Through the years....

Some of things I've learned so far and why I wouldn't want to be a year younger....

• I can keep the same hairstyle if I want for the rest of my life or I can change it daily.  
• When I go out to eat, I can have the exact same dish every time. If I feel like trying something new, I can but I don't have to change for change's sake. (Thanks Patti!)
• If I forget something, it just means that my head is full and I need to relax and empty it.
• I can love and learn from those who have very different ideas from my own. 
• Everyone, myself included, has value 
• People are beautiful from the inside out...
• everyone has an interesting story of why they are who they are, listen and learn
• no one is all good or all bad
• Cherish things that have heartbeats, everything else is dispensable
• When I decrease the quantity of stuff I own, I'm happier
• Fix what you can, let go of what you can't
• Sometimes bad things happen, it doesn't mean it's anyone's fault
• It's ok to be sad but if there's no glimmer of light, start searching for it
• Heavenly Father's dreams for me and you are bigger than our own dreams, follow Him, BELIEVE Him, TRUST Him!
