Some things that I learned in 2008

*To never argue politics with friends;

*After gaining a ton of weight thanks to my pesky little brain tumor, that people are WAY nicer to you when you are thin!

*That I put up with way too much crap and don't stick up for myself nearly enough anymore;

*That I have terrible taste in men;

*That I have awesome taste in friends!

*That I am smarter than I give myself credit for;

*That just because you are related to someone by blood, doesn't mean that they are your family;

*That I am stronger than I give myself credit for;

*That I usually make the easy decision, rather than the right one;

*That there are certain people in my life that will always let me down, I just need to accept that and stop expecting anything different from them;

*That there are certain people in my life that will always be there, and that it's okay to let them in;

*That I don't need to feel guilty every time I leave my kids;

*That I am not responsible for anyone else's happiness other than my own (and my kids--the rest of you are on your own!) :)

*That I can finally tell my soon-to-be ex-in-laws exactly what I think of them and not feel about it (btw, it was WAY better than therapy!!)

*That I am so blessed to have such awesome brothers, they are my rocks and I love them so much!

*That I don't go to church enough anymore, I will do better in 2009!

*That I have serious doubts about the institution of marriage, but that doesn't stop me from having hope that someday I will have my happily ever after!

*That I spent way too many years being unhappy and I won't ever waste another one like that!
