With the New Year approaching, I started thinking about the list of things I learned in 2015, and thought I should do another list for this year as well. So without further ado… here’s what I came up with.
Twenty-five things I’ve learned over the past year.
I’ve learned…
1.) How important it is to set aside time to read.
2.) To just be myself and not worry what others might think about me.
3.) Not to hold anything back when it comes to love.
4.) That random acts of kindness are good for the soul.
5.) To never give up on someone.
6.) That my girls really are as crazy as I am.
7.) That I enjoy macaroni and cheese entirely too much.
8.) To be more understanding.
9.) That going to the gym isn’t entirely overrated.
10.) That I enjoy having time alone.
11.) What it feels like to be told that you may have cancer.
12.) How hard it is to recover from loneliness.
13.) Not to push people beyond what they are comfortable with.
14.) That I have a heart for people who need to be cared for.
15.) That I like to have plenty of time to plan ahead.
16.) How having a brightly painted room, can completely altar one’s perspective.
17.) How much I love homemade chai tea.
18.) How girly I really am.
19.) That my house can be messy and I don’t really care.
20.) How a single note both good or bad can affect my entire day.
21.) How quiet my house really is with only two daughters living here instead of four.
22.) That I can’t eat tomatoes or anything spicy anymore without consequences.
23.) That really good job opportunities are extremely rare nowadays.
24.) How in just a few short months, my daughters can be married and gone.
25.) The importance of a true and trusted friend.
How about you? What have you learned over this past year or over the course of your lifetime?
