Happiness
"Happiness comes in a circular motion....."
Glad to see you so happy :) I know it has been a while since I have written, time has really slipped away. Since I last wrote, it seems a lot has changed. It is nice to see hear the smile on your face in your voice.
Lots of Lovin :) <3

Don't Expect Anything & You'll Never Get Hurt
Another Valuable Life Lesson:
If you never expect anything from anyone, than you will never get hurt. It's hard to break the habit of expectations, but once you do, you will be a lot happier. The only person you should expect anything from is yourself, because you can control you, everything else in life should be unexpected. This makes it more fun, and more enjoyable. I've learned that if you expect too much from people, either because it is something you think they are capable of, or something you know you would do yourself, you end up crushed when you realize that not everyone's heart is as generous and kind!
Some good quotes that capture this idea:
"Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarain" - Dennis Wholey
"Never idealize others. They wil never live up to your expectations." =Leo Buscaglia
"As I know more of mankind, I expect less of them, and am ready to now call a man a good man, upon easier terms than I was formerly." Samuel Johnson

Lessons Learned
Here is something else i have learned.... while we may all want everyone else to like us, it is essential to like and love yourself first. Once you get that down, and once you realize you have a core group of people that love you for you, that's all that matters. Everyone else and everything else is an afterthought. I have learned to have confidence in myself, and in the fact that other people really do like me and really do love me. Even if at times it seems like that may not be true, it is true, you always have people who love you for you and people who like you for you. You always have us!

Take One
So I figured I can't just sit here and do nothing, SO I should sit here and do something. I thought about doing this before, and now I think it is necessary. I think maybe it is necessary for you to know just how much you are loved and the reasons why. I also think that maybe I can provide you with some lessons I learned, that may eventually help you love yourself a little more.
But at first attempt, here are some reasons why I love you:
10. You are my twin, we shared 9 months (well, 10 actually, shotty little lie of life) in a womb together, I've known you longer than anyone.
9. Your uncontrollable laughter, which you and mom share...even though sometime it's embarrassing it is infectious and a great quality to have.
8. On that note, it is a great quality to have to not care TOO much what other people think about you, that is rare, hold on to that.
7. The dedication and determination you put into the gym and losing weight is something I will always admire, that takes guts and drive and good for you for having all of that.
6. You have a lot of interests and passions, I don't know too many people that will watch a show about midgets, Ellen, Oprah and the discovery channel
5. How much you love your job and working with kids and the sincere patience you have for them.
4. The fact that we spent several summers together at the place that has definitely shaped who I am, and that you know all the intricacies of my life there!
3. That when our family gets together, all 5 of us, we know how to do it right! It's a good mix, know that, appreciate that, and love that :)
2. That you are pretty true to yourself. It's hard to do exactly what you want and make it work, and you can manage that.
1. You are You. Just remember, everyone is Unique :) We are all here for a reason and we have the ability to create our own stories.
BE YOU, LOVE YOU, LIVE YOU!
