Relationships

Coasting...
I have been coasting in my personal relationships I’m not giving more than I’m taking.

A relationship does not protect itself; it requires active work and humility. A way of life does not protect itself; it requires discipline and attention

WHAT HAVE I LEARNED TODAY? STEER, DON'T COAST.

Dreams

I think when we grow older we give up on dreaming, we set goals that we feel are attainable so we won’t be disappointed. Well I have dreams that I have set up as goals so I can achieve them.
WHAT HAVE I LEARNED TODAY? Don’t stop dreaming!

I love paper

I didn’t learn this today. I love paper. All my life I’ve had a love affair with paper. As a kid I was always the teacher and made up forms and liked grading them, as a teenager I was into everything but paper, but as an adult I love photos, scrapbooking, card making and creating documents. I Like buying paper, I like looking at paper… anything paper… there It’s out!
WHAT HAVE I LEARNED TODAY? It’s ok to love paper.

Homework in my house

School has started, supplies are in backpacks, the daily routine started, and homework is sure to follow... after going to my kids school open house and meeting their teachers, I realized that my kids do their homework but I don't check to see if its neat, complete, if they really understood what they were doing... this will change today...they will do their homework at our kitchen table where I will be watching closely. WHAT HAVE I LEARNED TODAY? Be constant in training your kids for life.

Friendship

It’s not about quality it's quantity. I invited 15 people to my craft party, only 3 rsvped, 2 actually came. I had as much fun with the 2, proably more fun then if my house where full of people.
WHAT HAVE I LEARNED TODAY? You really only have a few friends.
