Keri's List of Life Advice

One of my good friends from HS passed away during finals last semester and she was the most amazing person I have ever met. Keri would smile and talk to anyone and everyone that came her way or anyone she randomly went up to. Everyone loved her and I truly mean that, you couldn't not love her! When her parents looked on her computer they found a list of life advice that she had written. She loved to write and was such an inspiration. Her parents printed off the list and had copies at her funeral for us to take so we could take it, remember Keri, and keep her alive by each day smiling and living through the eyes and heart of her! So I came across this list, had a good cry, and thought I would share this list and keep her spirit alive!
Keri's List of Life Advice
*Dream big
*Laugh often
*Hug tightly
*Listen. It will do you wonders.
*Surround yourself with people and things that make YOU happy.
*Each hard moment will pass with time
*You are not responsible for other peoples feelings
*Find people you admire and respect and let them guide you
*Take care of the body you have; you only get one.
*Savor every moment with your friends as those times will go too fast.
*There will never be enough time to get everything done, so choose wisely as to what you spend your time doing.
*You will do things you regret. Learn from them and move on.
*Most people are doing the best they can.
*There will be times in which you will have to be the big person, and it will be hard. But it's always worth it in the end.
*You're much better at being you than trying to be someone else.
*In this world, we all crave to be loved and understood.
*Every experience, good or bad, helps you to grow.
*By comparing yourself with others, it becomes easy to overlook what you have.
*Never forget who you are.

And one final thing that Keri always said, " When satan comes knocking on your door, just say, hey jesus? can you get that?"

I hope everyone has an amazing summer and good luck in life's journey!
