Ha, I like these! I agree that adopting a pet is an excellent idea. Adopting more than one is even better :) I've never had anise (to my knowledge), but I'll sure avoid it now! Yuck!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them! I really hope I can add another pet to the pack soon! A lot of people love anise but I really cannot stand the smell. My grandma always made anise cookies and I hated them. Also anise schnaps!
DeleteHi Katrin
ReplyDeletenice list! but I can't have a meal without onions!! :P
and I agree completely with point no. 7..lol!
Thanks Ankita! I will never understand how people can love onions! ;) Glad you agree on #7! :)
DeleteThank you for sharing these life lessons - it’s nice to break free from the self doubt that holds us back from embracing our dreams and living a fulfilling life or even preventing these things from happening.
ReplyDeleteBummers about the anise, I love star anise! Have you tried ground anise before?
It is so easy to stay away from your dreams just because of doubts. But I am sure we would regret not trying it. So I always try to remind myself of that.
DeleteI think I tried all kinds of anise. I just do not like the smell at all. My grandma always made anise cookies and I hated them so much!
love this! i really love the quote.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it! :) Thanks!
DeleteYes, EAT MORE CHOCOLATE!!! Always! And I love #29 as well, never stop learning.
ReplyDeleteBut above all, EAT MORE CHOCOLATE!!
Chocolate is good. :) Glad you agree. Just had some!
DeleteOnions are evil - yes! :-)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you agree!!
DeleteVery wise and very funny! xo
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sara! Glad you like it!
DeleteGood ones, there are so many important life lessons that we need to look back and reflect on once in a while.
ReplyDeleteFor me an lesson was that although we hear many horrible stories in the news the vast majority of people are actually good and compassionate even if the business of our world means you can't always see it.
True! Sometimes it is good to have a reminder of those things. It is easy to forget them once in a while.
DeleteAnd I agree on your lesson. It is just so hard to believe sometimes when you see all the horrible things people do. But the majority isn't like that.
I love this! Such great reminders! Thank you! I remember you saying you hated onions! I hate the smell!
ReplyDeleteHave a fab day! Hugs xxx
Glad you like it, Chrissy! Thank you! I really really hate onions! The smell and everything else about it! The taste, the texture...:) Have a great day! Hugs!
DeleteI agree with many of these, but especially #18!!
ReplyDeleteYou must have a sever dislike of onions to put them on your list twice! ;)
That's cool you agree on #18. I can't just walk by, I always give money to people and dogs in need.
DeleteYeah, I really really hate onions! I just can't stand them! :) I eat everything else (which is vegan) but I just can't make myself eat onions.
I'm not big on onions either. Never really was. Books, oh how I love books, and reading. Wish I had more time to indulge. Think I'll try to read a good one over Christmas break. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but I always really hated them. I don't think that will ever change! Hope you can read a lot over Christmas break! We really need more time for books!
Deletenice list, I agreed with almost all of them, I did have to look up #3 but it doesn't sound like something I want to eat anyway.
ReplyDeletelife lessons? I don't really have much to offer as you mostly have already listed them but I would say, don't blame yourself too much when something goes wrong, because you're only human
hope you have a great day.
Thank you, Lissa! I am glad you agree on so many things. I think a lot of people like anise but I just can't stand the smell I guess.
DeleteAnd your lesson is definitely important, you are so right! Thanks for sharing!
