I'll admit it. I love Hallmark movies. I have loved them ever since I watched some with my Grandma. Even though they might be sappy, cheesy, and you can always know what's going to happen. (My mom said that she heard Rush Limbaugh talking about the plots of Hallmark movies. They are always very similar)!

I was thinking the other night about some of the things I've learned from watching these movies. Though they might be cheesy movies, there are still a few things I've learned from Hallmark movies.

Family: In most of all Hallmark movies I've seen, I can tell that family is very important. The people do fun activities with their families which help to bring them closer together. Family time is important.

Love: I've learned from many a Hallmark movie that true love does exist. Many people seem to not believe in that these days, but I really think that "the one" for each of us is out there.

Christmas: I've learned that Christmas is really a magical time of year. There are so many amazing miracles that occur during the Christmas season.

Pets can unite us; I can think of plenty of movies where pets bring people together. Animals are very intuitive so they can recognize what people need and I think that is really fascinating.

Share your talents; We all have so many talents, some we might not even know about yet. If we share our talents we can accomplish so much more and bring hope to others.

Be yourself: We will have so much more fun in life if we be ourselves. The people around us will see who we really are and love us even more. We can also discover more of our talents when we are ourselves.

Create memories; All throughout the year we should create fun memories with our family and friends. As we look back in a few years, the things we will remember most are the fun times we shared together.

Enjoy Life: We will have so much more fun and be so much happier when we are enjoying life. There are so many awesome things to experience in this life, we just need to take the time to do and enjoy them.

See the good in others; In today's world it seems we often judge others from what they are doing wrong or how they are different from us. I think it is very important, especially coming from some of the experiences that I've had, to recognize the good in others.

Bring Joy; People need lots of happiness and hope these days. If we can be the ones to give that joy to them, we will be bringing joy to ourselves.

It is never too late; In this life we sometimes miss out on a lot of opportunities and we can become discouraged because we think it is all over. I have learned multiple times in my life that it is never too late to change the way we want to live our lives.

Dream Big; We all have dreams that we want to achieve in our lives. Sometimes I think we convince ourselves that we can't accomplish the dreams and goals that we've set for ourselves. I think it is very important to dream big and work hard to complete what we want to in our lives.

Those are a few of the many lessons I have learned from watching the Hallmark channel. I truly believe if we look for lessons or teachings from different experiences in our lives, we will find them. There are so many important things for us to learn that will help us become better people. Comment below what your favorite Hallmark movie is.


 Always have hope,
