These 21 keys have a lot of wisdom in them. I know that I could have used some of this advise when I was younger. As a matter of fact I could have used some of it just the other day.
Looking at # 19 where it says we shouldn't rain on other peoples parades me me think about something I did over the weekend. DD was excitedly telling us about some of the names they liked for the new baby coming their way. She asked how we liked them and sadly, I said, I didn't like them at all. It was my first reaction, but I shouldn't have said that. She is just so excited that I put a little damper on things for her. It would have been so much nicer had I just kept my mouth shut or said something about what fun it must be picking out your baby's name. I could have bit my tongue off afterward, but it was too late for that. Oh, I did apologize, but still it's not the same.
Little do we realized the importance of what we do and say. When we hurt someones feelings especially someone we love,we also hurt ourselves. Like I said the points above all have a lot of good in them, but for me, I'll never forget #19. The older I get, the more I learn about life. I sure hope your Monday is off to a great start - Remember # 20 -- Never miss an opportunity to tell someone you love them.
Have a 'MERRY' Monday everyone! Make it better than you found it!
