Things I Believe*

*other than that the children are our future (obviously)

Last week when I was having a lazy writing day and was searching my archives for something old (but fabulous) to re-post instead of having to come up with something original (but fabulous), I came across an oldie I wrote about things 'I Believe' from September 2012.
You guys, I honestly don't remember it. (Hey, there's been a lot of Chardonnay consumed since then, don't judge. (I mean about the not remembering it part. You can totally judge me about the Chardonnay consumption.))
So I read it.
And I kept thinking to myself, Yes! I believe that! And that, too! and then I remembered that I was the one who wrote it.
Seriously, it's not easy being me sometimes.
So I shelved in the back of my brain and yesterday pulled it back out, not because I was having a lazy writing day, but because the list had stayed with me all week and I wanted to make some adjustments and additions. (Okay, fine, because I was being a little bit lazy. I Believe in being honest.)
I believe it's important to have things you believe in (<< snuck that one in there), and I'm not talking about God or no God, or Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, but about things that you stand firm on: have a definite opinion about. I tend to stay in the gray zone with a lot of things, but here's a list of things I'm black (or white) on.
This list been modified and added to since September 2012, so if you read that post and unlike me, actually remember it, you're safe to keep reading (and you're clearly not drinking enough Chardonnay). 

I Believe in sleep and sleeping in and staying in bed until the last possible minute.
