...have lost friends - and opportunities to be a friend .... Thankfully I am a much more accepting, caring person than I once was.
Your settings won't let me email you. Another lost opportunity to be a friend!? Please email me.
Probably the most important thing I have learned - You must like yourself before you can expect anyone else to like you. | |

Posted: 8/26/2007 9:20:08 AM | I always tell my children I love them. And I always give them a hug and sometimes a kiss on the cheek too.  
Even if my children are adults they must still show me respect! 
I don't get involved in their marriage problems or family problems! An I don't take side with any of them. 
I do not let them drop off my grandchildren any time they want to because they want to go someplace. I am still young at 48 and I still have a my own life to live also.   
I don't allow my children to ask the question "why are you going out with that guy." 
I did not choose my childrens mates, therefore I will not allow them to have a say in who I choose whenever that day comes! | |

Posted: 8/26/2007 11:57:31 AM | | I have learned that I had to learn for myself. I needed to figure out what worked best for me. To advise others, I would have to assume that I know better than they do what is best for them. I do not know what is best for others, and I never will. All I can do is share where I am with my life, and leave others to live their own lives. | |

Posted: 8/27/2007 6:26:54 AM | If you wash cotton towels (that have tags that say Do Not Bleach) ~ but use bleach anyway....you can change the color scheme of your bathroom without buying new towels! ' '
Seriously though, my advice would be ~ don't sweat the small stuff! Pick your battles wisely, and choose to laugh rather then argue......cause nobody's perfect. | |

Posted: 8/28/2007 10:21:24 AM | The things I learned and pass on everyday:
live every minute of everyday like it's your last day on earth -- laugh often, love with your heart and soul, remember everyone, apologize - you never know if there is tomorrow.
write down where exactly "someplace safe is" whatever you hid there you're going to need.
you're a big part of my life and I love you. | |
