He also told me if, would haves & could haves were diamonds and gold we would all be millionaires!

So, I don't regret decisions or mistakes...

these are actually quotes, but both I try to remember during hard times, "This too shall pass" and one from actress Bette Davis, " Birds pick the best fruit"

there is 2 that I try to live my life by
1. You make a living by what you get, you make a life by what you give
2. J- Jesus
O- Others
Y- Yourself.
Joy is also my real name.

The best that I got was from a friend that called me after my daugter was born and told me to enjoy my baby EVERY day since it is not going to last.

I am a lover of quotes! One of my favorites is "Well behaved women rarely make history." It's a good excuse for the stupid stuff I do on occasion - I'm just makin' history!

Mine would be "be the friend you would like to have".

I also believe there are no coincidences and I know there's a quote for that too, but I can't for the life of me remember it right now.

"Don't let anyone live in your head rent free!"

Way off of all the proverbs but very wise none the less...

My mother told me to buy a pack of diapers every week while pregnant and I would never have to run out in the middle of the night to purchase a pack...this was the best advice ever!
By the way, a good rule of thumb is to buy (starting with size one) eight jumbo packs of each size working your way up (did the math based on 8-10 diaper changes per day).

I also love Oprah advice that she got from Maya Angelou.

Cleaning your house while your children are growing is like shoveling the walk while it's still snowing!

I have no idea where I heard this but it's very true!

"If your heart is not open to pain, then it cannot be open to love"

And of course I love:
"One Day at a Time" &
"Let Go and Let God"

Spent a lot of time with "program" people in my lives - it has to rub off!

My mother said when dealing with children, never say "no" unless you are sure you really mean it.

My dad would say "In 100 years you'll never know the difference" to help us not worry.

Live and let live...

Let go and let God...

This too shall pass...

To thine own self be true...

Practice an attitude of gratitude...

Count your blessings...

The only thing we take from this world when we leave is what we gave away...

Be part of the solution, not the problem...

Money doesn't grow on trees, you better get out and get a job. LOL My Mom used to always say that when I was in my teens because I was always asking for money for something.

Seriously though, Treating others how you wish to be treated and not to take things for granted.
