How did that happen?
I'm still figuring out how it happened. But it did. And I thought a "what I've learned in my 30 years" post would be best....
1. Love yourself. If you don't no one else will. Or not the way you want to be loved.
2. Work hard. And then work harder.
3. True Love is real. I'm lucky to have it.
4. Dogs make the world better.
5. Find yourself. Go back to #1.
6. Tomorrow isn't promised. Neither is the rest of today.
7. Only allow people who care in your life.
8. Don't follow. Everyone appreciates a leader.
9. Chocolate is a cure all.
10. So is the radio full blasted with the windows down.
11. Don't be Afriad to ask for help. Life's overwhelming. Kids are overwhelming.
12. It's ok to be tired.
13. Your friends are just as important as family. Your core group of friends are family.
14. Time alone with your husband is precious.
15. Coffee cures most things.
16. School is important.
17. Do what you do.
18. Give thoughtful gifts. People appreciate it when you spend the same amount of time on them.
19. What do you do with CDs? I can't part with them.
20. Babies are the best part of you.
21. Learn to cook using what's in your house. Aka make food from scratch.
22. Plant a garden.
23. Sometimes life forces you into situations you have no control over. Handle it with grace.
24. You can't change people. And you shouldn't.
25. Surround yourself with people who make YOU happy.
26. Watch old movies with your girlfriends. It takes you back to carefree days of your youth.
27. Being a parent is a selfless act. It takes constant work and your always growing.
28. Use sunscreen. Your not getting any younger.
29. Never stop flirting or dating your partner.
30. Lastly, the past 30 years have taught me a tremendous amount about being a woman, wife, mother, friend and daughter. I'm still learning and I'm sure the best is yet to come.
