What did you learn?
What an amazing list. I am blessed to have a few friends I can count on, and my parents are my best friends. I lost my grandparents when I was very young (under 10), and miss them every single day.
People are always amazed sometimes at my work by my manners (always say yes madam, no sir, please and thank you). I have learned to smile at everyone, for you never know whose day you will brighten.
Happy Birthday and I love this post! I did something similar to this (http://nicoleandkevin.wordpress.com/2012/12/17/29-things-ive-learned-in-29-years/) on my 29th birthday too. You’ve offered great lessons/advice for all of us, no matter how old we are. Hope you’re having a great time in California. Blessings + Hugs. =)
Love this post!!! And an amazing list.
This post is AMAZINGGGGGG 🙂 Each and every one of them is so so true and important to remember!
Love this list… Especially #’s 8 and 27 – 29! Happy Belated Birthday! here’s to many many more
Please & Thank You go a long way! I make sure to use them as often as I can! & you know how I feel about my grandparents, so I totally agree with that one as well, most of these in fact 🙂
Love this post!! 🙂 Have a great weekend!
Am I the unpopular friend? lol!
I have learned a lot of the same thing, pluss don´t care so much about what other people think and feel and mean about you and always try and do your best at everything especially work and relationships! 🙂
I love all 29 of your things. I especially like the two about spending time with your parents and grandparents. So important, those moments with them are so priceless.
Love your list! I love that your never too old to cry on mama’s shoulder. SO true!
