I think his main advice to me was always to not sweat the small stuff. I'm a big worrier by nature, so he would urge me to let the little things go and try to focus on the big picture instead.<br /><br />My mother taught me to have faith that whatever is supposed to happen will happen, regardless of whether I worry about it or not. That's a lesson I still struggle to incorporate into my life each day.Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18275839554554036296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502932336583762729.post-28378065741609899952010-03-19T05:57:09.428-07:002010-03-19T05:57:09.428-07:00My mom always told me, "Don't be in such ...My mom always told me, "Don't be in such a rush to grow up!" I wish I had listened to her. And I plan on telling my kids the same thing.<br /><br />I like all of your examples. Especially #1! I was raised kind of middle of the road - we ate healthy, but on weekends my mom and I would turn into little junk food junkies. In the last few years I have outgrown that habit.<br /><br />My oldest daughter is 5 and struggling with a little chunkiness. Of course, she has some medical stuff going on right now, and her doctor is trying to decide if weight gain is part of that. <br /><br />But I have changed her eating habits. Less dairy. More fruits and veggies. And I cracked down on my mom sneaking them out to eat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502932336583762729.post-59736465486215504872010-03-19T05:35:56.171-07:002010-03-19T05:35:56.171-07:00Not THE most important, but Mr. Martin taught me t...Not THE most important, but Mr. Martin taught me the importance of a firm handshake.
