Some might say that when you have lived as long as I have, you should know a little something. You know, the kind of things that only come with life's experiences? Well, let me tell you exactly what I DON'T KNOW!
WIZ- I don't know why boys think it is cool to say, "I've gotta take a WIZ"! Ewww!
DUM- I don't know why my children think I am sooooo DUM! Uhg!
&- I don't know why this wierd looking symbol represents the undaunting task of asking our children to do something...& pick up your shoes, & do your homework, & finish your dinner, & take a bath, &...!
NO- I don't know why it is so hard to accept the answer "NO". Even us adults have a difficult time listening when the answer is "NO"!
LEDGE- I don't know who (haha, you thought I was going to say why) thought it was a great idea to climb this mountain we call "life", but the view from the LEDGE I am on is amazing!
Life has been difficult, scary, lonely, extremely challenging at times, exciting, passionate, fun, and extremely fulfilling at times. Climbing the mountain of life is sure to have ledges. The greatest joys of my life have come, not from holding on tight to my ledge and starring stright up at the top that seems I will never reach, but in having faith that the view is breathtaking, if I will only take the time to look.
What I do know?
I know that time is precious!
I know that life should be cherished!
I know that love should be shared!
I know that faith must be exercised!
I know that patience is a gift we give, not have!
I know that forgiveness is pivotal in any progression!
I know that happiness is a choice!
My birthday wish this year?"...What is most important almost always involves the people around us. Often we assume that they must know how much we love them. But we should never assume; we should let them know...send that note to the friend you've been neglecting; give your child a hug...let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows". Pres. Thomas S. Monson
