Sometimes that message can be received in different ways. (Depending on who it’s coming from) I’m glad you were open to that advice!

“The Fu€%in you give ain’t worth the Fu€%in you get”

Kinda aligns with Karma…so memorable advice for me anyway :blush:

In recovery

During detox, I felt like death. My substance abuse counselor said,

“see this feel this, experience this, and remember you never have to feel this way again”

Oh, there are so many to chose from…

Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?

Let go or be dragged.

Don’t sweat the small stuff.

Pick your battles (especially pertinent with teenagers).

Always check the flue before lighting a fireplace.

Use birth control.

Your most important relationship is with yourself.

I told my son when he met his first girlfriend, if I am a grandparent before 60, rest assured your life may be in danger… he took it seriously.

Best birth control ever

Lol, I was the opposite and so hoped to be a young grandmother, since I didn’t take that advice seriously enough myself.

Feel the feelings…to which I amend it to say: honestly, wholly, and unapologetically.
