13 Simple Truths
“Some things/you know all your life. They are so simple and true/they must be said without elegance, meter and rhyme,/they must be laid on the table beside the salt shaker,/the glass of water, the absence of light gathering/ in the shadows of picture frames, they must be/ naked and alone, they must stand for themselves.”
- Philip Levine
- Remember what is important to you.

- No deposit, no return.

I really like your list, Cajunvegan! Great principles by which to live your life. I’ve just posted my TT here.
Happy TT!
Yep, those ARE important things to remember, aren’t they? If we all tried to do most of those things, the world would be a better place.
Or at least more interesting.
Happy TT! (and all my characters are most like me, of course!)
Love , Love, Love your simple truth!!!
Have a happy TT!!! Mine is up @thenononsense.blogspot.com
Very good list, and all so true. Also: never do something just because you are worried about what people might think.
Some good maxims to aspire to there.
Great TT
One addition….Follow your bliss. That’s my current favorite mantra as I sit up way too late finishing homework. My bliss is coming….soon….
Have a great day!
