She said...

Things Ms. Daisy has ALWAYS told me...
1) You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar
2) Never go to bed with dirty feet
3) Always fix yourself up, you never know who you're going to run into
4) Some people marry for money, but she married a man who loved her more than she loved him.
5) It's okay to keep some things to yourself, it keeps mystery in a relationship.
6) There's no fool like an educated fool
7) If a wife doesn't take care of home and her husband she's a damn fool because someone else will

My Life

Some days I feel like fml...I will very soon be kissing 30 good-bye. I was told by a "friend" that 40 was a bitch and she was coming for me whether I like it or not. I snickered since she had already laid them out in no uncertain terms. I had some friends who met her gracefully and continued to live accordingly. Well the end of 2010 was a little rough but I have decided that instead of trying to duck the inevitable I will kiss my 30's goodbye like that lover that is just no longer for me and I am preparing to wholeheartedly embrace 40 with every bit of passion I have inside of me.

I see turning 40 like I see life...sometimes we make things WAAAY more difficult than they need to be. I am committing to at least once a week sit down and share a life lesson or some tidbit of information I have learned on my own or even possibly shared by Ms. Daisy (my 83 yr old grandmother who giggles and laughs until she pees her pants at my occasional bad behavior).

I feel like if more people shared real stuff instead of bs the world would be a better place. I'm working on it...how about you?
