Hey GrayViners!

Alright, let’s get a little reflective today.

What’s a life lesson you’ve picked up along the way that made things just a little easier, a little better—or at least gave you a good story to tell? Maybe it’s something practical, like “always check your tire pressure", or something deeper, like “you can’t pour from an empty cup”.

I’ll go first: Mine is you don’t have to answer the phone just because it’s ringing. Took me way too long to learn that one—and let me tell you, it’s been peaceful ever since.

Now it’s your turn—what do you wish more people knew? Drop your wisdom below!

Cheers!
Blue 💙

I'm reading a book called It's Them, you can't make them think and feel the way you do so let it go and as soon as you do 5 4 3 2 1. It's THEM
 
You don't know what other people have been through. Don't judge. Be kind no matter who it is. If you can't be kind then walk away.

Be kind. Be generous. Respect others, all others, especially those who respect you. Don’t gossip. Tell the truth and live your truth. Don’t stay silent when you see something do something. Be patient. I'm sure I have forgotten something. Pray.
 
My advice is never hesitate to give a stranger a compliment, you will brighten their day. You never know what people are going through.
 
Take time and enjoy each season of life. Enjoy your kids and trust your intuition. If it feels wrong trust that.
