Blog Post 17// Isms -- Part 1 of Many
This is a post for those who just want to glean something I have gleaned—and hopefully smile at the same time. The following is a list of isms—things I’ve picked up along the way. I often pass these along to those I love. Listen and follow at your own risk—I mean, reward.
If you can help it, at a red light, don’t be in the far right lane when you want to go straight. It’s super annoying.
Never buy a Prius. There’s just something about them. And I often am stuck behind one. DRIVE!
When you are married, winning a fight isn’t winning at all.
Another thing about marriage, it’s not going to be “fair.” Seeking fairness will leave you frustrated. It’s never 50/50. It’s always bringing 100, even if you feel that it’s not being reciprocated in that particular situation.
Never entertain any conversation with anyone who thinks the iPhone isn’t the best phone around. Please.
Embrace your limitations. I am not handy and I am okay with it. I could get better but that’ll just frustrate me. I’d rather “know a guy” anyway. Depending on others is not necessarily a bad thing. It’s a human thing.
Find out the things that fill you and drain you and make sure you are doing far more of the things that fill you.
Taking a Sabbath is still a must for the long-term health of your soul.
Don’t wait to text/call someone you “randomly’ thought about. My experience is that the time you thought of them is significant.
If your favorite pizza is Papa Johns (or any big chain), we probably can’t be friends.
Always remember that the person you’re talking to is someone Jesus purposefully died for. That’ll change how you view them and how you interact with them. Every. Time.
That’s all for now.
