Navigating the New Year: A List, Part 3

For the last two days and today,  I'm posting a list I wrote at the beginning of the new year.  Don't take it too seriously, or take it very seriously - whatever speaks to you.  I'm not talking to anyone in particular, or everyone in particular, or quite possibly myself.

In other words, take it for what it is worth - not much, but there are a few laughs in there.  It has forty-five bullets, so 15 on each day.  Here are the last 15:

31. When it is a choice between doing something or cleaning, do the thing. The dirt will be there tomorrow. (Unless a holiday is coming, then clean. You have to cleans sometime.)
32. Just because I don't share your Facebook post does not mean I don't love God.  Stop telling me that it does.
33. When you say, "I wish I had the time to..." you do realize that everyone's days have the same number of hours, right?  Choose differently.
34. If you are feeling overwhelmed, throw something away. Literally. 
35. Listen. And don’t let your answer (if there needs to be one) begin with “that is like when I...” too often. It’s not about you. 
36. Not everyone wants or needs your advice.  
37. Don’t brag about your ability to say “no” unless you say “yes” sometimes. 
38. Laugh - it is very good for you. 
39. Make a list and check things off. Even a false sense of accomplishment can motivate you to get things done. And a list will clear your mind for the action that needs done. 
40. If your brain is nagging you about something, listen to it. It’s your brain, and it has been right before. 
41. Ask why. 
42. Check Snopes before re-posting. You are responsible for what you post, and it’s probably not true. 
43. When you are posting in response to someone, imagine you are sitting in his living room, and your mother is with you. Would you say it then?  
44. Proofread. And if necessary (and it probably is necessary) ask someone else to read it, too. 
45. Beware of lists like this. Investigate the truth of everything on your own.
