You have it ALL covered!! Some of these are hard, and some not, but these are all such good goals!! Would be good to look it over, see what we need to work on, and keep those on the fridge as reminders.
Good question.
Have you thought about having your poems published? They are very good.

I think this one should be posted on a fridge as Ginny said.Thanks for these thought provoking questions.
Yes, another Great 'printable' to post & remember daily!!! Great job again, Karin!!!
Hugs,
Coreen xoxoxo
Oh Karin...
I see your heart as beautiful...
This poem says everything...with your permission, I would love to post this on my fridge...
Amazing!

Why not indeed!
Always lifts my spirits to visit Karin. Today, our painter was discussing respect (or lack of) from neighbors who stereotype. I shared with him neighbors who once poked fun of my visually impaired mother. We all need to remember to speak kindly, respect one another and have compassion for each other.
I love this.
Yes, why not?
I think I'll join those who have said this deserves a spot on the refrigerator door.
Thank you for the birthday wishes.
Why not! I think I will work harder at doing all of those suggestions. What a wonderful post!
a life well lived.
Ruth is right - I want to post that on my fridge.
What a great reminder.
Love all those 'ly' words!
If only we imperfect humans could only learn from these wise words!!!! This is inspirational Karin.
Why not, indeed!
Best question of the day girlfriend!!!
Why not???
God bless ya sweetie and enjoy your day!!!
Karin, my friend, what an inspiring list! A goal to set before us before we begin each day!
I love your blog... wonderful!
I wanted to specially thank you for your last comment on my blog ... I'm sorry about your nephew...but so grateful that God was triumphant inspite of his difficult trials !
Well said! You bless me Karin...so much encouragement when I come here!
Thank you for sharing your powerful testimony of how God in "His perfect timing deals with everything." It is comforting to hear words like this coming from faithful people like you.
A beautiful blueprint for a life well-lived!
Good question. Why not?
A wonderful list to live by.
Blessings!
Amen! Sounds like a winner to me. I think I'm somewhere between the age gracefully and die peacefully these days :-)
An interview with a woman who survived our earthquake said she screamed so loudly that her rescuer was afraid he might drop her.
I wonder if those who died in the earthquakes in Nz and Japan were peaceful
Why not, indeed!
Thanks for visiting my blog. I LOVE your blog!! And Alberta looks like a place I would love to visit. I will be coming back to visit.
Karin, what a joy to read. I would love to make this into a bookmark for my bible study friends, may I?
Love and Blessings,
Jan
@ Ann - I gave your question some thought and very strongly feel that those who lives are hidden in the Lord died peacefully in their spirits, even though it was horrifically, untimely, and tragically in the physical. Thanks for raising the question!
Thanks, Karin, for your helpful answer to Ann's question. That will be an answer I will keep and return to when I have questions like Ann's.
This has been so beautifully spoken.
Thanks again for the 'Why Not?'
What more could be said. Awesome thank you for sharing. Blessings.
What a beautiful list. And so timely for these difficult days.
