September Blog Challenge: Best Piece of Advice I've Received

The best piece I've ever received is from my grandmother. Sadly, I don't think I personally have any digital pictures of her. I will have to look through my photo albums and get one though. Whenever I think of the best advice it was when I was pregnant and she said to get an "old fashioned" clock that ticks, wrap it in a blanket and put it in the crib near where my new baby would sleep. She said it reminds them of the mother's heartbeat and along with swaddling will help the baby sleep better, thus giving you more rest. I did this for about the first 6 months of my daughter's life. I felt like it gave her security feeling like I was there and I never had a problem with her sleeping.

September Challenge: My best piece of advice

Today's prompt is my best piece of advice. I honestly don't really know what the best piece of advice I have to give could be. Actually, after a few minutes of thinking it through I do have a good piece of advice: Learn to Communicate. Communication is so important in life. Every relationship you have whether it be with a parent, significant other, child, boss, co-worker is based on communication. When communication ceases or there is a kink in the communication hose, these relationships cannot thrive. Learning to communicate is not easy. It takes a lot of time and effort, but in the end is so rewarding when you have a close relationship with those you love.
