The last few months have been tough as I have watched my greatest hero slowly decline in health.
She touched so many people’s lives, including mine..I am who I am in large part because of my Grandmother Eloise Taylor
So now I’d like to share with you some of the lessons that have stuck with me from the most amazing women.
1. This too shall pass
It’s a reminder that when times are tough that they are just temporary.
2. Kindness and strength can go hand in hand.
My grandmother acted with tenderness and good will towards all . With a an open heart for forgiveness, patience, and compassion she taught me so much about forgiving , patience and compassion for ourselves and others .
3. Love is a verb.
Kind, compassionate, generous, and understanding, My grandmother always took care of the people around her
4. Happiness is appreciating what you have.
My grandmother didn’t require lots of money, a big fancy house, or the nicest clothes. If the people she cared about surrounded her, she felt rich and blessed.
She knew happiness isn’t about wanting more. It’s about truly enjoying what you have.
So today I’d like to leave you with the greatest lesson my Grandmother taught me:
Look around and see what’s precious. Clear your head of all the little things that won’t matter down the line. Enjoy every moment, keep it simple,give to others, act with tenderness and good will towards all and always keep a sense of humor.
Love You Mamaw..
