The Best of Me

A friend reminded me last night about what is most important in life. Actually, this friend reminds me constantly that it’s about kids, health, and happiness. And, it’s a happiness that family and friends bring you, a happiness that you find in yourself, and if you’re lucky, it’s a happiness that sometimes is made even better by the love of one single significant person in your life, the person who always can see the best in you even when you're having a hard time seeing it yourself.

Tonight’s blog is the best of me. (Yes, there will still be a fishing trip blog, Weather Girl!) But, for tonight, I’ve compiled some of my favorite blogs and listed them here. Think of it this way, I’m in re-runs tonight!

1. Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind.
2. It is not the answer that enlightens, but the question.
3. You get what you give.
4. A daughter is a gift of love.
5. A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.
6. Clothes make a statement. Costumes tell a story.
7. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.
8. A house is made of walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams.
9. My number one goal is to love, support and be there for my son.
10. I have always preferred having wings to having things.

To my friend: Thank you for always reminding me about the best parts of me, for loving the best (and the worst) of me, and for always bringing out the best in me. ♥
