Letters to write.

 Cristi gave me a number of letters that I will be writing to my grandchildren for them to read in the future. What I want the most is for my children to know how much I love them and want them to be truly happy.

Some of the questions are:

Here is a special story about our family...

It may surprise you to learn that when I was young...

One positive change in the world I have witnessed is...

When my mother was young...

I'm curious to see how you...

When I was younger I wish I had known...

My brightest hope for the future is...

What I want you to know about me...

My wishes for you are...

The best advice anyone ever game me was or what is the greats life lesson you have ever learned?
And here is the following posible answer to this question because there are so many!

Love, interact and relate with no expectations.

Never give up. Dream big and make them come true. Believe in you!

You can’t change anybody. You can only change yourself.

To not take things so seriously.

 To trust God, clean house. (Inside, emotional, house cleaning) help others.

Don’t judge.

Don’t put off relationships. People die sooner than you think.

Don’t worry about what others think.

Care about others and give of your time.

Nothing is free.

Money can’t buy happiness.

Trust no one but yourself. 

Hard work pays off.

Always make others feel better about themselves. Love all. Be happy. Pick yourself up and go on. Life’s pains and joys makes us strong.

Don’t compromise on what you believe is the right thing to do.

Honesty is the best policy. Do the right thing even when no one is watching!

Trust God in all things.

Don’t give advice unless asked.

Be at peace with the idea that life is not fair and it never will be fair and it isn’t for anyone, it’s ok.

Keep your chin up.

See with your mouth, listen with your eyes, and speak with your ears.

Stop and listen to what stories seniors have to tell.

Don’t take advice from someone who doesn’t live with the consequences.

Actions speak louder than words.

The secret to a happy marriage is to never stop dating.

Never give up and believe in yourself.

Don’t try to win conversations, try to win people.

It is what it is.

Leave an amazing legacy.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Positive people attract positive people and negative people attract negative people make the right choice when choosing friends.

Those who talk about others to you will talk about you to others.

Sometimes it is better to do nothing, the problem will have its own solution.

Make it a great day every day.

Make peace with your past so you can move forward.

Every day is a holiday, every meal is a feast. Improvise, overcome and adapt.

Don’t worry, be happy.

What others think of me is none of my business.

Live, don’t just exist.

Be grateful for what you have and do not hate those who have more. It doesn’t mean they are happier than you.

No matter how bad you have it, someone has it worse.

When given lemons learn to make lemonade.

The only person you can have expectations is of yourself.

If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.

Life will always have its challenges. It’s how we grow and listen.

A man who treats his woman like a princess shows he was raised by a queen.

Put your life in God’s hands, the rest will fall into place.

Give your heart and life to Christ.

Put your spouse before anyone. We choose who we marry, we don’t choose our family or our children. Our children will become adults, marry and have kids of their own and move on with their families and lives but your spouse hopefully will be always by your side till the end.

Have confidence in the Lord and yourself and not be intimidated in a man, no matter how well to do or what tittle he possesses.

Never love someone that can’t love you back.

Get your education. Those years will pass anyway so just do it!

Success is the best revenge.

When dating, see how he treats his family, when you are married, you will become one of them.

Don’t discuss problems in your marriage outside of your marriage. “La ropa se lava en casa”

Don’t take yourself seriously.

Don’t let your struggles become our identity, never take something personal from someone who doesn’t know you.

Get your self-esteem through self-reliance.

From the Book Believe. Believe there is always, always a way. As Thomas Edison once said.: “When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this: you haven’t.”

“Can’t never could because can beat’em to it!

This too will pass like a kidney stone but it will pass.

Pick your battles.

Remember to smile.

Scratch where it itches.

When in doubt, leave it out. You can’t control the bad stuff that happens to you but you can control how you respond to it. That is where the magic is.

What others think of me is none of my business.

Never forget you are not alone, the Lord is by your side.

You can be the juiciest peach on the tree and some people like apples.

Never let the opportunity pass to tell someone you love them.

Don’t let anyone treat you less than a daughter of God.

Con amor,

Vero
