_In honor of my first 45 years on this planet, I though it would be appropriate to share some of the things I have learned. So, here goes - in no particular order!
• Laughter really is the best medicine • AFV is the greatest TV show in the world! (I can literally watch it for hours) • Monday morning is not the right time to ask 'so what do you want to do when you graduate?' • The world disappears when you look into the eyes of your brand new baby • Be prepared when you pray for patience - God will give you opportunity to practice it! • God hears our prayers • Be thankful for EVERYTHING • God really does loves me • Grown up daughters become best friends • Age is just a number • I am fearfully and wonderfully made • Hearing a baby laugh = instant good mood • God's timing is always perfect • Learning from my mistakes = growing up • People may disappoint us but God won't • Time spent with good friends is time well spent • People don't care if your shirt came from Goodwill or the Gap • When I give back to God he blesses me - ALWAYS • Count your blessings instead of what you don't have • People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care • It's not wrong, it's just different • Family is ALWAYS more important than work • Real men love Jesus • Nobody will notice when you wear the same jeans 3 days in a row. • Fish sticks and french fries are ok for dinner… 3 days in a row (it was a rough week!) • Never leave home without earrings • Ice cream is ok for dinner • The digital camera is the greatest invention EVER • Sometimes people just need you to listen • Good manners count - please and thank you IS important • A mother's love is unconditional • My brothers aren't so bad now that we're grown up • Sending a card 'just because' can make someone's day • Keep an umbrella in the car at all times 'just in case' (I don't 'do' wet hair!) • People are watching you - be an example • An overdrawn checking account does not equal the end of the world (even up to 6 returned checks!) • It's ok to say no • It's ok to negotiate with a salesperson - the worst they can do is say no! • When cutting your son's hair with clippers, don't start straight down the middle! • People need kindness - say hello, smile, ask someone how they're doing • Hugs are free • Babies are more resilient than they look - goes hand-in-hand with... • Eating needles from a real Christmas tree will not hurt the baby (they pass right on thru!) • I am right where I'm supposed to be • Don't multi-task when making dinner (don't ask! hehe) • Our children need to make their own mistakes • A movie marathon on a beautiful Saturday is ok! • Love is a choice • When God shuts a door, he opens a window • Counseling works • God's word is real • Broken hearts heal • It's ok to ask for help • All we have is today I'm looking forward to what I'll learn in the next 45 years!
