My cousin, Shauna, lost a dear friend to cancer today. It is usually times like this that we tend to evaluate our own lives. This isn't going to be a full blog post. I just have a few reminders for everyone.
- Live life to the fullest every single day. We all go through hard times but in the grand scheme of things, those moments are few and far between. Remember what I said about the “roller-coaster” in my blog a few days ago? Life is all about ups and downs.
- Love your family. Love your friends. We all get annoyed by those close to us at times but you know what? No-one is perfect. We all have idiosyncrasies and traits that drive those close to us crazy but, it's those little things that make us unique. Be patient. Be understanding.
- Don't let petty arguments and disagreements destroy a friendship or relationship. Talk things out, people. We must TALK to each other and practice forgiveness.
- Love YOURSELF...for who you are, as you are. Getting down about things like weight or a zit is a waste of precious time (note to self: practice what you preach Stacey). Don't beat yourself up over insignificant things.
- And last, be kind to each other. Not just those you are close to, but to strangers as well. You never know what personal battle people are fighting. Your smile or kind words could make someone's day.
You know I love you,
Stacey xo
PS. Don't worry...I'll be back to bitching about something tomorrow ;).
