1. That I love my kids more every day. They are incredible humans and I am astounded they came from me. Each year I'm astounded by the depth of love I have for my munchkins. Each year I think it can't grow. Each year it does.
2. That actions speak louder than words. People will tell you what you want to hear in order to get what they want out of you. If they're not doing what they said they would. They won't. Don't fall for their bullshit.
3. That expectations lead to disappointment.
4. To always choose experiences over possessions.
5. Things don't always work out. Always have a plan B.
6. To take care of myself. Eat well. Drink plenty of water. Exercise. Invest in health. You'll pay for it at one end or the other so it might as well be the farmer over the physician.
7. Rely on no one
8. True happiness comes from within. Make your own and carry it with you.
9. To fight for what you want but don't let the battle consume you. Know when you have been beaten. When you lose, hold your head high and walk away with pride knowing you gave it your best shot.
10. To always telling the truth. It may not be the fastest road to where you want to get to but you'll arrive there in peace.
In 2015 I lived. I truly lived life. I travelled and spent time with those I love. I took chances and tried new things. I listened more and spoke less. I found patience through acceptance. I rested more and stressed less.
In 2016 I will not only turn forty but I will cross off my topmost bucket list wish - to travel to New York.
