What my Dad has taught me (some of which to my downfall I have chosen not to pay enough attention to.)
Love is more powerful and more important than anything! The words I LOVE YOU are not something you take lightly. Use them carefully and when you do chose to use them, mean them with your whole being. Let every action toward that person prove that love over and over again!
Kindness may be mistaken for weakness, but just because there are foolish people out there who will take advantage of you, never stop being kind! Eventually someone genuine will come along who appreciates and loves your kind heart and would die trying to defend it! AND absolutely never dream of breaking it.
No one is perfect- we all make mistakes! Admit your mistakes, apologize, and work to make it right.. It's the work to make it right part that is most important on this one!
Actions speak volumes! For some people words are just that, words. But for "real" people a man is only as good as his word. If you say you are going to do something, do it! It's as simple as that! And if life gets in the way and plans fall through, apologize and work to make things right!
Put your Family first! Yeah they may get on your nerves at times, but never let them think you wouldn't be there if they needed you!
Time is a valuable gift! When you give yours to someone else, you show them that they are valuable to you! When others give their time to you, appreciate the value in their gift!
Everyday is not going to be a good day. So cherish every moment of happiness but appreciate the trials.. They serve a great purpose too. They remind you how amazing the good days are!
I am beautiful- how do I know? Because my dad never hesitated to tell me! I am strong- yes he reminded me of that too! I am worth someone's time and effort- more wise words from dad! AND last but not least... Someone is proud of me!! Yes he told me that just last week!
I want to be a parent to my kids like my dad was to me! And one day I hope to share my life with someone that shares those values too!
Enjoy today June 21, 2011! I know I am! :)
*Wish me Love*
Wow! I don't know what else to say!
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing! Can I share it with a friend?
ReplyDeleteI was reading through your blog and I noticed a few things. You have a gift! You are beautiful! You seem like a wonderful mom. Your personality (at least what shines through in your writing) is amazing. Someone will come along that appreciates you. Just keep your eyes and your heart open. I believe he's in your life right now, he's just got some baggage he's finishing unpacking and he's not quite ready to let you know. A year from now you will be planning a wedding.. Take the time between now and then to prepare yourself and know he's going to need a lot of patience and understanding. But when the time comes he will appreciate it and spend the rest of his life letting you know how much you mean to him.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I just saw this comment. Not sure how I missed it. Joseph, thanks for the kind words. I guess we will see what happens.. whatever happens, I know I will be fine!
