Some Things I've Learned...

It has been a rough week. But I feel like I have learned a lot about myself... here are some things I have been pondering...

1. We have to take the good with the bad in life and roll with it… and try to focus on the good and not dwell on the bad.
2. Patience is something I don’t have and am working on.
3. Do not compare yourself to any other person… ever.
4. Harry Potter, Jack Bauer, Sex and the City, and caramel popcorn make me feel better… weird combination, but true.
5. John Mayer’s “The Heart of Life” and “Stop This Train” are amazing and incredibly relatable for me.
6. I am looking forward to a much needed vacation.
7. My husband is absolutely amazing. He makes up for my lack of patience and has so much love for me. He also loves my parents, which really touches my heart.
8. Heavenly Father always provides a silver lining.
9. Life is short.
10. It is heartbreaking to see a parent cry for the first time…and not be able to do anything about it.
11. I will miss my grandmother. She was strong, insightful and loving all in her own special ways.
12. Take things one step at a time. I have learned that I can’t plan out my entire life on a calendar. I need to just let some things happen to me. All my life I have done everything the exact way I am supposed to… and I think it is okay to say “what the hell” once in a while (Thanks, Avril Lavigne... lol).
