Life is a giant classroom and these are some things I've learned recently:
- I have learned what "survivor's remorse" feels like
- Being a grown-up is not as much fun as you thought it would be when you were a kid (only sometimes it is)
- I think Hockey is still fun to watch even if my team loses miserably
- I love Sweet Awesome Wednesday and I am really grateful to be included in it
- I stink at playing the drums on Rock Band (even on the easiest setting)
- I do okay at playing bass guitar on Rock Band (if it's on the easy setting)
- I totally kick butt at lead singer on Rock Band (as long as I'm familiar with the song)
- I have wonderful relatives nearby for whom I am truly grateful
- There is almost nothing more touching than to hear a friend pray for you by name--especially when need prayers
- I do not deal well with large amounts of stress or change (okay, I already knew that, but unfortunately I've had a couple of downright unpleasant days to remind me of it)
- I have great friends who care enough to bring me flowers and my favorite carbonated beverage to cheer me up at 10:30 at night after they've worked all day themselves--for whom I am also very grateful
- Somehow my little sister always knows just when to call
- My siblings--especially my youngest brother--are always good for a laugh
- I need to remember that the Lord has always taken care of me in the past and trust that He will continue to do so now and in the future

Thanks for posting the things you have learned...although I am sure this isn't a complete list. :-) I appreciate the funny things and the thoughtful things amid the harder things...I think you have outlined very well what being a grown-up is like...we take the bad with the good and the good always prevails because Someone is watching out for us, as you so eloquently stated in #14.
I love how you said that the lord has taken care of you. That is truly a blessing to have faith in that. My favorite hymn is Be still my soul, in it there is a line that says the lord will direct thy future as he has thy past. For some reason it always brings me comfort. Because I know he is in charge of everything. WOW look at me ramble.
Being a grown up makes me tired, but it sure it worth it.
Love ya mucho!!!
I love hockey as well, there is something about grown men hitting each other up against a wall and starting fights that really makes me love hockey. I hate being a grownup sometimes...sometimes I tell you what. but c'est la vie! vrai?
YAY!!! I love the photos you added! I sure do love that game we call hockey!
I don't know why...but number 11 just get's to me.... :)
