I have found quite a few draft posts when I logged into my blog... I won't publish them all now, as some have lost relevance and would seem out of place to post now. But I like these...grow in character :)

1. Consistently be your BEST self and stop trying to impress people.

2. Be genuine in your likes, dislikes, feelings, compliments, etc.

3. Stop looking for approval and instead approve of yourself

4. Stop gossiping. Just stop. It’s a waste of time and it degrades your character in other people’s eyes.

5. Don’t share everything, even if someone asks.

6. Stop defending your actions. Everyone has a different opinion on what is proper, you are entitled to your opinion. If you made a mistake, learn from it, move on and don’t make the same mistake twice.

7. Take responsibility for your decisions and stop blaming others. Period.

8. Eliminate bullying self-thoughts. Your thoughts, if repeated enough, will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The pictures I was posting before Christmas....

A busy December with school graduation (so proud of this kid!), concerts.

Maggie was SO excited about Christmas and loved decorating the tree. It made me remember to make this special for the little ones in the family. We hosted Christmas lunch and it was a good day, with new guests and family time making it just that bit more special :)
