Thoughts and mementos from 13 year old RisibleGirl
Refining qualities I will cultivate:
  • I will practice modesty by trying to dress by the dress code my parents set for me (even though I don't want to).
    ::older and wiser RG says:: always have to add my .02, eh?

  • I will be an example of tolerance by trying to understand people's problems and put up with my brothers and sister.
    ::older and wiser RG says:: still working on the putting up with my brothers and sisters bit....

On 11/23/73 I gave a talk in church called "You get what you expect".
::older and wiser RG says:: wow- I wish I had a copy of that talk because it would be interesting to read right now. I *still* subscribe to that philosophy- and am surprised that I gave a talk about it when I was 13.

Qualities in my father I would like to emulate: I would like to have patience (sorry Dad, I didn't seem to get that lesson. I do have your great pruning skills though!)
Qualities in my mother I would like to emulate: I would like to have a good sense of humor (thanks Mom! I think I picked that one up!)

Answers to situations I might come across:
  • If someone suggests, "oh, you don't have to call your mom. We won't be very late, " I will answer: Last time I did that, I got a one month restriction.

  • If someone says to me, "Lie about it and you won't get into trouble, " I will say: I've tried it before and it didn't work.

::older and wiser RG says:: sounds like my parents were on to me.....

I haven't pulled out the contents from the envelopes in the book yet. More 13 year old angst to come.....
