Snippets

I walked a lonely road

A road I didn't know

I didn't want to be left behind.

Thank God for you.

Wonder Woman isn't perfect

And neither am I.

We run from perfection.

It's overrated, anyhow.

There is a fine line between the risks we take to live life

And the risks we take to defy it.

Yeah risks.

A Mother's Lessons

Stand up straight; there are too many people in this world with a Notre Dame complex.

Eat your vegetables, unless you can get away with hiding them under your napkin.

Listen to your elders, unless they are in any way ignorant or stupid; then, just pretend to listen.

Clean your room, and while you're at it, clean mine as well.

Do what your father says; he does not understand the concept of being wrong anymore than he understands the concept of control top pantyhose.

Don't be afraid to stand up to bullies; do, however, be prepared to run.

You are never too old to be bossed around or told to "Be Careful," and even if one day you do become too old, I won't notice.

Reach for the stars; if you don't succeed, I will pay NASA to take you there if that is what you truly want.

Listen to everything I say; next to the spirit in the sky, there is no higher authority.

******************************

That is how I was raised, everyone. My mom is amazing. So are other people in my life. I am truly blessed.
