Written By
Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio

"To
celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught
me. It is
the most-requested column I've ever written."

My odometer rolled over to
90 in August, so here is the column once=2 0more:

1. Life isn't
fair, but it's still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next
small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4.
Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and
parents
will. Stay in touch.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6.
You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with
someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

8. It's OK to get angry
wit h God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first
paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is
futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the
present.

12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don't
compare your life to others. You have no idea what their
journey is all
about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in
it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry;
God
never blinks.

16. Take a deep breath. It calms the
mind.

17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or
joyful.

18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you
stronger.

19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the
second one
is up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going
after what you love in life, don't take no
for an answer.

21. Burn the
candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie.
Don't save it for a
special occasion. Today is special.

22. Over prepare, then go with the
flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear
purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one
is in charge of your happiness but you.

26. Frame every so-called
disaster with these words 'In five years,
will this matter?'

27.
Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone everything.

29. What
other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost
everything. Give time time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it
will change.

32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else
does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who
God is, not because of anything you
did or didn't do.

35. Don't audit
life. Show up and make the most of it now.

36. Growing old beats the
alternative -- dying young.

37. Your children get only one
childhood.

38. All that truly matters in the end is that you
loved.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting
everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw
everyone
else's,we'd grab ours back.

41. Envy is a waste of time. You
already have all you need.

42. The best is yet to come.

43. No
matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show u p.

44. Yield.

45.
Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."
