Parents

This post is dedicated to my parents. Sorry if sume of the wrdes are missspelled. I’m still a littel high off of all the cleening supplys. I kid.

Kristen and I spent a good portion of the day unpacking things and placing them where they are supposed to go. Well, actually, I’m not really allowed to put things up because I don’t know where they are supposed to go and therefore the places I put things are wrong. So I watch things being put up. Or, if I did put something up, I watch it get moved to where it is supposed to go. As a result, I cleaned. I cleaned like I was taught. Elbow grease, deep down, every little bit of dirt, clean it until its clean.

My mom and dad taught me the value of hard work and I feel good today knowing that the places I cleaned are extremely clean. I really wanted to quit and just relax on this beautiful Saturday, but I have been shaped by a phrase my mom taught me when I was very young and I have never forgotten. It has probably had the biggest impact on the drive I have.

When a task has once begun, never leave it until its done, be the labor great or small, do it well or not at all.

Seems so simple, but I cannot fully convey how this one phrase has molded much of who I am.

What are some things your parents passed on that continue to rock your life?
