Mother knows best, at least thats what they say. The one thing that my mother used to always say to me that stuck through the years was: "be careful what you wish for"

In an infinite universe, where anything you can imagine is possible, does it not make sense to choose your life carefully, stop now and then and really focus on what you really want out of life(envision it) and make it yours?

"if it ain't fun don't do it" and "do the things in life that bring you joy!"

Hi Garnet,
My favorite saying is follow your dreams. Your momma had a point though! Definitely be careful what you wish for, lol Yes life is WAY TOO short to do things that please others but DO NOT make you happy!

My grandmother has to enter the conversation here. "Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something because of your background. We all have the same chances for failure or success, it's up to us."

This is different...but made me think of it.
When we would be riding in a car...my momma would say 'Hang on Lucy'...and I would tell her ...'My name isn't Lucy!'...lol

When i was being a bit naughty, mine would say, "I hope someday you have a daughter just like you!" (as punishment-LOL) BUT, When I was good or did something really nice, she would say, "You certainly are your momma's girl."

To think of it now, it cracks me up!

GREAT POST Garnet!

The one thing my Momma said that stayed with me down tthrough the years, was "Actions Speak Louder Than Words!"

I have never forgotten that, (probably because she was whipping my butt at the time) and it has served me well since I started to use it.

During one of the rougher periods of my life, when I distrusted everyone, and used it to evaluate new relationships, I discovered people will Tell you anything, but their actions will tell you the truth!

My mother or grandmother must have told me something?

I think I forgot! oh no, that would explain alot.... but for some reason i told my girls (when there was a squabble or?) I said to them, I said: "It's not what you're saying, it's how you're saying it"

as when they'd be expressing an opinion... but i seem to need to heed that advise myself now that I'm still not old enough to get away with saying some things....

is it true you can get away with saying some things when you're quite aged?
