I know that the older you get, the faster each day goes by.

I know that luck can change – good or bad.

I know that family and friends are everything, so love them unconditionally.

I know that scrolling the internet can be a waste of time, but I would miss all those cute animal videos. I know that a pedicure is a luxury, but I deserve to treat myself.

I know that when I cook something for someone it’s another way of letting them know that I love them.

I know that it’s a good book when I read it from cover to cover in one sitting.

I know that the best escape is a walk on the beach.

I know that if you want to write about life, go live it.

I know that if anyone mistreats an animal their punishment should be swift and severe.

I know that reading a bedtime story to your grandkids is the best thing you can share with them.

I know the love you give to your pet they give back tenfold.

I know that I should put down those potato chips, but oh they taste so good.

I know that sitting on my porch early in the morning, sipping coffee and listening to the birds inspires me.

I know that it’s important to keep in touch with friends and family.

I know that it’s important to keep your brain challenged and your feet moving.

I know that when you need help, there is no shame in asking.

I know that pizza never, ever should have pineapple on it.

I know that the answer to settling differences isn’t violence.

I know that when I wake up in the morning with my husband beside me and our little dog Zoey snuggled in between us, it’s going to be a great day.

What do you know for sure?
