In honor of the approaching Mother's Day, I am going to stop being selfish by sharing some words of wisdom I recieved from my mother recently via the card pictured above. Below are her excellent TIPS:
"Debbi,
Thought you could use some [love] today.
April and May are hard college months. Keep up with all your homework and 'steady on.' As is said, 'one day at a time' and sometimes it is one hour at a time and even one minute at a time. Hold tight to your belief in yourself and in God's blessing you with talents in music and drama and how well you write. We believe in you!
Love, Mom and Dad"
My mom likes to show her love best through cards and gifts. I cannot tell you how many cards I have received in my life from this woman. However, I can't remember ever receiving one like this. With so much thought and care and love and so many words. I'll probably frame it and cherish it forever as I cherish my mom. So in her words, believe in yourself, friends! And one [adventure] at a time.
