I found this poem on another board. It was written by Doris Longacre....
--Life is too short to ice cakes. Cakes are good without icing.
--Life is too short to real all the church periodicals.
--LIie is too short not to write regularly to your parents.
--Life is to short to eat factory baked bread.
--Life is too short to keep all your floors shiny.
--Life is too short to let a day pass without hugging your spouse and each of your childrren.
--Life is too short to nurse grudges and hurt feelings.
--It's too shourt to worry about getting ready for Christmas. Just let Christmas come.
--Life is too shourt to spend much money on neckties and earrings.
--Its to shourt for nosey questions like, "How do you like your new pastor?" or if there's been a death, "How is he taking it?"
--It's too short to be gone from home more than a few nights a week.
--It's too short not to take a nap when you need one.
--It's too short to give importance to whether purses match shoes or towels match bathrooms.
--It's too short to stay indoors when the trees when the trees turn color in fall, when it snows or when the spring blossoms come out.
--Life is to short to miss the call to worship on Sunday morning.
--It's too short for bedspreds that are too fancy to sleep under.
--Life is too short to work in a room without windows.
--Life is to short to put off Bible study.
--It's too short to put off improving our relatinships with the people that we live with.

You are right, CJ. In my *Living More with Less* book, it says that she died nov. 10, 1979, after a 39 month battle to cancer. She was 39 yrs. old. Her book had to be completed by others.
