- Always be kind.
- Cherish moments..... even the bad ones.
- The habits you develop early on are actually really important in shaping your adulthood.
- You will not always agree with your friends, but true friends you will embrace because of your differences.
- Invest in meaningful relationships.
- Take time for yourself.
- Always strive for more knowledge.
- Find someone who will love you at your worst.
- Don't be afraid to fail.
- Do not stop making goals... even the small ones are worth achieving.
- Find a supportive mentor...... for me it was a wonderful woman who I swear is me 20ish years from now.
- Pray.
- Materialistic things will never replace a memory. ( I struggle with that.)
- Respect.... that is all encompassing. Respect yourself, your spouse, your children, your neighbor, the grocery lady, the homeless person.... respect.
- Draw in that Bible.
- Take time to talk to the elderly, they are not only wise but they are a hoot.
- Your kids will push you to unimaginable limits.
- Money is just a tool..... don't let it control your life. (also easier said than done)
- Be good to the body you have, because it is the only one you get.
- Trust that "the one" who broke your heart is not the only person you will love...... even if it feels like it at the time.
- Marriage is a lifelong commitment.
- Sleep is actually decently important.
- Just because you are related by blood does not mean you have to like them.
- Smile til your face hurts.
- You will get wrinkles....... it is just a fact of life.
- Take your vitamins!
- Everyone needs a dog (bonus if you adopt a shelter dog.... just sayin')
- Give generously, you came in to this world naked and you will go out the same.
Thank you for spending 28 years with me, Lord willing I will be able to be chatting it up for many more years to come.
