One more day and then it's February! Your birthday is just 3 weeks away. It's so surreal how time seems to go by so quickly and so slowly at the same time. On one hand, you are going to be 4 and it feels like it's come so fast. On the other hand, it feels so long ago that we were at the hospital having you. You are such a sweet girl and I love you so much!

Here is a quote I found this last week. I want to share it with you because I think it has a lot of good advice:
Live beneath your means. Return everything you borrow. Stop blaming other people. Admit it when you make a mistake. Give clothes not worn to charity. Do something nice and try not to get caught. Listen more; talk less. Every day take a 30-minute walk. Strive for excellence, not perfection. Be on time. Don't make excuses. Don't argue. Get organized. Be kind to people. Be kind to unkind people. Let someone cut ahead of you in line. Take time to be alone. Cultivate good manners. Be humble. Realize and accept that life isn't fair. Know when to keep your mouth shut. Go an entire day without criticizing anyone. Learn from the past. Plan for the future. Live in the present. Don't sweat the small stuff. It's all small stuff.

Love you sweet girl,
MOM
