Confessions of a Smiley Queen: Confessions of a Smiley "Meme" Queen!

I'm somewhat obsessed by memes. Some people collect rock, unicorns, etc.; I collect memes. They've helped me through many of life's trials and inspired me to strive to live life to the fullest. :D

Our basic family rules are so simple that even our new puppy can understand and demonstrate most of them. Be loving, be thankful, be happy, show compassion, and respect one another. Easy peasy, riright?

These "rules" are more like common courtesy type things. We have a few more basic rules in our family (i.e. be truthful, be responsible, obey the law and have good manners comes to mind). But this is it folks. Is this too much to ask?
As parents, it's our job to help our kids learn all of these things. We have and want all the best for them .... we've tried to teach them the above for their future, for their own happiness, for their future bosses, their possible spouses, their possible children and for their and our world. So, young adults and kids out there, help us know that you are "getting" this. Please don't leave us hanging and wondering if all of our parenting was for not.

This meme makes me laugh. vvv How true is this? Please tell me I'm not the only one. So, what I've learned thru the years in regards to this? - Be true to yourself, be kind, but tell it like it is. Speak your truth. So what if "SUDDENLY you are considered the mean one" ;D

This is baloney (of course) but fun. My name is mifute.
