BIRTHDAY WISHES: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALEX H.!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY WONDERFUL NIECE,

ALEX H.!

 ...Alex, I am so proud of you on this day.

Not because you are turning 21,

but because you have turned into such an awesome human being.

My cup runneth over-- indeed.

Tears run down my cheeks just thinking of all the wonderful

memories through-out the years...and wondering indeed:

"where did time go?"

Time waits for no one, so mija, go seek what will make you

happiest in life, and do all that you can to attain it.

Always keep true to yourself...remember the adage"

"to thyself be true."

Keep being the gentle person you have always been.

Keep letting the kindness that you bestow on others be your guiding light.

But never succumb to those who do not have your best interest at heart!

You journey on the road to a good life will be a glorious one.

I cannot wait to see how more wonderful and extraordinary you become.

Have a wonderful time in Austin today.  

Blessings and total love from Tia!

Five things:

1. You are solidly in your 20s now. I can see you getting more solid in your values, beliefs, and goals...never stray from who you have been; you are awesome!
2. I know that you can accomplish your goals because you are talented and persistent.
3. Always be mindful of other's feelings...one never knows when another person is having a bad day...the very words we utter could be the last ones they hear.
4. Let respect be more for yourself -- if others seem unworthy of respect, it is best to keep your own respect in tact.
5. Never wash dishes when you have to use the bathroom.  I have been telling you this since you were a baby, you didn't think I would forget it, did you?  LOL!
