It’s been a rough, rocky week.
Especially after coming home from a weekend that didn’t end quite as I had expected. I thought I would be refreshed and renewed, but instead I am emotionally drained and have more uncertainties than when I left.
It feels a little like this...
As difficult as it has been, though, this week has brought me a few of those little life lessons. Here is my list of things I’ve learned this week:
Sometimes no matter how hard you try,
you will never get it right with some people.
You have to remember that even if THEY don’t know it or act like it,
they aren’t any better than you.
*****
Even though I’ve come a long way over the past year,
I still have miles to go in the self-improvement department.
It’s ok to have a step or two backwards,
just don’t stay there like a deer in headlights or you’re likely to get run over.
*****
After walking through the quiet dimness of an art exhibit,
I remembered how much I like art even though I’m not knowledgeable about it. My current favorite is Pissarro.
This one was my favorite on display.
*****
If you’re praying
and it seems like your prayers aren’t being answered,
remember that Garth Brooks song:
“Sometimes God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.”
Country boy knows a little truth.
*****
Most of the time,
when someone has ticked you off,
they either don’t know it or don’t care.
So all that energy you’re wasting being ticked off?
Don’t bother.
*****
Holding a newborn baby
can cause even the most guarded of hearts to become softer around the edges.
Maybe even in the very middle, too.

Those are my tidbits for the week. I am off to Bloggy Boot Camp Saturday! I’m really quite nervous about being in a room full of fabulous, experienced bloggers. But I am hoping to come away from it with tons of new information and maybe even a bloggy friend or two.
Wish me luck!
