Note to Self
Lizzy dear,
As you grow remember to look around you, observe, note how people are treated. Learn from both good & bad examples of a human's treatment of other humans. Listen to what is said. Do not blindly agree with the voices and actions of others; make up your own mind and act wisely and accordingly.
Be not afraid. Determine the right path and follow it. Be intolerant, learn to compromise, generally speaking, there is no one right way. As long as there are humans who think about life there will be differences; remain true to your ideals even when you compromise with another. Life is not just black and white; there are many shades of gray within it.
Be wise in affairs of the heart. Talk, be honest, be compatible, have the same values. Make a commitment and try to weather storms together. When mistakes are made, learn from those mistakes. Forgive yourself, do not dwell on your errors, but go forward and live more successfully.
Be true to yourself. Honor yourself. Live a healthy, well-balance life.Live! You only get one chance at life; live it to the fullest.
My best to you...

Beautiful, Cheryl!
I think I've told you this before, but that blog header is the most beautiful one I've ever seen. Makes my heart flutter every time I see it.
Thank you for that Lizzy ~ I need to reflect on those things more often, I suppose we all do, I struggle to deal with a sense of running out of time though, but, there's always room and time for improvement.
Such wise words, and so true. I`ll copy them for my pupils. Hi Cheryl!
