A brilliant email I received recently, adapted from the writings of South African author Maretha Maartens.
1. Mr Right's ego is a thin membrane. Stay away from a man with an even thinner ego, else you will be held responsible when it tears.
2. Don't be too eager to get engaged or get married. If he is meant to be, he wouldn't allow another woman to steal him away within the next 6 months.
3. When adopted children walk all over your heart, it's not because they are adopted, it's because they are kids.
4. The hearts of elderly parents are as vulnerable as their hips.
5. Married daughters or daughters-in-law's dirty floors, sticky kettle and tacky decor is fine just as it is!
6. You don't have to attend everything you are invited to, you don't have to do everything, remember everything, have everything or know everything.
7. Your weight is fine as long as your thighs are not rubbing and chafing sore.
8. Whatever you are going through - that too shall pass.
9. The fight against aging is interesting, but in acceptance is a treasure of peace.
10. When we stop dressing up nicely and hide underneath tracksuits and oversize t-shirts, we lie and say "I am comfortable like this" - what we really say is "I don't feel comfortable in my own skin."
11. When all else fails - God cares.
12. When we obsess about developing a certain talent in our childrens' lives, we seldom realise how many potential friends they lose.
13. Divorce is not an unforgivable sin, but it's a shark-attack on children.
14. Sex is meant to be enjoyed.
15. The seed of unforgivable sins lie buried under the sand in each one of us, waiting to be watered so that it can grow.
16. Guard your heart as that controls your future.
17. Life is hard. Men want softness. A woman should never be too approachable, too independent, too talkative, too quiet, too dependent, too suspicious, too gullible or too hasty.
18. To only want in life is selfish - give a little!
19. The world does not revolve around you. You'd be surprised to know how seldom others talk about you.
20. You may be only one person in the world, but to one person you mean the world.
