Katherine Tucker Wyndem this morning. Talking about sandwiches. She says the best sandwich is a tomatoe sandwich on white bread. It has to be on white bread, no other kind is the same.
Life is good as long as you have the right sandwich.

Some things to keep in mind when times are tough.

"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written."
My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone for everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's,we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."

Watching the sun come up over the river while listening to the music of my beautiful wind chimes and sitting on the upstairs deck next to Mr. Cat. Doesn't get much better than that.
Having your pretty 36 year old wife get pissed at you when two twenty something girls come up and talk to you in the grocery store. Made me feel good any way.
I've seen Mrs. AA. She is a beautiful woman who has nothing to worry about!!!
She just came in looked at the screen over my shoulder read what you wrote and said Thank You Basement Cat you have made my day!
Oh, mommer, I love that! My favorite is number 32!
I know several people who should try and comprehend that particular thought. Thanks so much for posting those. I'm going to print them out on beautiful paper so I can look at them often.

Cheese grits with homegrown tomatoes for breakfast.
My new shampoo from the salon. No kidding, I've been smelling my hair all day. Gee, my hair smells terrific! (sorry)
Salon shampoo is a great thing. It is nice for your hair to feel the same everyday, that it does right after a new haircut. I can totally relate.

When your wee one likes your X's significant other. Seems he's found a good one because she's the only one the kitten has liked. She tells me there could be wedding bells soon. (Basement Cat approves of this kind woman in kitten's life.)

Having the most precious children in my life anyone could ever ask for, thinking life is unfair UNTIL you finally find the right person to share it with. Knowing without a doubt that you have met your soul mate and that he loves you for who you are. There is nothing that he wouldn’t do for you, or you for him. Thank you God for sending me the “perfect” partner and the Perfect family.

Got some new teeth, bumbles? Darn, I was looking forward to seeing a gummy smile.
you still can!
Are you gonna start taking out your teeth (at the M&Gs) like my uncle used to at the family reunions?

That's great, BC! Children usually have keen discernment about these things.
I dream of someday living in either Alabama or Oklahoma. Ive been to Oklahoma a few times and the folks are so hospitable. Judging by what I read in here, Alabama seems just as friendly. Take me home!

When my "grown" ones approve of my significant other!!! THAT means a lot.
