I'm still learning and
also appreciating
that
~~~~~
the laundry will always get done
the laundry will always get done
my kids will never be any younger than they are today
getting nothing done can actually be a form of exercise
a great friend gives more than she takes
husbands need to be reminded how important they are
very few people will actually notice if I have make-up on or not
{even though I feel like I need to wear some everyday}
giving every now and then to the needy is not often enough
ignoring my family for a great TV show is bad
more people read my blog
than the number of comments that are left
cheese and crackers can be a meal
I will never look good in reading glasses
not finding clothes to fit will not be the end of the world
tennis shoes will never look sexy but will always feel good
that my heart will always be the strongest muscle in my body
that my years as a CASA were life changing
being friends with your kids comes after parenting them
~~~~~I'm not too old to take a hip-hop body jam dance class
with my daughter
vintage and old are two very different things
finding your soul mate only happens once in a lifetime
fresh air can act as a sleeping aid
my grandma ruby lived her life as a guardian angel in disguise
I used to be a good runner
my dreams are getting more vivid
~~~~~my childhood memories are too few
I'll never be able to tan like I used to
I think I could have been a great nurse
I could eat pizza every day
polka dots always look cool
geography just isn't something I'll ever be good at
you can never take too many pictures of your kids
words can really hurt
~~~~~
you can't have too many books
pap smears are necessary
but that will never make me enjoy them
a day without laughing is bad
~~~~~
we are who we are
and we have to guard that with everything we have
Loving this. So real.

I really enjoyed reading your blog today!
ReplyDeleteI adore this list.
ReplyDeleteletting myself know what I know, embrace what I know, is so liberating.
your depth is matched only by your lightness of heart. A perfect blend. :)
I've read this a total of 27 times, didn't want to comment at first because every time I read it, I was learning something. Kinda still feels that way. This is really good stuff, Beth, said in that straight-up voice your writing conveys.
ReplyDeleteI love your stream of consciousness posts--they speak to us all.
ReplyDeleteHow do you do it ?
ReplyDeleteHave so many revelations at once this way ?
I mean it takes me a year to figure out one !
I loved reading thru these. I smiled, I laughed, I nodded alot.
So glad you shared.
