I asked for my mom's advice and she sent me a forward....

I love my mother. We talk almost everyday about the things going on in our lives. She is the most kind, patient, and loving woman I know. Both of my parents have always been amazing at believing in me and trusting my judgement. Whenever I go to my mother looking for advice, she usually listens to me and then makes a statement like, "I know that you will do the right thing" or "Mandy, you'd know better than I would." We have joked about this between the two of us. Well, I asked for advice on dating, relationships, and friendships. She said "Oh, I have some advice for you!" I thought, "Wow!!! My mom is going to give me advice this time" so I was prepping myself for this event. Then she said, "Let me look it up on my email. Awww.... here it is. I will forward it to you." Yes, that is right.... her advice was a mass forward.

I have shared this advice with a few of you. Mary loves the advice. Dan and I are starting to better appreciate the advice. I hope that it can be exactly what each of you need.

So here it is ....... straight from Tina Jensen's heart to your heart. And yes, #4 is for all of you.

Read Each One Carefully and Think About It a Second or Two
1. I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you..

2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.

3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.

5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.

6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.

7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.

8. Don't waste your time on a man / woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.

9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.

10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened

11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.

12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try to know someone else and expect them to know you.

13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.
