Happy Birthday To Me

November 14, 2017 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 10 Comments

Good morning! Yesterday was my 51st birthday and as I typically do I wanted to share a a few lessons I learned this year. 

1. Live your life every day and forget your age. 

2. Every day is a NEW day. 

3. Inner peace is the best peace. 

5. Sometimes burning bridges is awesome. It prevents you from going back to places you should never have visited to begin with. 

6. My mother was right. 

7. Sometimes you need yoga. Sometimes you need a donut. Sometimes you need both. 

8. Silence isn’t empty. It’s full of answers. You simply have to listen. 

9. If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you. 

10. Sometimes you forgive people simply because you still want them in your life. 

Have a great day!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I hope that chocolate cake was all for you:) I love all of these but that every day is a new day is to me, the most meaningful.

    We all have the capability of charting our own course and get a fresh start each and every day. On that note, hope your journey in life this year is one filled with much happiness, laughter and seizing your dreams!! And of course hope there are many baked goods in your future:)
