F5: All About Life
1. What do you most want to be remembered for? Being the same kind of person my parents were, or what they raised me to be. They are wonderful, kind, respectful, full of faith in God, generous, well-mannered... Should I go on? Also I want to be remembered like people remember my grandma, a woman full of love for others and strong! And of course, as a mother... a great mother.
2. What quotation best fits your outlook on life? "Never regret what you have done. Regret what you haven't" -- I kind of made it myself, but I probably heard it somewhere and my subconscious-self caught it. Even if we make mistakes, they are a school for the future. Try to live each day on a way you learn something and if you fall down, then you just get up and continue!
3. What single achievement are you most proud of in the past year? Will I sound like a loser if I say nothing? But no, that would be unfair. Ok, my biggest achievement has been health-related. Being able to control my Pituitary Tumor by following the doctor's advice. I'm still waiting for more things to happen; this last year has been too plain.
4. What about the past ten years? Seriously? I think I've grown up a lot, I've overcome 3 major depressions, I didn't give up. I married the most wonderful man there is on the face of the earth (yes, I know I'm a little bit biased). I moved to this wonderful country and here I've achieved many things I couldn't have done in Colombia. I just need a baby... a little baby.
5. If you were asked to give a child a single piece of advice to guide them through life, what would you say? Be yourself, no matter how much other people pressure you. Never be afraid to say NO, never be afraid to show what you are. Stand up for your beliefs, but respect others. And always look for the advice of older people because they know best.

Call me crazy, Bea, but isn’t your answer in no. 5 four things instead of one?
(Don’t mind me. I’m a little loopy today!)
Anyhow, have a great weekend Bea!

Hi Bea, again thank you for writing. You’ve no idea how much it meant to me to hear from you. Sometimes I feel so estranged from everyone. It really lifted my spirits. I enjoyed your friday five. Any plans to start your family yet? I hope so, you’ll make a great mom! ~hugs~

Bea, you’re going to make a great mother someday. You are so kind-hearted and good-spirited!

This is in reponse to the above post because you disabled commenting. You have at least one really good offline friend. Remember me? I’m pretty sure who you’re talking about and I can’t believe they are still at it. How shallow their lives must be to have nothing better to do with their time than to find someone to degrade. I know its difficult
but try to ignore them. I find that is the best way to rid yourself of unwanted vermin. Hope you are feeling better this afternoon. Looking for you on msn messenger all morning. You must be enjoying time with Patrice. Love you lots
