21 things-with my comments added, of course
ONE Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. I swear I try to remember that one. And I really am getting better...
TWO Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other. duh, why do you think I married D?
THREE Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want. That's one to take to heart
FOUR When you say, "I love you," mean it. I could never do otherwise. And I love you baby
FIVE When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye. How else can you show you mean it? Although I have a hard time out of embarrasment
SIX Be engaged at least six months before you get married. Woops
SEVEN Believe in love at first sight. I never did before I met you
EIGHT Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much. And people who dream are the people that make the world turn

FOURTEEN Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk. And that's the scary part
FIFTEEN Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze. Always
SIXTEEN When you lose, don't lose the lesson True, but hard to remember
SEVENTEEN Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions. Wouldn't it be great if we all did that?!
EIGHTEEN Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship. I've held on over more than a little dispute. But you can't control other people
NINETEEN When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. I try
TWENTY Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice. That is so true
TWENTY-ONE Spend some time alone. Hehe, we all know I don't have a problem with that!
