· You can talk to your mom about anything and she will always know the right answer

· People do mean things
· Be happy with who you are
· Always exercise, even 2 weeks off makes it hard to start again
· Full time grad school is no joke
· You always miss people when they pass away. It doesn’t always hurt, and you cry less and less, but you will always miss them.
· Cats will wake up in the middle of the night and knock everything off any counter and dresser, they will also expect you to wake up at 4 am and play. They do not care if you have to work in the morning.
· People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone ~Audrey Hepburn
· Never give up hope. Even doctors don’t know what will happen; I see miracles all of the time!!
· Life always brings unexpected surprises just when it is needed!!

· Not everyone that is your life has good intentions so tread cautiously with the information you give them.
· Be grateful for every day!!
