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 remembered that teenagers need praise for what is expected in adults
(i work with teenage boys, for most it is their first job, & they need to know that they are doing a good job......LOMA..i just realized that this is true for adults too!)

today i learned that a drawing salve in any black color works!!
hooray old wives tales!
everyone go get some & put it in the medicine cabinet (stings, bites, slivers, boils, pimples, infection of anykind!........maybe even a little in the bath to draw out heart/soul wounds)

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.
