My values.

September 15, 2019

I don’t have secrets.

I don’t know what I don’t know.

I keep promises.

I love hard. So sometimes I hurt hard. And that’s just fine with me. If it bothers you, too bad because I can’t imagine life without loving hard.

I’m grateful for all of my life. All of it. The amazing and the really shitty stuff. Seriously I can find a way to be grateful for it all. Well, with that one exception. And you know who you are.

I’m fiercely loyal to my friends and family and I expect the same in return.

I learn from my mistakes.

I take really good care of my body. My muscles, my liver, my teeth, my skin, all of it. You just get one body in this life.

I live my life in the present. The past is over and the future is not mine to control.

I dress my best when I’m with others. And I iron my clothes. For dinners or traveling. I just think it’s more respectful. And elegant. I like elegant.

I trust everyone, until proven wrong. Unless you give me a bad feeling from the get go. You know that just happens sometimes.

I believe in a loving God, but I will never judge anyone for their personal beliefs. Unless they harm others intentionally, that belief system I will judge all day long.

I think this world of ours and the people in it are so beautiful. It’s complicated but I am in constant awe of it all. I mean flowers, we get flowers. And mountains and oceans. And sunshine and that smell of rain on sidewalks in the summer. We get that stuff for free.

That’s it. That’s all I’ve got.
