Journal entry for my kids when they read this blog! I hope with everything in me that they will always make good choices and see the difference between what is right and what is wrong. I hope that they know the difference between the popular choice and the right choice! I hope with all my heart that they make good choices in friends that will help them to make those right decisions. I pray every day that they will have confidence in themselves. I hope that they realize that friends aren't everything in life and that family is forever! I hope that all of my girls will accept each other and love each other like best friends ( and their mom!). Friend time is important, but family time is more important! It is so true what they say about knowing that there are people that are wolves in sheeps clothing! I am so tired of people that aren't real. I know that they will come across so many mean girls in their life and I hope that they are able to recongnize that and remove them from their lives! Life is hard enough, especially for girls growing up! I always tell my kids to be nice no matter what and to accept everyone without judgement and then I follow up on it! Life is not a competition and it's not about how many friends you have. Thank goodness for my husband that is my best friend and that I love to spend time with! I love all the girlfriends that I have and am sure that I will make many new friends as we age, but I love my family and husband the most! I love a good girls night out, but love to get home to my family. They are who get me through every day and love me unconditionally. As I have grown older, I have made friends with so many new people that I love. The people that are my friends are so different than when I was younger. You have to have friendships that are easy and not stessfull. I wish my children long happy lives with lots of love from family and easy friendships with GENUINE people that love them like family! ( by the way nothing bad happened to me today, I just see how hard it is for kids and didn't necessarily have confidence in myself when I was younger and want you to see the things I wish I would have seen or known growing up!) I don't know what the change was, but as and adult I have so much more confidence in myself, who I am and what I'm about. I feel like confidence comes from knowing that you are a good person that people can like and relate to. While I'm giving advice, work hard, play hard ,save your money and most of all love who you are! Love you! Mom
