"My Life Lesson"





My life lessons is to always stay true to who you are. Be honest with yourself, know that everything is not a bed of roses or the grass is not always greener on the other side. If there is something you don't like about yourself, work towards changing it. "Believing"


 There will be ups and there will be downs. There will be good days and there will be bad days. You just have to remember to get up, get dressed and get out and enjoy the day. Weather feeling happy or blue, sunshine or rain, just bring an umbrella or flip flops either way. "Honesty"






I have joys of being a single mother of three boys and I've suffered the pain of being that mother of three boys. Mostly their nice and sweet but I have also seen them upset and mean. "Forgiveness"

Let your children know they are always welcome when they need you even after they have grown and moved on. You are the only parent they have. I'm 58 and sometimes still need the help and advice from my dad. "Love"

 Don't be afraid to work hard for something, even if it doesn't bring you exactly what you expected, be happy you can get the chance work, so many other's don't. "Loyalty"    

Say something nice to someone each and everyday. You will find that it not only makes them feel good, but it will make you feel good too. "Kindness"

Don't take yourself to serious.There's an old saying no one else does If it wasn't for the last minute, I would get nothing done and my procrastination is my way of simply re-organizing my priorities. "Humor" 

It's OK to cry. It's OK to scream at the top of your lungs, but do it on a mountain top so you don't scare anyone. I've done this myself when I felt I was falling apart, not knowing which way to go. "Confusion"

Don't forget to laugh, even if it is at yourself, I've laughed so hard at times I've had to hide the fact I tinkled my pant's a wee bit.. Who else could be are own biggest bozo the clown. "Laughter"

I love how lessons in life are passed on through generations to generations and the "Happiness" of not only being a mother but a grandmother too. "Joy"

AND the best lesson in life I have found is that no matter how old you are, you can always go back to school and re-invent yourself. "Creativity"

  3. This is a very powerful and inspiring post. I enjoyed it all but really thought it was strong at the end, regarding laughter and creativity and re-inventing yourself. That is a great quote from Danny Kaye.

    It was great having you in class as part of this community, as well, Debra. You added a unique perspective to class discussions. Best of luck and congrats on your graduation! /lm
