You know how they say that the only certain things in life are death and taxes? Well, I think that a few more things are inevitable in this life:
Most puppies will look cute;
Kids will be natural helpers if you can stand to let them;
Growth and decline in their natural order, both sometimes sad;
When a wife/mother completes something, the natural forces in the home embodied by spouse and children will unite and conspire against her to undo what she has labored to do;
Few things remain 'done';
Change is constant;
If you were born, you will die;
Kids/dogs will make messes and get dirty;
Love is not a destination, it is a journey;
The purpose of living is to learn;
We will all make mistakes;
And last but not least for now, life will go on.
