Twenty-Six #BirthdayGirl

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Saturday officially was my date of birth, I had a great day, super low-key, lunch in the city (a.k.a Philadelphia), birthday cake & Netflix on the couch. This year I wasn't "all about" my birthday as I usually am. Maybe because I am 26 & past the partying stage? I am not really sure, but this year was way different than last year's extravaganza in Vegas! But I still loved every minute of it. I wrote these 26 things the morning of my birthday & it really made me reflect on these past years & my future as a wife, daughter, sister, aunt & friend. These are simple things, but nice to be reminded of from time to time. I am no expert on life, but these reminders keep me grounded & work for me :)

1. Be kind.
2. Work hard.
3. Laugh constantly.
4. Stay humble.
5. Smile a lot.
6. Be confident.
7. Stay loyal.
8. Be honest with yourself.
9. Travel often.
10. Learn something new each day.
11. Be thankful always.
12. You can't control everything.
13. Enjoy the little things.
14. Change can also be good.
15. Constant positivity.
16. Trust your journey through life.
17. Accept what is.
18. Apologize when you're wrong.
19. Forgive others.
20. Make mistakes.
21 Learn from your mistakes.
22. Create opportunity.
23. Eat well.
24. Wear the dress.
25. Buy the shoes.
26. Love with all your heart.
