Birthday - yays
Today is my birthday and I Turn 32 years old, so I thought I would share a whopping 32 things I have learnt in my lifetime so far.
I'll steer clear of the obvious things such as the alphabet and how to make toast as I have pretty much perfected those (Ha) and instead focus on any life lessons or wisdom that have come my way so far. I have no idea where the last ten years have gone and when I look at the things I have achieved in that time, I think I can be really proud of myself. I have changed a great deal and my hopes and dreams are completely transformed from the things that have happened along the way. I wouldn't change a day of it.
32 Things I've learnt in 32 years
- It's important to look after yourself.
- There is no point obsessing over the way we look.
- Time goes a little fast each year as you get older.
- Time goes even faster when you have kids.
- Quality of friends is far more important than quantity.
- Some things do taste as good as skinny feels - sorry.
- I tend to get on better with people that like animals.
- If you have a talent you should use it.
- It's not worth falling out with family.
- Sometimes strangers are the kindest.
- Health is massively important.
- If someone wants a break from you, they are not the one.
- It really is all about the little things.
- It's not all about the hokey cokey.
- Doing a job you enjoy is life changing.
- Money does make you happy - having none makes you miserable.
- Sometimes things happen that don't make any sense.
- Karma is a thing.
- Being positive makes a huge difference.
- You really are what you eat.
- Sunshine makes everything better.
- Thing's definitely happen for a reason.
- If you get the chance to travel, you should take it.
- You should always say goodbye, kiss goodnight and say I love you.
- There is no such thing as perfect.
- We learn more from our children than we teach them.
- You need to love yourself before you love anyone else.
- You should be kind to everyone, even if they don't deserve it.
- If everyone smiled, the world would be a much better place.
- There is always someone worse off than you.
- If you aren't happy, you need to make changes.
- Only YOU can make your life as you want it.
That's my lot for this year. I'm off to hopefully have some cake and a much needed day of fun, sun (not guaranteed!) and family time with my favourite three.
