Humble and Kind ~


Humble and Kind 


"You know there's a light that glows by the front door
Don't forget the key's under the mat
When childhood stars shine,
Always be humble and kind

Go to church 'cause your mamma says to
visit grandpa every chance that you can
It won't be wasted time
Always be humble and kind

Hold the door, say, "please" say, "thank you"
Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie
I know you got mountains to climb
But always stay humble and kind
When the dreams you're dreamin' come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride 
But always stay humble and kind

Don't expect a free ride from no one 
Don't hold a grudge or a chip and here's why:
Bitterness keeps you from flyin'
Always stay humble and kind

Know the difference between sleeping with someone 
And sleeping with someone you love
"I love you" ain't no pick-up line
So always stay humble and kind

Hold the door, say, "please" say, "thank you"
Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie
I know you got mountains to climb
But always stay humble and kind
When those dreams you're dreamin' come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride
But always stay humble and kind

When it's hot, eat a root beer popsicle
Shut off the AC and roll the windows down
Let the summer sun shine
Always stay humble and kind

Don't take for granted the love this life gives you
When you get where you're going don't forget turn back around
And help the next one in line
Always stay humble and kind"

Losing Memories to Alzheimer's ~





“I’ve been thinking a lot about memory, how much it defines us. How much of our character is built from it . . . our personalities, our loyalties, our souls, their response to what came before. We’re the sum total of the connections we’ve made, and the people we’ve lost. Memories are the building blocks of our identity, without them, who we are would be lost to us.”
