Lessons I've Learned...


1.  Listen to your gut.

2.  Speak up, don't worry about the conflict, what may result from not sharing could be much worse.

3.  Get on the scale every morning.  Weight has a "weigh" of creeping up on you.

4.  Exercise ever single day will keep depression away.

5.  Sometimes life just sucks.

6.  Never ever drink more than one martini.  Never.  (I won't ever  even have one again)
     (6b.  Vodka is eeeeeevil)

7.  Not all mothers practice unconditional love.  Not all fathers either.

8.  Be true to yourself.

9.  Perfection is something that can ruin your life.

10.  Never play the "jeep" game with my husband.  (you know that crazy VW game where a person hits another person in the arm and yells the color?  My daughter said you don't see enough VW's so she prefers to do it with jeeps.  My left arm is black and blue from this game on Saturday ~ i bruise easily.)

11.  Take time daily to appreciate the little stuff.

12.  Over-use I Love You

13.  Prayer works

14.  Friendships should be nurtured and cherished and never taken for granted, for each and every one is precious.

15.  Green Beans can be steamed in just a couple of minutes

16.  "You're gonna miss this" pretty much can apply to every phase of life

17.  Laughter does a body good

18.  Handwritten notes are special and important and we should all write them more often

19.  Reading is better than television any day

20.  You can never hold a child too much

Suzann:
I agree wholeheartedly. And, I NEVER play any game where anyone gets to punch me. I'd just be askin' for it!
Have a great day.

I agree with so many of the items on your list!

To me, though, GIN is the evil one. Hangover every single time.

Thanks for the prayers today. I am so exhausted that I can barely type, but I missed my bloggy friends so much! I'm off to bed shortly; hard to get back onto a day shift schedule after working so many nights in a row!
