It occurs to me that we, the ladies of Journal Land, have experienced much and have the venue perfect for relating our hard won wisdom for future generations to heed.  (as if they will!). 

I don't know about y'all, but my life has been a comedy of errors.  If it could go wrong, it did.  Here is my Wisdom List - I would like it very much if you would all post one of your own so I won't feel so all alone.   :-)

1.  The day before an important meeting or interview, double check your blow-dryer, lest you end up sitting in front of a box fan and praying over the styling brush.
2.  If you must get pregnant - a) Choose your husband/significant other carefully.  You never know when one of those might run off and join the circus.  b) time your pregnancy so your due date cannot coincide with the only blizzard to occur in your area in 150 years.
3.  Never, ever, ever wear a brand new pair of heels to work and expect to be able to walk to the parking lot at closing time.
4.  Double check before you leave home that you have your blouse on right side out.  It's rather embarrasing when you're approached in the lobby by a laughing coworker who whispers in your ear - "Best run to the restroom before you go upstairs" - on more than one occasion.
5.  Never assume that just because the house was empty when you walked into the shower that it will be empty when you walk back out.
6.  If you MUST be tripped by a rogue rock in a parking lot, try not to fall flat on your face.
7.  In the same vein, never carry 20 lbs. of tomatoes up concrete steps.  One false step and - Voila!  tomato juice.

Well, that's about it, if you don't count choose your friends and your cats carefully and take the high road every chance you get. 

I hope you'll all post your own Wisdom Lists.

Namaste.
