For what its worth - I had to dig this picture out for today's post, since I'm sure I make a face like this when I attempt to give advice. Adam also usually responds to my advice with a similar face to the one he is making in this picture. One guess what I did today? Yup, you're right. Packing. I also went to church, but then after a nap & it was back to planning and packing. As I write this we have quite the thunderstorm going on here. I really LOVE the sound of storms. Actually, it seems like there has been a storm almost every night of this weekend now that I think about it. Interesting. Well anyways - here's a short list of some things I've learned. What would you add? :)
I've learned that you should...
- Call your mom everyday, it's good for both of you
- Fold & put away your laundry the second it's dry, otherwise it will sit in a pile somewhere in your house for at least a week
- Make time to listen to people & have genuine conversations
- Be honest. Lying never gets you as far as you think it will.
- Read books. I don't even care what kind, just read what you like to read
- Always go the extra mile, whatever that looks like.
- Not showering won't kill you
- Find something you like learning more about & seek it out
- Hug everyone you are close to as often as possible.
- Tell people how you feel about them, especially what you love & value about them
- Ask the hard questions of others & more importantly yourself
- Don't stop connecting with friends, no matter how far away they do or don't live.
- Relationships matter! Work to make them count.
- Be outside whenever possible
