I recently celebrated my birthday. Another year lived. Another year of lessons learned. I’d like to take a moment to share a few:
ON LIFE
- The easiest way to break a bad habit is to replace it with a new, good one
- Those that don’t believe in karma are usually hit the hardest by it
- You’d be amazed by how many people’s days you could brighten if you would just smile … even your own crappy ones
ON LOVE & RELATIONSHIPS
- With true love, the affection and attraction increases – instead of diminishing - over time. I fall more in love my fat-head husband each day
- There is no such thing as hiding anything from a significant other. Eventually it WILL be brought to light
- A lot of people out there are really struggling to find and hold onto love
ON FAMILY
- People often treat strangers better than than they do their own family
- Children are living reflections of their parents. Watch what you do in the mirror …
- Children really do help keep you young. Our kids have us running, hopping, jumping, bike riding, dancing, singing, skating, skipping, swimming, spinning, sliding, learning (I just learned that sooo many fun things to do start with the letter ‘s’!), teaching, visiting amusement parks … and constantly smiling and laughing
ON WRITING
- I love writing even when it earns me $0
- There’s no such thing as not having enough time to write. Write a page, write a paragraph, write a sentence. As long as you write something everyday, you are making progress.
ON MYSELF
- I used to think that being an independent woman meant that I shouldn’t depend on anyone but myself. Now I believe that being an independent woman means that I can make it on my own if I have to … as a lady in love, I don’t have the need nor the want to
- Every year I look back on the previous one and say “Boy was that DUMB of me!” about at least 1 thing
- I really hate hate
