They say it's your birthday - Miss Mary Powers

They say it’s your birthday

birthday1

Well another year has gone by, just like that! I am actually a huge fan of birthdays. Even though they usually never live up to my expectations (they are REALLY high lol), I still think it’s fun to feel special one day a year. So in my 34 years of life, here are some random things I have learned:

I can’t do life without Jesus
Laugh as much as you can
Laugh at yourself.
Choose your battles, in marriage and parenthood
Life gets better with age
Trying to please people is pointless
Eat cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, if you want!
Break the rules sometimes
Exercise is a must for my mood
I could nag for my profession
A good cry does wonders
Be a good listener
Love your mother, cause you’ll understand once you have kids!
Don’t give a flip what people think
Dance!
Love isn’t a feeling most of the time, it’s a choice
Just do it. Don’t wait for the perfect time. Get out of your comfort zone
Be kind
Buy the shoes! You’ll regret it if you don’t 😉
It WILL pass
Sometimes you gotta get alone and figure it out
Cherish your relationships. PUT IN EFFORT. It’s not supposed to be one sided
Enjoy the little moments
Give
Slow down. Don’t always be in a rush
Gossip and you will be gossiped about too
Go to church
People will judge you no matter what you do, so do what you want
I am an A+ procrastinator
Donuts.
Late at night is a really good time to talk about really serious stuff…. lol
The look on someone’s face is not a giveaway of their mood (still working on this one)
Forgive. and then forgive again! People aren’t perfect.
Be a cheerleader to the people in your life.

Today I get to hang with some really awesome little ladies and bake cupcakes! Then later this week my friend is coming to visit me and we get to have a night out with my amazing friends!! This is going to be a great year and I’m excited for what’s in store ♥

I’ll leave you with a photo that is classic Mary as a kid 🙂
