Honesty is critical.
One might lose all respect for those
who lie - sometimes permanently.
For it's better to face a harsh truth
so one can get over it quickly—
than a long, slumbering falsehood.
Merit and character mean more
than all the riches of the world,
for one's reputation cannot be
bought nor sold to the right people.
@BrianRoemmele In another life, I would love to be an entomologist in the Amazon - there are so many incredible species yet to be discovered on this planet. The invert world is so incredibly fascinating.
@Xristine77 Yes - caring for those you love is the ultimate definition. I could never abandon one I loved simply because it got hard. I love them until the very end.
I adore old things - I surround my home with antique/vintage furniture and items I love ... eccentric and quirky.
I feel that is what makes a home opposed to Pottery Barn or IKEA fluff in each room, for example.
@MoundLore https://t.co/FJbM9qL4pF I believe it's actually for sale. It's not much off the freeway - I hope someone restores it being the very first motel.
Kids go through their phases, especially as newborns. They can just naturally be good sleepers or "wake up" at the three- four month mark.
Sleep regression is aslo completely normal - I found it more common as toddlers and 7ish. But, can happen with babies. Every kid is so different ... it's difficult to predict their behaviors based upon siblings, tbh. 😭
Simplicity and silence
in life is the slice
which all one needs—
time your most valuable currency,
love by your side,
and the motion of the beauty
which naturally surrounds thyself.
