aunt, niece, and girlfriend that I can be... Women can be series of contradictions....I like to think of it as the "X" factor that keeps us "interesting!"

    Thanks for that "x-factor" comment...now I have an excuse to try and explain to Ron why I am the way I am sometimes...lol! Rules or no rules...I am finally learning that I need to just be what I am and not try to please everyone! It definitely is liberating!

    One of the things I LOVE about Mark Harmon (well there's the obvious) and the show NCIS is his 40+ rules...My X factor for sure kicks in and maybe that's why I really try to always be a "glass half full." When you are THISCLOSE to being around for a half a century, when my BS meter even starts flickering (in the old days it was the Fuzz Buster haha), you can FORGETABOUTIT (in my best Fonzy impression) cuz I'm just not interested! If you hear fireworks from the Southern region of the state, specifically the Northern Florida area, and it's right around the first week of December, it will be the Grim Reaper (aka BIG 5-0) celebrations!!!! ya'll come! (at least virtually)
