Rule Number One...

[drwex]

It's been a while since I did one of these and putting a comment in someone else's LJ reminded me that I'm interested in the rules people are using to govern their lives at this point.

I have a hard time choosing between three so I'll give you all three and you can put as many or as few as you like:

Rule Number One is _______________________________________

a. Never wake a sleeping baby.
b. No surprises.
c. Be careful what you wish for; you might get it.

My husband claims that his Rule #1 is "Don't annoy the Cory," but his behavior gives the lie to this rule.

I think my own #1 rule varies depending on the situation. What I need to keep in mind for social situations is different than what I need to keep in mind when I'm alone, and rules for leisure differ from those for work.

I guess my rules for many situations could be summed up as:

1. Try to do the right thing.
2. Don't try so hard that you make yourself crazy.

It took a buncha years to make it clear that #2 was necessary (something that people from more relaxed backgrounds know automatically).
