2006 In Review

We're already 2 days into the new year! Things have been so wonderfully hectic lately that I haven't had a chance to think much about the past year...

Which is why I'm proud to present a special edition of "life lessons learned" :

• I have great friends. I feel extremely lucky.
• I have a family that butts heads a lot, but we usually act in each other's best interests. That also makes me feel extremely lucky.
• Emotional confusion is no fun. But I am able to come out of situations with my head still screwed on properly, thank you very much.
• Bad things happen when I'm exhausted and pretend that I'm not. Vacations are absolutely mandatory.
• Some people are extremely bad at listening.
• When I say that I'm way too full and will never want to eat again, I'm probably lying.
• Being a relatively approachable looking woman apparently means garnering unwanted attention from all sorts of weirdos.
• Sometimes, good and unexpected things come to those who wait.
• You can never have too many pajamas.
• You never know what someone else is going through... there's always a story.

That's some of what I've (re)learned.

My resolution? To love and be loved. Sounds horribly cheesy, but hopefully everything else will just come out of that if I can get it right.

Happy new year, everyone!
