What have I learned this last week?

Well, this last week has been a mix of emotions.....happy, sad, joyful, tearful, etc. Here are a few life lessons that really stood out to me......

-Life is too short to hold grudges
-Life is not long enough to hold those you love
-Don't sweat the small stuff
-Show your children you love them....telling them is not enough
-Show your spouse you love them.....telling them is not enough
-Take time to stop and smell the roses
-Laundry will always be waiting but your children will not be
-Don't save your good dishes for a special occasion, make every day a special occasion
-There is no such thing as spending too much time with your family
-Hug your grandparents/parents every time you see them
-Take time to get together with family and friends
-Date nights with your spouse are a MUST......it reminds you how much you still love each other without the craziness of day to day life
-Make every day count as though it is your last
-Lastly.....even if you and your spouse/children are in a big fight.....still hug and kiss them before bed, you never know what tomorrow brings

I was thinking the same thing as Beth, we should be reminded of this every single day.

Some days we get so caught up in junk and forget what life is really about.
