I learned so much from you growing up, things you said but most things you didn’t say; your silence in an otherwise chaotic childhood would be the voice of reason for a lifetime.
I learned that your time was the best gift you can give another person.
I learned that self-improvement was a lifelong journey and those close to you will reap the rewards.
I learned that greatness is often hidden in small, quiet unassuming people.
I learned that an open mind is the one necessary tool to learn and grow.
I learned there is a time when finding your voice is essential for the self–and using it is essential to the safety and security of those you love.
I learned that zebras don’t always have stripes, sometimes they have polka dots– through an artist’s eye the possibilities are endless.
I learned to laugh at almost everything, there is humor in most situations and it can save your sanity–look for it!
I learned that it’s none of my business what others think of me—this will be a time saver.
I learned that life isn’t fair—sometimes on the way to Disney World the car dies and you end up at the local fair instead.
I learned that the key to a goal is to first have one.
I learned that there are just some things that money can’t buy—integrity is one of them.
I learned that perfection is overrated—and too much work, life will still go on if the dishes are dirty.
I learned that should trust no one fully—people are people and therefore will disappoint you—trust yourself first.
I learned that above all else about unconditional love—I learned that it is not taught, it is shown.
So just in case you wondered if I was paying attention, the answer is—always!
Love,
MGM
