Monday was the 3rd Anniversary of our Fathers death and Ive been debating whether to post something about it or not... AND then I stumbled upon this quote from Buddah and decided to share my thoughts. First and foremost, I cant believe that 3 years has flown by so quickly - its quite shocking actually!! In the past 3 years, so much has happened...I wrote a book, I celebrated some personal achievements, some old friendships have sadly faded while some new ones have emerged...and then there are those friends (my chosen family) that will always be there, with their words being supported by loud, glorious actions. Some amazing people have gone home too soon, while new lives have been beautifully born. There have been ups, many downs and many lessons learned, some still being learned on a daily basis. Remember, its progress, NOT perfection. Repeat. Its progress NOT perfection. These past 3 years have flown by at warp speed and Im constantly reminded that LIFE IS JUST SO PRECIOUS! So delicate. So fleeting. When mistakes are made... apologize, and move on. Let it go! When your heart is filled with love, share it with a smile, a hug or even just say to someone you love, I love you! Talk less and listen more...REALLY listen! Let the past stay in the past and not control your future. Force yourself to LIVE in the moment. Put down your phone and stop texting. Better yet, leave your phone in the car and savor your moments. Sweet moments that become your precious memories. Ask questions. Ask many, many questions. Remember, relationships are a two-way street, so dont be the only one doing all the work. Choose to be with those that celebrate you...for you. Live. Listen. Learn. LOVE. Its easy. Choose easy and STOP making it all so hard. Dont fight, share ideas. Communicate. Learn to communicate your feelings. Choose to be happy. Yes, we have that choice and today, I choose to be happy. Be grateful and always be thankful for what you have. We truly have so much. I truly love my family. My Dad died 3 years ago. I miss him very much. We created an amazing friendship. I did the same with my Mom, too. It was a lot of work but in the end, it ended perfectly. Call your parents. Talk to them. Ask questions. They did/do the best they can. Let go of the past. Respect them. Respect yourself. Respect others. Remember that you ARE amazing and most of all, you MATTER! :) I miss you Dad. Kiss Mom for me. Give Patty a kiss, too. I love you!
