Life Lessons

...sometimes in life there will be times, moments, challenges, people, encounters, things that are meant to be lessons... any or all of these things will occur plus more I'm sure and I hope that you always learn from those "things" that happen. For every "thing" that you endure; there is a lesson to be learned. It's not easy sometimes to see what the lesson is/was but it's there and I hope you always find it. When you stop looking for the lessons; it's easy to become cynical about life. (Define cynical: Doubtful as to whether something will happen or is worthwhile.) Everything in life is worthwhile, even if the "everything" is bad or horrible; it was still worthwhile because you can walk away learning from it. Please always learn from and move on from what you learned with a renewed idea of what you should do to better yourself. Please do not repeat mistakes without learning from them, there are some lessons in life that we have to learn through making mistakes but there are others that you can learn from by just watching others mistakes.Those lessons that you can learn from watching others; are the easiest lessons to learn -- always remember that.

Mommy's hopes for you both in life:
--go to college.
--find a passion.
--have a well paying job that you can support yourself with.
--make a difference in the world.
--volunteer.
--find a person who will cherish you like your daddy does. (Just so you know: your daddy treats me like a queen every day and I wish for a man to do that for you one day.)
--get married, if that's where your heart takes you.
--have a baby, if that's what you want...long after you've been MARRIED first! Marriage BEFORE Baby!
--to always make choices that make YOU PROUD every day.

These hopes and dreams for you are just a quick milli-second of what I truly want for your lifetime but it's a glimpse at what I hope for your futures.
