- It’s very easy to talk about people without mentioning their names. Those who know them will know exactly who you’ve referred to, and a fair number of others will be certain you’re talking about themselves. Avoid talking about others at all costs.
- Those who care about us often make well-meaning suggestions for ways in which we can improve our circumstances or our state of mind. Sometimes we welcome the advice, but more often we feel as though we’re being told what to do. Always thank them for their advice, even if you have no intention of following it, and remind yourself to give unsolicited instruction only in exceptional circumstances, such as when someone is about to injure themselves.
- Laugh to yourself whenever you can.

Sound advice from Jane Wilson. File this under the category:I wish I had said this!
Love it. So much so, that I reblogged it. Hope you don’t mind I borrowed it, Jane.
I find I’m more hesitant lately to share my thoughts, so it’s really nice to hear someone agrees.
Thanks, Nan.
I really like your thoughts–good ones, Jane!
Judee,
Thanks to the positive responses I’ve received, I may try this again, and ask readers to add their own. When I wrote it, my intention was to memorialize my own promises to myself. It helps a LOT to know others think their sensible ideas.
