- Don't throw a birthday party for yourself at your own house. It's hard to enjoy the reason everyone came.
- Exercising really does give you more energy.
- Pop really does end up around your middle.
- If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
- Unless it's softball, and you're 8 years old. Don't keep trying. Stick with the piano lessons.
- Give people a break. Whether it's the guy that just pulled out in front of you, or the "Pharisee" on the front row, or the "sinner" on the back row.
- If you're going to sing or speak in front of people, don't apologize for something and say, "bear with me, everyone..."
- When someone begins a comment with the words, "bless their heart", they're really just saying something that isn't nice in a way that makes them feel better. (example, "bless their heart, they just can't sing" or "bless their heart, their nose is soooo big")
- There's something wonderful about the smell and taste of coffee in the morning.
- Some people don't have room in their life for another friend. It's their loss not yours.
- I will always have enough room for another friend (or an old one to come back around).
- Although it's frustrating, love does find you and it doesn't need your help (unless you need a bath and that's just a whole different subject...).
- Some days, Camden will be wonderfully obedient and take a nap for me and everything. Other days, he will defy me at every turn.
- Camden chooses which day it will be.
- Naps are a mother's best friend...
- Nothing quite compares to hearing the word, "momma" directed at you.
- Nothing quite compares to hearing the words, "I love you" from the one you love.
- People change for the good too.
- I cannot play any sport that involves a ball or other circular-like object.
- If you're going to sing the National Anthem, just sing it. Don't add a bunch of stuff to it. Unless, of course, you're Whitney Houston.
- I'm pretty sure you're not Whitney Houston.
- Singing is good for you, body and soul, even if you're not good at it.
- You can't sing if you don't have a certain amount of joy in your heart.
Okay, that's all for now. What's on your list?

Like your list. Agree with the singing part. it trully does come from within, it has to come for the heart!!!!
oooh. good list. i might steal this idea for a future blog.
My favorite post yet! When can we get together? miss you
I, like Sarah, will be stealing this for my own blog. Love it.
good list. did you just turn 30...is this what prompted your list? :)
a few of mine:
1) stop comparison of yourself to others--you are who you are and you are beautiful. your marriage, friendships, and financial situation will never be the same as someone else's, and that's ok.
2) don't carry TOO high of expectations for yourself. you'll fail every time and you'll never be happy.
3) don't carry TOO high expectation of your friends. THEY will fail you every time and you'll never be happy with them.
I would say that you have learned a lot in 30 years. But actually, you CAN play ball, just not as "well" as others. Bethany & I enjoyed reading these.
Love ya,
Amy, this is too funny!! :D Happy LATE birthday!
