Inspired by and written for a few of my favorite people
And my brief 28 years of life-experience
1. Do - Be the best version of yourself
2. Do - Find the "one" who loves you for who you are
3. Do - Take a chance
4. Don't - Worry
5. Do - Accessorize (at my favorite place)
6. Do - Laugh, out-loud and at yourself
7. Do - Find that perfect pair of jeans, pay ca$h, and wear the knees out of them
8. Do - Forgive yourself, because you can't move on until you do
9. Do - Call your mom on her birthday
10. Don't - Indulge in a Nestle drumstick and three cookies before your 5K workout
11. Do - Exercise till you sweat
12. Do - Sing
13. Do - Listen to that still small voice in your head
14. Do - Trust your sense of direction (unless you're me and have none, then only take directions with Left and Right details)
15. Do - Watch your children sleeping (especially after a hard day)
16. Don't - Go to bed angry
17. Do - Cry, both tears of joy and of sadness
18. Do - Take your parents advice
19. Do - Listen, with an uncluttered mind, without planning your rebuttal
20. Do - Trust
21. Don't - Have a dog in the city unless you are willing to pick up their poop
22. Do - Dance, totally uninhibited (many, no, MOST times this will induce #6)
23. Do - Pray
24. Do - Believe that God will answer your prayers, and sometimes, when He's silent you just have to take a step out in faith and #20 and #23
25. Don't - Lie, to yourself or others
26. Do - Buy her flowers (whoever "her" may be in your life)
27. Do - Remember your friends birthdays, and arrange a babysitter so you can go out to lunch without kids (there will be other days for Chick-Fil-A)
28. Do - Stay close to your family, and let them know how much they mean to you and thank God for blessing you with them
29. Don't - Speak hurtful, thoughtless words...because as soon as you do you'll want to stuff them back in your mouth, and you won't be able to
30. Do - Read the Bible
31. Do - Your best and be content
