And then BAM ,reality check!

Originally this post was going to be about bullying. I have a daughter who is in her first year of middle school and only 5 weeks in and the girl drama has already begun.

To say I am not prepared is an understatement.

However, with just being informed that a friend has pancreatic cancer most of the other thoughts in my head are gone.

All I can muster up right now is. LET IT GO little girls. The name calling the back biting, who is prettier or has better clothes etc, LET IT GO.

You look at your lives as having so much ahead of you and you do but, cancer does not care who or how old you are. Cancer does not care if you are popular or unpopular or what brand of jeans you wear.

Cherish the moments of good in your lives.

Walk away from the drama.

Words can hurt so choose them wisely.

Don’t let the bad stuff fester stealing your joy.

There are enough things in life that we can not control.

So stand tall be happy with who you are becoming and who you are.

Be the friend you want in life.

Surround yourself with people who will build you up not tear you down.

Mainly just LET IT GO.

Let the mean, bad, sad times go.

Embrace the happiness and pay it forward.

I am not a religious person but for this amazing friend I am praying for her and her family. They have been given some unbearably bad news and anything I can do to ease any pain they are feeling I will do!

If you haven’t told someone you love them or how important they are to you in awhile, stop what you are doing and contact them now. Don’t wait for a better time because there might not be one.
