I spent half of my day in a training learning about how to best serve the population living with HIV+ status plus domestic violence plus homelessness. I learned some new tips and I also was validated that my organization is doing well in that field.

I learned to make sure the door to the chicken pen is open before dark so that they can go up to roost. Otherwise I have to be a chicken wrestler

There are things that you don't say and keep quiet about at work.

True compromising usually works in my favor!

Seeing company arrive is nice, but seeing them leave is even nicer!

I made the mistake of feeding a mama squirrel that was starving earlier this year. She climbs all over my patio screen door, searching for a way to get more food


I won't ever do this again.

BEWARE... feeding a starving butch could have the same outcome...:giggle:

That I dislike part of my job, I don't like the prepping of mail!

How to calm a dementia resident down. How a smile can make their day better. That they didn't ask for this issue and to handle them like a fragile egg.

Thank you Dee. I always say, your heart speaks volumes about your kindness. The nurses love how much I pay attention to the needs of my residents. It's a job that I love and it will always love.

That the US still has armadas rather than fleets.

That June should bring about some of the most rewarding and happy days for Me

Don't put your work before your health.

That they sure don't make stuff like they used to!!! I just bought my self propel mower in March and it's already acting up. Torro is a good brand and I paid a good chunk of change for it, so I wouldn't think it would mess up so soon.

That I need more time off and time to myself.

That other people's negativity can only affect me if I let it!!

That sometimes I am not as good of a communicator as I think I am. :blink:

#truth

Cheers to not letting it.

Bloody mess!
 

That buying cheap razors will rip your skin off every time!

:crybaby:

that life is short...but, I already know that...

That I will never tolerate disrespect or rudeness. You can not change others- but you can take yourself out of the equation- and the flip side to the coin is there truly are good people in the world too- so you just find them.

That sometimes friends, people you know as acquaintances, etc. can lead a double life. You may have known them for years and they have always presented themselves one way, but then you find out they are a totally different person.

The basics of Typo3. And that i need to learn to stay focused on my goals...ok, I already knew that one.

2 for 2
 

Not today, but over my lifetime, two very important people in my life gave me the best advice, which both items of advice can be very useful, if applied carefully with love and care.

1) Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true.

2) Be careful in who you reveal your 'hand' to..... sometimes it's best not to show your full hand or lay all your 'cards' on the table.

Sidebar: Over time, I've learned that it's wise to be safe. To LQQK out for yourself, first and always. It's not selfish to do that because it's an act of love you give to yourself unselfishly. :bunchflowers:

That people can manipulate what you say for their own ends.
But such is life. It's important to feel empathy for those who act like this.

Deborah

Always stay focused on your goals. Or else you won't get there..

Deborah

You're only as vulnerable as your deepest secret. Not to hide secrets that can harm me lest they be used as weapons or to manipulate.

Complete honesty gives no ammo to adversaries.

To always be aware of my surroundings (still working on this one).

The grass truly isn't greener on the other side!

That being down in the dumps, hormonal, sad, etc is draining me!!!!! LOL! I need to pick myself up by my boot straps or whatever the saying is and carry on. So onward I go to venture out in the pouring rain to go grocery shopping. I HATE grocery shopping but I guess we gotta eat.....:jester::jester:

Not everyone is your friend.

That just when you think you have it bad, you realize that there is someone else that has it way worse than you.

don't cut the grass by the clothes line
