Be a Life Pig

 

Of all the advice we wanted to give our daughters this week, as they celebrate their graduation from high school, the one I kept coming back to was  to be a life pig.

For me, this means sayng yes to life and all it offers

overstuff, overdo, overlove

Throw yourself in, get dirty, get messy, roll around  in the mud

do not sit in the sidelines and wait for things to happen

don’t be too polite

don’t wait for someone to tell you it is your turn

love people deeply and show them always

be a good friend to others and yourself

work hard and play hard

put yourself- your real self -in the middle of everything you do

be fully engaged in all that life offers

 take more than your fair share of life because that is what we are supposed to do.

 

And for goodness sake hold onto your childhood- you have only one and if you play your cards right you can be in it forever- click here for what I mean
