It’s starting to look like I can’t write an original thought for myself, isn’t it? 😛 Well, I can’t help it – I read things that touch me, move me, and I don’t want to just rewrite them here, I want to be sure and give credit.

I happen to follow blogs. A LOT of blogs. More than I can count, in many ways (RSS, Google Reader, email, etc.) And no I don’t read every blog every day, but I do look at many of them, sometimes a little late.

Here’s a gem. This is freaking awesome.

Another Suburban Mom’s Philosophy on Life

And I’m quoting a bit much, but who cares:

The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are sometimes the most important ones.

If someone loves you, give love back to them in whatever way you can, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and listen to what they have to say.

Yes. yes. yes. I wonder if it’s too late for me to start?
