Lessons I've Learned Recently
1. I have a lot of stuff.
2. I don't use most of that stuff on a daily basis.
3. Despite the fact that I don't use all of my stuff regularly, I have a strong emotional attachment to it and can't get rid of much of it.
4. Lots of stuff is heavy.
5. I hate moving.
6. I love a short drive to work.
7. More sleep is good.
8. The living room is the most important room in the house for me. Once it was arranged and de-cluttered, I lost my will to keep unpacking.
9. The loss of unpacking mojo may have been linked to exhaustion.
10. A labyrinth of boxes makes a house seem like a playground.
11. Children value different things than grown-ups. What I thought was important to my girls wasn't what they thought was important. I've learned a lot about my girls in the last two weeks.
12. The most important thing we have is each other.
13. I never want to commute more than 15 minutes again in my whole life. I didn't realize how tired I was until it was over.
14. Full speed is not a natural speed for me.
15. I need to practice being more grateful and less annoyed when people are trying to help me and I don't agree with how they're doing things.
16. I'm not like other people and I shouldn't expect them to understand me. If it hasn't happened by this point in my life, it's probably not going to.
17. Never, ever stand within 35 feet of a large chain pulling huge, overgrown bushes out of the ground via a truck.
18. I need to do the things that make me feel happy and not the things that others think are the most important.
19. Flowers in the pots outside my front door are a priority for me even if others think I should unpack kitchen boxes.
20. People who are going full speed rarely listen to directions if they think they know more than you.
21. Frustration is easy to hide if you're exhausted.
22. Love manifests itself in different ways. How people show love is as different as the people themselves.
23. A house without t.v. really is as blissful as I'd imagined it would be. Bliss ends today between 1 and 4 when Optilink comes.
24. Life is short. Time is fleeting and I'm another year older. Happy (belated) Birthday to me! It was a miserable day. I should have known better than to do something else significant close to my birthday. I made the same mistake 8 years ago when I got married.
25. Happy (one day late) Anniversary to me (and Chris)! I got him a house. He got me a card but he's helping to pay for the house too so I'll let that slide.
I'll be back soon. With Optilink, we'll have Internet too. I do like that. It would help motivate me if I didn't feel like I was talking to myself here. A note every now and then wouldn't be remiss.
