Thanks Kim you always bring it home. <br /><br />I think one of the most rewarding lessons that I've learned in life so far is that if you put all of your cards out on the table and take very daunting steps fearlessly, life opens up in ways that could never be expected. I think you were talking about that before too when you moved out west. The best things in life come with a gigantic leap off of a cliff.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449700636230416200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184792681608290132.post-7873296790026738732011-06-15T11:13:01.804-07:002011-06-15T11:13:01.804-07:00Fruit doesn't balance out ice cream!?!

Thanks for sharing today. A ...I loved reading this! Thanks for sharing today. A few lessons I've learned are : <br /><br />1. There's no such thing as "crying it all out." There are some things that you can still cry about years from when the actual event occurred. <br /><br />2. There are only 24 hours in a day--not 24.5 or 25 hrs. Plan accordingly.<br /><br />3. The everyday, mundane, "boring" things in life shape who you are as a person, just as much as the exciting, thrilling, testing things--if not more. <br /><br />4. Don't tell people they're going to be your maid of honor or bridesmaid for your future wedding, unless you're actually getting married and planning for your wedding! When the actual day comes and so-and-so from five years ago is NOT your bridesmaid, someone is going to be very mad!Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045069470190416568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184792681608290132.post-54903015818609368012011-06-14T11:03:17.184-07:002011-06-14T11:03:17.184-07:00I love this!

I mean, I guess as an Elementary School teacher I am biased, but even though they drive me batty sometimes, these kids breath SUCH energy and some of them just have this joie de vivre that is absolutely contagious! <br /><br />Also, being happy is the best way to look beautiful: LOVE that you brought this up. Beautiful list, thank you for sharing!<br /><br />xoh<br />dDanielle Pottberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15637659564665786712noreply@blogger.com
