This was received from a dear friend of mine, and I thought very appropriate for this board. Read and enjoy.....or just toss it. Your choice. Hugs, Judy
Old Farmer's Advice
Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.
Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.
Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled.
Meanness don't jes' happen overnight.
Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.
Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.
It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.
You cannot unsay a cruel word.
Every path has a few puddles.
When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
The best sermons are lived, not preached.
Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen anyway.
Don 't judge folks by their relatives.
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
Live a good, honorable life.. Then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.
Don 't interfere with somethin' that ain't bothering you none.
Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a Rain dance.
If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.
Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin'.
Always drink upstream from the herd.
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.
Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in.
If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around..
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply.
Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

Excellent words to live by! Most of them anyway. I'm a mortgage banker, so I'm not sure how I feel about that one. LOL
You are right. Our
Judi,
You are right. Our lists are so much the same. Yours is the country style and mine is city style but still the underlying words are so identical. Funny, that we both posted today. I love being in sync. And so much truth in both.

Stef, the real difference is that you are a California girl, and I am in deep East Texas, the cultural center of the world. HA! As far as you are concerned, MyTurnNow, I am also a retired banker, and got a good chuckle out of that one. I guess living your life by trusting instinct is what both of the posts are meant to say. Coincidence we both had the same thought process. Hugs to all.
