On occasion I make a list of random thoughts, ideas, and things about myself as well as the world at large. It's written in good fun so please treat it as such-
1. Despite my son turning eleven this upcoming Sunday, I am still occasionally surprised I am a parent...
2. Because I often still feel like a kid myself.
3. According to my mother, I cried for hours (if not days) prior to my first dental appointment as a child...
4. Sadly, this has not changed (even at thirty-three years of age).
5. I was thirteen the first time I fell in love.
6. I believe the first time a person falls in love they fall the hardest (as they have no frame of reference or past experiences to draw from and are therefore at their most vulnerable).
7. My first love and I remain friends to this day.
8. At present I am the happiest I have ever been.
9. Until now, I did not believe this depth of happiness existed.
10. A true connection with another person is rare, precious, and should be cherished as such...
11. I feel truly blessed to have discovered mine.
12. Our most painful experiences will later become our greatest assets. Thus, that which does not kill you not only makes you stronger but also wiser.
13. I accept the aging process and would not return to my younger years if given the option-I choose wisdom over youth every time.
14. Soul mates exist...
15. You will undeniably know when you have found yours.
16. Express yourself-you never know when your actions or words might inspire others.
17. Love deeply and passionately as it's the only real way to love.
18. Live in today. If you live only in yesterday or only for tomorrow, you will never truly live at all.
19. Let go of resentments and make amends-in doing so you not only heal others but yourself as well.
20. The greatest gift you can give yourself is love, acceptance, and forgiveness. Once you have done so, you will be able to freely pass on these gifts to others.
21. Learn to live fully in the present as each of us is only promised with today.
