42 Words Of Wisdom Or Wise Words While Aging

What makes me such an expert on life that I would have words of wisdom to give you?

Well…

Last night I had scads and scads of nightmares which I guess set me up for today.

I accomplished nothing. N-O-T-H-I-N-G.

I ate foods I’m allergic to and did so in bulk.

I took a long nap.

I woke up depressed this morning because my nightmares were of failures I’ve made in my life and my stupidity.

Soooooooo I spent the day thinking about E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.

By the end of the day, I pretty much hated myself. That’s something my therapist would be telling me is “not allowed” and so while the sun was setting I took a couple hours to sit in front of the computer to read things that would add value to my life and help me to feel better about myself.

While I was thinking today, I had a few wise words that I thought I would share with you.
