Life Lessons from Bob Wiley

If you've met me and you've seen the movie "What about Bob?", you already know that Bob Wiley and I really are the same person. I was slightly shocked when my aunt pointed this out...until I watched the movie and realized she was right. In this my first post of the new year, I'd like to share some of the things I've learned from good ol' Bob.



~ Near death experiences can be very enlightening.



~ Don't underestimate the value of a best friend - even if he's a goldfish named Gil.



~ If you take 1 baby step at a time, you can go anywhere.



~ Friends are better than therapists. They listen to you because they love you, not because they get paid.



~ You should defiitely fake Tourette's syndrome occasionally, just to make sure you don't have it.



~ Never buy someone else's dream house. You have no idea how dangerous the bitterly disappointed can be.



~ Always know where the bathrooms are. You don't want your bladder to explode because you can't find one.



~ The world is scary. Give yourself credit for being brave enough to go out every day.



~ When all else fails, repeat this mantra as you walk down the street: "I feel
good. I feel great. I feel wonderful." It really does work.
