Know what I like about this list? All of them ... except for one ... the Yankee fans are NOT the only fans I'll have you know!! LOL
Your list is wonderful and I've read them several times to get them all in my memory. So many fantastic ones you have here, author, but I kinda like these as my favorites ...
Greatness is within you
Open up your heart to those in need
Remember, no one is better then you are
I hope you remember these every day and I'll try to as well.
Best wishes in the contest.
Smiles,
Indy :>)

Thanks Indy for reading my ABC's and commenting. The list is a compilation of a lifetime of learning and is never completed. All one can do is try... thanks again for reading.
Comment from Thesis
I like your list. It's selfless and refreshing. It speaks to goodness and doing the right thing, and more importantly, stresses honesty.
You also have the right team in your "Y" line, although they better get their act together soon,LOL.
Sounds like you've become wise in your 57 years.

Comment from judiverse
This is a great contest entry. ABCs of Life is a great theme to work with. You have some good words of advice as you go through the alphabet. I don't know which letter of advice I liked the best, although the one about Stop complaining, nobody's listening was outstanding. They all worked so well. These are excellent suggestions, and not all that difficult to carry out. I thought you might cut some of the wording in the Volunteer line. judiverse

Thank you Jud... I appreciate you stopping by to read and comment. I changed the line to "join a volunteer group, share your time." Thanks for the suggestion.

You're welcome. I like what you did to shorten that line. Best of luck in the contest. judiverse
Comment from MumEsGirl
Excellent work, and excellent advice. It is only when striving to change can we become true to ourselves.
A timely message to those who are wallowing in self pity instead of looking for easy solutions

Comment from sibhus
Congrats on completing this very difficult style of poetry. I have seen the contest posted several, but never had the guts to try it. I fear permenent brain damage. This was a wonderful piece not only did it meet the requirements, but has some really good advice that I'm sure we all could use. Iventive use of the x line. This makes for an excellent entry for the contest and good luck.

I like this very much. You have presented us with lots of very workable points. I like cook Italian and quit complaining. Two things I can incorporate today. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us.

Comment from BethShelby
All of these are very good tips. A lot of these are things that have worked for me. The very first one has always been a must for many years now. About the only Italian cooking I do is spaghetti but I do like it. I have gone on vacations without him but that is only because he doesn't like to travel.

Beth, by seperate vacations I mean constantly. My wife goes to Flrida to visit our sons because she has 7 weeks vacation. I'm happy for he to do that. Hey there is NOTHING wrong with spaghetti. Thanks for reading and commenting.

Binda, I may not be able to do each one each and every day but I sure as heck try. Overcoming mistakes is the key. Thank you for the 6'r, I never expected it.
