Some Undeniable Truths...According to Me

 

 

I am as good as I am going to get…so don’t ask me to go to therapy, take a pill that changes my personality or advise me to enroll in a self-help seminar. This is me and I am okay with me. If you aren’t, feel free to find someone better.

When it comes to doing laundry, that pesky sock(s) will inherently get lost. Just deal with it and move on. Buy more socks.

Some people are going to hurt you, let you down, deceive you or just be a complete a*@hole to you. It’s who they are and it has nothing to do with YOU! It’s a part of life and happens to everyone.

Always stock up on toilet paper. It’s one commodity that should never be left off the grocery list because if you do run out, and you will….You can almost pinpoint what your exact location will be when it happens!

A house doesn’t become a home until a family lives in it. Until there is laughter, muddy paw prints, clutter and noise, it is merely a building with 4 walls. If you are fortunate enough to have a home, do your best to honor it, protect it and cherish it.

Loving someone is the easy part. Share your life with someone you actually like, someone you would be friends with. Life is too short to share it with someone you hate.

Gravy is good on almost anything.

No matter how bad things seem, no matter how unhappy you think you are, there is always someone looking at your life, wishing it was theirs.

Women, in general are really not the complicated creatures we are made out to be. We want love, respect, a bit of humor, a kind word now and then and possibly some pretty shoes. That really isn’t too much to ask for, is it?

I am totally serious about the gravy thing.

If you have something to say, say it. But say it as kindly as you can. No one died and made you the boss of everyone. So, think before you speak. It’s not rocket science.

If you are asked a question and you don’t know the answer, ask someone, Google it or simply say you don’t know. There is nothing worse than someone who acts like they know everything, especially if another person in the room actually does know the answer. It’s uncomfortable for the person that has to correct you and it makes you look….well, stupid.

Do something every day that inspires you or makes you come alive. Write, paint, play; anything that keeps you seeing the beauty in this world.

If you are not a parent, please don’t tell me how to parent. You may think that you can teach me a few things, but trust me, you can’t. If you haven’t been there…you have no comprehension of the sacrifices, determination or love in which I do this job. So before you preach, chastise, correct or offer me your opinion, STOP! Some things are better left unsaid, and this is surely one of them.

If you have a point, get to it. Swiftly. Don’t let words or silence linger in the air in hopes the message is received. Be upfront and honest. Get to the root of the problem or the issue. No tap dancing or sugar coating here, please.

And finally, eat ice cream whenever possible. It is yummy and I do believe it is good for the soul.
