1. Laugh often; It's a great work out for your abs. Giggle until you nearly wet your pants.
3. Forgive easily. Being "right" can be very lonely. Better to forgive and move on.
5. Wear clothes that are comfortable, not just because they have the right label.
6. Dance whenever you feel like it. With or without the beat. Partners are optional, that's what imaginary friends are for.
7. Be fearless. A cannonball makes a bigger splash than a swan dive. Grass stains and dirt are signs of a life well-lived.
9.Eat chocolate chip cookies for breakfast without feeling guilty. No counting calories, fat grams or carbs.
10. Find beauty wherever you can. Dandelions make pretty bouquets too. And now it's your turn, what can you learn from your kids?

I have learned ever so many things from my children and I continue to learn more each day.
I've learned to not make snap judgments--to hear the whole story before forming an opinion.
I've learned to cherish each day and count blessings minute by minute.
I've learned that prayer is an essential element of every morning and night.
I've learned that relationships are more important than anything of this world and the effort I expend to develop those will serve me better than any other use of my time.
There are so many more, and like I said, new things occur to me every day.
Thanks, kids!! Thanks, Lisa!
Great post and great list! Loved it. Stopping by from Mama Kat's.
I've been waiting my whole life to give me permission to eat cookies for breakfast... I'm going to raid the cookie jar now!
(Visiting from Mama Kat's. Your list is great!)
This is beautiful and SO true! I especially like the part about eating chocolate chip cookies...thanks for the excuse ;)
What a sweet list! You obviously have wonderful children and are very wise to stop and learn the lessons they can teach!
