I was just sitting here with the Super Bowl on down stairs and not listening to it and I started thinking about different mantras I have had hang on my wall and how little impact they actually made in the grand scheme of things.
Right after I married Earl Duane, I made a little cross stitch thing that said "Home Sweet Home".
Two divorces and 5 kids later I had a bumper sticker that said "If It Feels Good Do It."
Then I changed cars and husbands and of course a new bumper sticker. "Horn Broken. Watch for finger!" That was my rebellious years.
Followed by "Love Many, Trust Few, Always Paddle Your Own Canoe."
Then came Kenny and I began to grow into myself. The needlework on the bathroom wall now said "Ewe's not fat, Ewe's fluffy! That was the cutesy one.
Then came "When you are over the hill, you pick up speed."
That was followed immediately by "You know you are old when everything either, sags, dries up, or leaks."
Today I stare at my final thought for the day. "Of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most."
