Things I have learned about life, inspired by Kindergarten Wisdom.
 
1.  If you make a mess, you really should clean it up.
 
2.  Boys can be weird.  Girls can be weird.  Just depends which side of the fence you're on.
 
3.  Laugh everyday.  Repeat as necessary.
 
4.  Always be kind.  (This includes being kind to yourself.)  The world can be an unfriendly intimidating place, and small kindnesses can make a real difference in somebody's day.
 
5.  Try not to be gross where people can see you.  We all belch, we all fart, and we all pick our noses, but as mama said, we all should do those things in private, dear.
 
6.  Don't take yourself too seriously.  Find your inner silliness, and celebrate it.  (See Truth #3.)
 
7.  Sometimes, it's a great idea to forget the salad, and eat an ice cream sundae for dinner.  I don't care what the food police say.
 
8.  Always try your best.  We don't always succeed, but at least try.
 
9.  If you hurt someone's feelings, say you're sorry.  And try hard not to do it again.
 
10.  It's okay to ask for help if you need it.  Thank those who help you, and help others when you can.
 
 
Add more to the list if you like.  And go be silly.

    11. When making cookies, always always eat some of the cookie dough.  

    I just made cookies and I don't think I've ever made cookies without eating some of the dough, it's the best part.    I like your list ^_^

    What a fantastic list.  Hmmm, one of my own to add?  Oh, I have to add this one, after an interesting conversation about pickles with my 10 year old nephew ... at the end of which he quietly (with a smart alec grin on his face) said 'You know, I don't even like pickles, I just think they're funny.'

    12.  Never be afraid to talk about your ideas or how you feel, even if somebody thinks it's 'weird', you never know what good things could come of it.

    13. If someone tells you to take a nap, do it.

    14. Don't buy into society's idea of success until you really really think about it. Do you think all the people who are successful by society's standards, are happy?
     
    Personally I think it's more important to live by Mimi's rules and enjoy the simple things of life. Last month, while visiting at a friend's cottage, I enjoyed a glorious show that the night's stars put on...priceless and it was free.

    That's a great list and it's good to see those things to remind me of what's important. I think I'd like to add:
    17. There is always time for a hug.
