Live your life the Benjamin Franklin way… The 13 rules to live by, written by the genious himself.


Quoted:
1. Temperance: Eat not to dullness and drink not to elevation.
2. Silence: Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself. Avoid trifling conversation.
3. Order: Let all your things have their places. Let each part of your business have its time.
4. Resolution: Resolve to perform what you ought. Perform without fail what you resolve.
5. Frugality: Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself: i.e. Waste nothing.
6. Industry: Lose no time. Be always employed in something useful. Cut off all unnecessary actions.
7. Sincerity: Use no hurtful deceit. Think innocently and justly; and, if you speak, speak accordingly.
8. Justice: Wrong none, by doing injuries or omitting the benefits that are your duty.
9. Moderation: Avoid extremes. Forebear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.
10. Cleanliness: Tolerate no uncleanness in body, clothes or habitation.
11. Chastity: Rarely use venery but for health or offspring; Never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another’s peace or reputation.
12. Tranquility: Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.
13. Humility: Imitate Jesus and Socrates

[From my friend Eric Franklin... :-) ]

Ok, well my dog decided to get sick for the past couple of days. Probably going to have to take her to the vet to see if they can ‘dry her up’ a little… poor little girl. I think she snuck over to meet the boys (dogs) next door and caught some kind of dog diaherria from them… yikes. It’s been quite an interesting couple of days to say the least.

Sorry for the content here.. but I figured it would be the best ‘official post’ of my blog.
