Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life.-Herbert Henry Asquith

Thoughts for a 4-year old:

-growing up isn't all it's cracked up to be so don't be in such a rush to do it...you'll have plenty of time to work and write checks and drive...enjoy having someone else doing those things for you

-life ususally won't go the way that you have it planned in your head...there will be a lot of surprises and a lot of changes (and a lot of them will be things that you might not want at first) but things turn out in the end...so have faith and keep pushing along

-life gets busy as you get older so take some time now to lay back and look up at the clouds...it's amazing how little time you have to do that as you get older and busier

-forgive others...and forgive yourself...there will be plenty of mistakes made but it isn't worth it to waste time being mad or hurt...forgive and move on

-friends will probably hurt you and boys will definitely hurt you...but remember that when good friends and good boys come along...the good outweighs the bad

-your family will always be there for you so hold them close to your heart...they might drive you crazy most of the time but never give up on people that love you the most

-have fun with everything you do...if you aren't having fun, then it probably isn't worth doing

-never forget to tell people how you feel...life is fleeting and you never know which day will be the last

-cry when you need to, laugh when you can, and smile all the time...life is good if you let it be

Happy birthday to my most favorite 4 year old in the world!
