I Am My Mother's Daughter

Life Wisdom Acquired by Watching My Mother
By Pamela Wheeler Storz on Annette Wheeler's Birthday
February 13, 2011 and Mother's Day, 2011

Conventional isn’t necessarily correct. Color outside the lines joyfully!
Always say “Thank You” humbly, with a smile.
There is no excuse for being bored. A distraction from the mundane is nearby—look around!
Yes ma’am, no sir, please, thank you, may I be excused?
A book and a quiet corner indulge imagination, ease tension, and offer a rare moment of privacy.
Always try to look my best no matter the circumstances.

 
Be God’s servant.
Free-spirited is lovely…wayward causes disenchantment.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say children may not call their father “Hon.”
Be Brave.
Engage strangers.
Nourish your talents.
Love your animals…they’re God’s creatures too!
Be a source of comfort to others.
Even if opinions differ, they are all worthy of attention, and do not change love for one another.
When wrong, admit it, apologize, and move along. Do not repeat.

Practice endless compassion.
Grief never ends, but the load is lightened by time and our Heavenly Father.
Change is not frightening, it’s an adventure! Always warn loved ones before change…especially if it’s the furniture and they are returning home late in the dark.


Be vigilant and discerning—when something “feels” creepy, it probably is creepy.
“Huh?” is not a word and beige is not a color.
Create works of art out of the ordinary.
Keep your sweet nature.
Smile always, laugh often.
Keep marching, even if your drummer is unique.


Indulge the “Once Upon a Time” moments.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.”
Embrace your naturally curly hair.
Whistle a happy tune.
Keep Jesus first, everything else will fall into place.

Happy Birthday, Happy Mother's Day Momi--I love you!
