    Maya Angelou once said: “When someone shows you who they are, believe them.” To this day, that’s probably the best advice I’ve ever received.

    No matter how a situation appears, there is always that one piece of information that could change the whole thing and give new perspective if it were known. Be slow to judge.

    My dad told me as a kid that if I started saving my money as a kid I wouldnt have to work when I was his age. I wished I had listened.

    A friend once told me…”Not all pain is bad.” Glad I listened.

    Choose to be happy…. i am an army wife and many time on my own with our kids…. often times its easy to get caught up in the stress and pain of the day to day with that kind of life, especially when your spouse wasnt the best guy to have around either… i dont even really remember where i got this advice but CHOOSING to be happy has changed my marraige, my perspective, and even my life
