| Something New
I thought I would post a thread (even if just for myself) as a reminder that each day, no matter how small, I learn something valuable... This may be difficult to find every day, but I thought it would keep me grounded and in check... Each day, unless it is completely impossible I am going to add what I have learned about me, my loved ones, my friends or just life in general... Yes its kind of along the same lines as the "i am happy for...' thread, but I really think I will get alot out of it... And I do hope you all will join in. Today I learned that my children love me unconditionally. It is something I have heard and possibly thought before, but today I absolutely believe it. I have ignored them while going through all of my craziness and yet they still look at me with adoration in their eyes...so forgiving...so innocent. Out of their love for me I believe I borrowed a little of it just for myself... Next....

Today I learned that when I am frustrated with myself for even the simplest things, I snap at others.... but if I stop and think about it and give a whole hearted apology, I am quickly forgiven... Next time I shall try to stop and think FIRST.

Today I learned that when I take care of my self physically, I am emotionally better. Today I learned that I CAN do just as much as anyone else. Today I learned that I am just a girl just trying to live a life.

| Today I learned
that I am a friend, and that others do depend on me. Today I learned that if I get out of myself for a moment the pain I may be feeling disappears. Today I learned what open-minded means.
