Guidelines…you can’t beat the basics…the ABCs. We first start with
the building blocks of life as blocks. Simple, colorful, playful, and probably
used as the first introduction to our name. Cute!
Next, we are introduced to flash cards. We kick-it-up-a-notch with
visual associations of our favorite things in life…apples, balloons, cat, dog,
etc. Our life gets more colorful, playful and interactive.
In school we were introduced to our “Palmer Method” means of
writing. Life got more serious. We had to memorize the alphabet and
methodically apply a style of cursive writing to our thought patterns first,
then learn to apply it to paper. With that accomplished, we had to then
formulate our completed thoughts to complete sentences…in cursive! Quite a feat
for youngsters in the second grade! Life got SO serious, SO quickly
for us!

As life’s complexities grow, we can also turn to a more adult
version of ABCs. This is a gentle reminder for us when we wish to regroup and re-simplify
our lives. The ABCs of Life:

Guidelines
are just that…guidelines. The
ABCs are real and permanent, yet flexible! Rearrange
them as they suit your life and situation. Create new guidelines for yourself. Go for it…
And have fun doing
it!
