Sarah, thank you so mch for this great list. I’m going to print it and send a copy to my 2 children—they’re pretty good kids tho and really do these things.
I, on the other hand, will strive to do better on # 18.

Thanks Sarah!I am so touched. I needed to read something like this Really. I had this huge argument with my daughter. In my car I was asking God to help me to be more self disciplined and later we both sent each other messages to say how sorry we were. She is the most sweetest girl a mother could have. When I read this I have to say I take it as a God send.

here are gorky’s lyrics to Happiness:
Oh my heart’s been beating sad
Can’t help thinking about
Times that we’ve had.
Pictures on wall, to minds that fall
It’s hard knowing some people
Don’t care at all
But Happiness will come our way
And magic comes just not today
When ships are sailing across the sea
The lights are on, inside we never see
So here’s to the day, the dying day
I’ll carry on drinking but
I’ll find another way
And how we soared
When times are good
Seems to look these days
The moon is never full
But Happiness will come our way
And magic comes just not today
When ships are sailing across the sea
The lights are on, inside we never see
How long to go?
I don’t know,
I don’t know.
You’ll look in her eyes
And you’ll know and you’ll know..
