Things My Mother Taught Me

I don't think any of us ever appreciate our parents enough when we have the opportunity.
I certainly know that I haven't.
I haven't told her enough how much I love her. How much she has shaped who I am.

So here is a giant thank you for my mom for the lessons she has taught me...

Treat everyone well and equally

Judge each person as an individual- and remember you never really know the full situation, so it's best not to judge at all

Be generous- with everything. Including your love, your forgiveness, and certainly all "things"

It's never too late to start again

You need to be kind to yourself

You can survive things you never thought you had the strength for

The good memories are the ones to focus on

If you give it your all, you can make it happen

Don't let anyone change who you are

Don't let anyone tell you that you can't...

There is always someone who has it worse than you, and you should reach out to them and help

One word, one gesture can change a life

Everyone makes mistakes- that doesn't mean that they don't love you

I love you mom...
