For the Blog Every Day in May challenge, the brief for Day 2 is
"to educate us something you know a lot about or are good at...."
I am competent & capable at many things....
I am brilliant at absolutely none of them!
The more I thought about this topic, the more Oprah's
"What I Know For Sure....." kept coming back to me.
So here are one or three things that I know for sure....
1. tea always tastes better made at home & served in a china cup
2. sometimes it is better to be kind, nice or generous than to be right
3. on the day you are about to visit the hair salon, you will be having a good hair day
4. you can never have too many books
5. as long as you are happy with your decision, that is what matters
6. freshly made bread, freshly mown grass, freshly ground coffee = best aromas in the world
7. some of my closest friends are people that I have met once or not at all....it really doesn't matter how you meet
8. knowing who you are & who you want to be are two of life's greatest challenges....but once you know, you know
9. just because they are family, does not mean you have to put up with their bad behaviour
10. some days, the beach is the only place to be....we all need space sometimes
11. be a good friend....listen hard, remember stuff, make time, be present. You'll get it all back in return, with interest
12. be kind to yourself, be gentle sometimes, be tough other times....listen to your head & heart.
You can't run on empty for too long, things will just fall apart
13. no one is perfect. no marriage is perfect - the key is to admit when you make mistakes. Apologise and make amends
14. it doesn't matter how many times you've seen them, Nora Ephron movies are the best and will always make you feel better....
15. any episode of "Friends" is guaranteed to make me laugh out loud....
Ross in leather trousers/throwing the awesome partay/at the tanning shop/getting his teeth whitened/doing "the routine" with Monica will be funny forever.
16. watching your children perform in just about anything will make you cry....I haven't been dry- eyed at any school event yet.
17. one minute your child is toddling, the next they are 12....focus on the moments, time really does fly by.
18. if you get to travel then do so, it will enrich your life like nothing else
19. if you are not happy in it or doing it, stop doing it....life really is too short
20. sometimes it's really hard to talk about stuff, but when you do it's always worth it....don't bottle it up.
21. making your own bread is really easy & it tastes so good....try it!
22. listening to Stevie Wonder will always make you feel better, I challenge you to do it without singing or dancing along
23. whether or not you wear make-up every day, look after your skin, it will really be worth it....
and finally....
25. to quote the brilliant Nora Ephron
“Oh, how I regret not having worn a bikini for the entire year I was twenty-six. If anyone young is reading this, go, right this minute, put on a bikini, and don't take it off until you're thirty-four.”
