What I’ve Learned. . .
August 5, 2008 | T. Suzanne Eller, mentoring
One of my favorite bloggers shared “What I’ve Learned” on her blog today. As I approach my 49th birthday (September 1 — send gifts and chocolate!), maybe I’m at a place that I can say I’ve learned something, too.
I’ve learned. . .
- that failure only happens when you try something new, so I’m willing to fail
- that being healthy isn’t about looking good, but living life fuller
- that kittens will always make me happy
- that cheesecake is worth the calories
- that you don’t have the people you love in your life forever, so love them in all the right ways today
- that holding a grudge is a huge waste of time
- that most small things are just that…small things
- that I’ll get there, so slow down and enjoy the drive
- that being religious can be far from what Jesus lived and taught
- that my words DO matter
- that it’s important to jump on the bed once in a while just to do it
- to walk through open doors because you never know what you’ll find on the other side
- that people that hurt you are really hurting inside
- that there are no important or unimportant people — every person has a story and every person is worth knowing
- that hanging out with family brings me joy
What about you? What have you learned? I’d love to hear from you!

I really can’t change me - only God can do that
There’s still a LOT of change that needs to happen
