I've learned that it's a lot easier to ride the horse in the direction it's going.

I learned that if you forget to put the water in the little instant noodle thingys...... They WILL burst into flames! :fireman:

not to get my hopes up high about anybody. i've been let down too many times that i care to even describe.

:vigil:

WIHL...no matter how old my kids get..no matter how successful they are in their jobs and lives they will always need/want my guidance and help. And no matter what I will always be there for them. A mothers/grandmothers unconditional love.

I've learned that honoring my need for quiet alone time makes me a better human when I do interact with others.

I am putting this out there in all honesty... I have learned I will make some dumb/impulsive/seemed like a very good idea at the time mistakes and I may just have to limit to which areas of my life I make them. Right now I am pondering if.... maybe just maybe I could limit them to errors in judgement to involving sex. With safer sex practices in mind, I maybe I can afford to be a bit loosey goosey. I'd rather make better choices financially, at work, with my parenting and health. Save the stupid shit for sex.

I am just saying...

when i put my mind to something... i do it. i have failed at many attempts in my life... however, when i dust myself off i take another look at things from a different perspective.

i have 3 goals for 2012, #1 is passing the exam to earn my personal training certificate. i am confident with my studies; i know i need to step it up; do some online testing; then some hands on practicals.

i Can and will do this!

i have learned that expectations are premeditated resentments.. and that when i can keep myself from getting wrapped up in them, i am MUCH muchier happier. :)

i have learned it's a really bad idea to look at clothes when i'm sposed to be shopping for shoes. :|

I just wished aloud for a shroud (out of some mock desire for a little privacy which I don't really need) and E, while building me a gorgeous bookcase asks, 'a Shroud of Turin?'

It's so sexy dating a lapsed Catholic! (I learned)

...and i'm less likely to be disappointed. it's a win-win... now if i could just remember to do it.... :|

What I learned (this week)....not to leave a box of mini cheesecakes in the house when mom is visiting....she knows they are loaded with a bunch of stuff that makes her very sick....but half the box is gone anyway. And I learned not to automatically think the car might be beyond fixing when it took less than $4.00 to solve.... I learned to be humble ... :

lessons......
 

As a culture we mark the New Year as a chance for new beginnings. We do this once a year, and it's important to see that opportunity and grasp it. But in reality we have that opportunity every day, every moment, and with each breath we take. The chance to recreate our lives, and make life more beautiful and true to ourselves. I had to get slapped really hard to get this one. Maybe, someday, I will be able to say thank you. For now, breathe and recreate is the best I can do........

things i have learned....

you cant ignore that little voice

you cant compromise who you are.

that i need to widen my circle of friends

that i am better off than a lot of other people--meaning i am lucky to have food,shelter,and people who love and care about me.

some things/people just cant change no matter how hard you try or will them to.

A couple random things that have had the most positive ripples...
 

To move to the beat of my own heart, to be as forgiving of myself as I would for another, that unlearning is as important as learning...
