Little Reminders Everywhere!

There are things that I have either discovered or been reminded of recently that I just would like to communicate to you, as my friend, the amazing man or woman that you are:

  1. I believe Facebook (and now Twitter) are some of the best tools ever put in place… it has allowed me to connect back with so many friends from my youth (I refuse to say ‘old friends.’), stay in touch with recent friends and build not only a network, but when needed, a support system. (Thank you for the encouragement on the running!)
  2. Even though I am making less money than I have in years and I am back taking classes, I feel the best I have in such a long time.
  3. People need to do whatever they truly WANT to do… don’t worry about making others mad, or what others will think or if people will be disappointed – in the end, you are the one that will always have to live with the decision!
  4. There is no such thing as being too old to do something! (Did I mention I was back in school???)
  5. The past needs to be the past; while we can learn the lessons needed – dwelling on it will only make one miserable. Forgive and move on, as you are the only one that will be hurting from your stubbornness! I mean really 'Get Over It!!!' :-)
  6. You can never have too many people in your life! Just make sure that they are the right people and lift you up, but at the same time choose to see the good in people and this happens automatically!
  7. Working out, eating well, and drinking lots of water can be fun and it does give you more energy (I guess those doctors did know what they were talking about)
  8. Life is too short for pettiness and anything said needs to be looked at from a big picture view.
  9. I hope ALL of my friends know that you are loved.
  10. Nothing takes the place of true happiness, and I believe that how we look at things allows us to be happy.
  11. The glass should always be half full (compared to half empty), if it isn’t – fix it and fill it back up!
  12. I want to Celebrate EVERYTHING! I don't want to take anything for granted!
  13. I want you to know that even if I don’t speak to you every day, month, or even year that you are still in my heart. (Join Facebook or Twitter and I will probably chat with you more! LOL)
  14. The biggest reminder I have gotten recently: Living is simply more than just breathing…
