I am ultimately only responsible for my own thoughts, deeds and actions

When I get back up after falling down, I'm a little smarter, a little more resilient, and grateful for the opportunity.

That Life does not come with instructions nor a manual to go by. I have also learned that sometimes I wish I had that ability to flip a switch and just not care - but then - I would never feel what I am meant to feel.


*squints and shakes the Magic 8 ball again*

When someone shows you who they are the first time, believe them!

This will happen many times in your life. Don't think they will want to change, they won't. I've learned the only person you can change is yourself.

I've learned that kittygrrl is right.

That my Gram was wrong...
 

Eating watermelon seeds does not make a watermelon grow in your belly.

Brown cows do not give chocolate milk.

Grandpa could not really piss up a rope.

If I cursed lightning really did not strike me down.



ps. I miss you Gram.

Sex takes the least amount of time, and causes the most amount of trouble

Remember..
 

That....
 

Love is not enough
True friends are rare
I am enough, just the way I am
First impressions aren't always what they appear to be
No one controls me, but me
Jealousy truly is evil
Anger and resentment only hurt me
Life is short
Your health is not guaranteed
Looks are not everything
Money is not everything
The only opinion of me that truly matters, is mine
I am strong all by myself
There is nothing wrong with being a strong independent woman
That broken hearts do heal, eventually
That a broken heart doesn't mean a broken person
That what someone says isn't always what they mean
Revenge is pointless

I wish these truths could be imprinted on every soul. Thank You:wine:

Expecting the worst causes a lot of stress.

I have learned that there are some people who will never understand you.

it's much better to give, then to receive

I continue to learn and practice, just let it go, and be.

Sadly not everyone has my best interest at heart....

phooey on them :sunglass:

Folk who insist they have "their sh*it together", are usually standing in a boatload of it.

Be your own guide
 

You teach people how to treat you. IF someone says something extremely negative to you or about you, don't respond. If you don't, it still belongs to them.

I have learned . . .
 

that no matter how much I may love cake, cake does not love me.

If u get that feeling something just isn't quite right it ISN'T. Question what is being told to you if you feel something is off.

Ask questions of potential dates to get to know them.

I seem to be drawn to things or want things that are not good for me.

Now just how fucked up is that? I say a whole lot fucked up! LOL! (may as well laugh about it)

I have learned to not expect anything from anyone....its far less disappointing

To leave well enough alone but I don't always do that.

character-constancy over time

Learned
 

I have learned that I should not have expectations of other people and I do mean all other people. I have lost too many relationships with friends, lovers, and family to my expectations.

Now I say what I need and if they can't handle it then they can move on.

Learning I do not HAVE to work myself outside on the weekends so hard until I drop ... I actually took an hour nap last weekend plus did not work until 8 or 9 p.m. either day.

I am hopeful ... I did fairly well yesterday.
We'll see how it goes today.

I have come to realize I am too driven when it comes to getting things accomplished and I set the bar impossibly high.

Learning how to allow myself to relax some on the weekends, take a little break and sit down.

Getting there! (I think)

delicious surprises built on solid ground.

I have learned that my gut is ALWAYS right. I still haven't learned to listen to it all of the time, but I am getting wayyy better at that.

You never get what you deserve. You get what you can negotiate. Learn to stack the deck in your favor for the things you want in life.

A lot....and yet...never enough...

NEVER enough! :glasses:

some things are worth fighting for, some are not, having the wisdom to know the difference..

You(I)can't run off to Texas or New York or Canada...you're(I'm)married!
