I Believe...

These beliefs make me happy (my friend sent them to me):

I Believe... That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do love each other.

I Believe...That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.

I Believe..That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe...That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.

I Believe... That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

I Believe...That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

I Believe...That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe... That you can keep going long after you think you can't.

I Believe...That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I Believe...That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I Believe...That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I Believe...That my best friend and I, can do anything, or nothing and have the best time.

I Believe...That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe...That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I Believe..That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others. sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I Believe...That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.

I Believe...That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but, we are responsible for who we become.

I Believe...Two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

I Believe...That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.

I Believe...That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.

I Believe...That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

Fashionably Late

I don't mean to turn this into a Mik blog...but this was our conversation this morning as I was helping her get ready for a birthday party:

Mik: Mom, am I going to be late to the party or what???

Me: No, we have plenty of time. Don't worry.

Mik: No, I mean...are we going to be late, because I have to be late.

Me: You want to be late???

Mik: Mom, I have to be the most fashion there. And if I'm late I will for sure be the MOST FASHION at the party!!!! So, am I late?

Speaking in Tongues...

Yesterday I had the following conversation with Mik:

Mik: I love my tongue

Me: I love your tongue too. Do you know how many amazing things your tongue does? It allows you to taste different things like sweet, sour, spicy.... It also helps you speak. It also...

Mik: (interupts) Mom, I'm NOT talking about that. I'm talking about how it's a remote.

Me: What???

Mik: When I go to bed I press the right side of my tongue if I want a good dream and the left side if I want a bad dream. And if I'm having a bad dream, I wake up and change the channel on my tongue.
