Living. Learning.

Today as I celebrate a milestone birthday, I reflect on a few of the things I've learned that I think are important. (This is my original work.)

Never listen to or worry about what other people say about you. Just be you and live your life in the way you know you should. Always use good manners, be kind, smile, say hello. Be bold. Don’t rush or be in a hurry. Always be nice, especially and most importantly be nice to yourself. Work hard. Laugh out loud. Smile. Laugh lines are golden. You are valuable. Dance like a fool. Sing a silly song. Walk in the woods. Play. Pray. Eat the cake and buy the shoes. Save and invest. Laugh loudly. Realize it’s okay to make mistakes and learn from every one of them. Time will go by super fast. Forgive. Forgive yourself. Avoid people who don’t make you feel good about you. Go on hikes and picnics. Go fishin’. Splash in a creek. Build a tree stand. Disconnect. Go outside. Star gaze. The world is way bigger than just little ol’ you.

Keep on Shining,
