28 Thing To Do List

I recently read a blog about "50 Things I Learned in 50 Years" and needless to say it got me thinking. This awesome place has so much to offer and often times we take it for granted. In my 28 years here there have been so many things I have learned and so I put them in a list in now particular order, for you to ponder.

1. Embrace your feelings, anger, happiness, sad, whatever you feel at the time, embrace. We focus so much on trying to be happy, understand the other feeling and often times we end up happier.
2. Take a cold shower, for that time you sit under the cold shower be thankful.
3. Drink a great cup of coffee, coffee is so good, so sit drink and be you.
4. Eat something you not suppose to, like a doughnut or those little heart attack pies they sell in the grocery store. Every now and again partake.
5. Take pictures, you never know what you will capture.
6. Adopt the pick up rule, don't wait until the whole house, car, desk is a complete wreck.
7. Make your bed everyday, there is nothing better than coming hope to a made up bed!
8. Make someone's day, an older 85+ gentleman came up to me yesterday, out of the blue and said "I bet no one wants to wrestle you!" I laughed and walked away with a smile.
9. Change is always going to happen, let it and you will not be disappointed.
10. If you happen to believe in God, say a prayer just to say one.
11. When things get tough, welcome the challenge and roll with even if it sucks bad!
12. Give your dad a hug every day even when you get older.
13. Don't remember dumb stuff like numbers and addresses, Albert Einstein said it wastes room in your brain for creativity.
14. Your family are and always will be there for you, always go with the family.
15. Eat organic, it seems to be the way.
16. When no one is a around or even if they are, run through a hallway and feel really fast!
17. Don't have a baby until you are done with college, please.
18. Swing on a swing, even when you get older.
19. Go to as many professional sporting events as possible, you never know something great might happen.
20. Eat by yourself every once in a while. It's okay, you may feel dumb the first time but I always manage to be super creative during those times.
21. On this 21st birthday, don't be the cliche, but have a cocktail, something you never had before. Try to remember this day because it is pretty cool.
22. Graduate from college, it's worth it.
23. Be nice to everyone, they might not like you but while they are concerning themselves with you, you will be passing them by.
24. Don't be afraid to help someone up. Contrary to the last one, sometimes people just need a little boost to get over themselves.
25. A lady used to house-sit for said, always have good mattresses and good window, do not skimp!
26. Remember you are growing up a Duke fan.
27. Babe Ruth is and always will be the greatest baseball player of all time.
28. Do not let the phrase "I love you" go with out meaning. Every time you utter those words, they should come from deep inside.
