It has taken me forever to put into words this blog post. I hope it somewhat makes sense.
First off. Isn't she the cutest thing in the world? I think so. I can remember being lectured all the time from her. Two sayings she would say to us countless times were, "many hands make light work" and "pretty is as pretty does."
This lady has taught me more than words can explain. She has more faith than anyone I know and has taught me to always have it. She is so positive and always looks on the bright side of any situation. I am forever grateful for her spirit she caries with her every day.
So, in my life I can think back on tons of lectures. Some I remember some I choose not to.. Like on my grades or my love life etc. But there are some that have stuck with me through it all and I would like to share what I have taken from those.
The first one is from my home girl Nana.
First off. Isn't she the cutest thing in the world? I think so. I can remember being lectured all the time from her. Two sayings she would say to us countless times were, "many hands make light work" and "pretty is as pretty does." It's so true how work goes by so much faster when you have a little help. Boy I wish I would have been better at that growing up. "Pretty is as pretty does" now that one is one of the truest statements I have ever heard. You can see an incredibly pretty or handsome person but if they act ugly it's almost like they loose their attractiveness.
The next one is from my dad.
If anyone knows my dad. They know how incredible he is and that he is who he is. My dad is my hero. He has no fear to try new things and no fear to fail or succeed. Something that my dad has taught me that has gotten me to where I am today, is to be myself and to be proud of who I am. Sometimes that's all that's kept me going. But because of that I have always had a strong will and knowledge of where I came from. I owe my father that one.
My momma is next.
My mom is also the cutest. She got it from her momma. My mom taught me to always pray. To never give up and that there always is something good coming our way. Sometimes it got annoying how optimistic she was but looking back I always needed that.
Then my sister.
Last. My bestie. James.
He has taught me how to love and trust.It sure wasn't an easy task I am sure, but he took in on without hesitation. I am forever grateful for his patience.
There is so much hope and teachings around us. Even in the bad. I have learned so much from my trials as well as my triumphs. Please, find teachings. They have been a saving grace to me over the years.
