The best remedy for a bad day is to treat someone kinder than the world is treating you.

Holding A Grudge Doesn’t Make You Strong “Holding a grudge doesn’t make you strong; it makes you bitter. Forgiving doesn’t make you weak; it sets you free.” – Dave Willis

Your Kids Need Time WITH You, Not Things FROM You. Your kids don't need you to buy them more things. They just need more time with you. Remember, you can't buy memories, you can only make them.

Life is a double-win. The more we help others, the further we all go. Always look for a way to lift someone up, if that's all you can do, that's more than enough.

LETTER FROM A MOTHER TO A DAUGHTER:

My dear girl, the day you see I'm getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I'm going through. If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don't interrupt to say: "You said the same thing a minute ago"... Just listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same story night after night until you would fall asleep.

When I don't want to take a bath, don't be mad and don't embarrass me. Remember when I had to run after you making excuses and trying to get you to take a shower when you were just a girl?

When you see how ignorant I am when it comes to new technology, give me the time to learn and don't look at me that way ... remember, honey, I patiently taught you how to do many things like eating appropriately, getting dressed, combing your hair and dealing with life's issues every day... the day you see I'm getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I'm going through.

If I occasionally lose track of what we're talking about, give me the time to remember, and if I can't, don't be nervous, impatient or arrogant. Just know in your heart that the most important thing for me is to be with you.

And when my old, tired legs don't let me move as quickly as before, give me your hand the same way that I offered mine to you when you first walked. When those days come, don't feel sad... just be with me, and understand me while I get to the end of my life with love. I'll cherish and thank you for the gift of time and joy we shared. With a big smile and the huge love I've always had for you, I just want to say, I love you ... my darling daughter.

In our competitive world, we are always rushing them from class to class trying to get our kids to grow up and excel in sports, school and music.

But sometimes it's ok to just let them be little.

Let them be kids so they can have fun innocently and effortlessly be themselves.

These are the times when they will be able to fondly remember their childhood. Also, they will only be small.
