10 things I want my daughters to know as they grow 1. No matter what I will always love you Even when it might seem like I'm frustrated, sad, or just having a rough time.  I will always love you. 2. You're perfect just the way you are Always remember this. You are perfect just the way you are! 3.  Friends come and go I often tell myself that people are like seasons passing by.  You will realize that not all friends will stay.  As I grew up I realized that it wasn't about the number of friends, but the quality of friends.

“Sometimes our stop-doing list needs to be bigger than our to-do list.”  ―  Patti Digh It has been a bit hectic around here. I think we're in need of rest. Our days seem long and hectic. Maybe soon... things will start slowing down. This week: -We continued our lessons. Reading lessons are slowing down. - Right now our oldest daughter is sick. Just a common cold. But she is definitely in need of rest. -Warm baths, vapor rub, and warm drinks. - This seems to be helping out some.

Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, and no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross I'm learning that no matter what always give your all. I'm learning that all things happen for a reason. I'm learning that some people will never understand the meaning of a sincere apology. I'm letting go and forgiving them regardless. I'm learning to appreciate each day. There's beauty in this life. I'm learning that breaks are good and sometimes it's best to take a step back. I'm learning to embrace the simple things in life.
