We have had several exciting events happen to our family during the past few months. Each one has made Keith and I sit back and try to figure out where did the time go. Our youngest daughter completed her Senior moves in Figure skating and she is now a USFSA gold medallist. Our middle daughter turned 21 and our oldest daughter graduated from Western Washington University with a degree in Sociology. They are remarkable young adults and their futures look bright and promising.
Keith and I were talking about our girls which got us thinking about what we could tell each daughter as they continue their life journey as adults. First, finding and doing what you are passionate about gives you power to handle other aspects of your life. Second, fifty years from now, what will you wish you had done? What ever you choose to do make sure it is something that brings you joy. However, always make God and your family your priority. The rewards of God and family last forever. Third, stay optimistic. Keep a good attitude about your situation and about others. Pray continuously! Look to the Bible for answers. Fourth, you will make mistakes along the way but often the tough stuff can better your future. Along with making mistakes don't be afraid of failure....you may fail once, twice, three or more times but that does not mean you are finished and often the failure in life makes you stronger. Finally, I recommend reading Dr. Seuss's "Oh, the Places You'll Go".....never lose your childlike wonder.
Remember the World is your Oyster! Now go find your Pearl!!!
