I really only every write in my blog, when I am reflecting on the death of my mom and thinking about the many memories we have together. I always have to laugh when my Dad talks about the "fights" my mom and I would have together. As a crazy teenager, I would scream about boys, school, whatever I was mad about to my mom, be so mad at her for not agreeing with me, and then after 10 minutes of yelling, we would say - ok let's go to the mall! We always let things go, and never held onto grudges. I honestly think that is why we were best friends as well as mother and daughter. :) I think about all of the lessons my mother taught me, and how they all turned out to be so very true...
1. Do not trust anyone that gossips to you, for they probably will gossip about you. Man - if I had learned THIS lesson early in life, I would have been set :)
2. Don't hold your feeling inside - always let them out, don't let them build up!
3. You know who your closest friends are...keep them CLOSE to your heart, don't spend time on people who do not cherish you.
4. Quality over quantity with relationships
5. Once someone shows you their true colors, believe them
6. Every Target has a different selection - THIS IS SO TRUE :)..
7. Think before you type, or speak.
8. Grow a thick skin and do not let people get to you.
9. Always over dress, never be under dressed.
10. Right before my mom passed away, she said three things to me: take care of your father, know that I am so proud of you and love you, and know that all guys aren't assholes and that true love is out there...(this was right before Eric and I started dating) :) ...she was obviously right.
I miss that woman!
