How many times have you started a sentence with, “Didn’t I tell you…?” Usually it’s said with exasperation, which eventually morphs into expectation.
It’s what we expect the response to be — unheard. Maybe it’s heard but not acknowledged, or heard but ignored.
So for all these reasons, I am going to fall back on my motto, which I created years ago:
Write your piece. Find your peace.
Maybe a few of these words will resonate, and the next generation, which is leading their children, will borrow my words. They’re free of charge and will pay me enormous respect and actual glee if they do.
They’re not in any particular order, other than I like starting my lists with something funny (but true):
Don’t grow horseradish: The plant will definitely outlive the landscaper who planted it. I said “yes” to our then-20-year-old landscaper-in-the-making. We were “exploring opportunities to be unique.” He's flown the coop and started a family, and we are left digging it out again and again. No opportunities have surfaced.
I’m about dogs, our lovable and peculiar families, business, and writing in a wide lane, including fiction. I’m a positivity washer too. www.jillebstein.com
Make exercise a daily experience. It doesn’t have to be long or complicated. It could be as simple as a good walk.
For me, it is table tennis Jill... I have always enjoyed playing it. It hardly feels like exercise when you are having fun, and that is what makes it easier to keep going..
