Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2013. Work on relationships with people who work at them just as hard as you do. Don’t bother trying to make a relationship work if that person isn’t willing to make it work either. And…surround yourself with positive people. Always.
Those are my answers. Now it’s your turn. 🙂 Grab the questions, write your post and link up! Mingle around to see how everyone else did in 2013. 🙂
