Life Lessons...


Today is my birthday and with birthdays come reflections - reflections of where I’m at in life and where I want to be in the next year or so.   
Here are some of the lessons I’ve learned along the way…
I’ve learned – every day should be lived like it’s happy hour.
I’ve learned – to laugh often, at both myself and others.
I’ve learned – not to take things too personally because some people are just asses.
I’ve learned – you should always follow through on a dare – at least once in your lifetime or until such time as you get caught.
I’ve learned – some people won’t be there for you when you think they should be.  It’s these disappointments that make us stronger.
I’ve learned – what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
I’ve learned – swearing can be good for your mental health.
I’ve learned – I’m my own best friend.  I have to be – my real friends are crazy.
I've learned - if you lick a light pole in the winter, in Canada, your tongue will stick to it.
I’ve learned – my family may love me, but sometimes they can be a pain in the ass.
I’ve learned – to say NO and not feel guilty about it, when to pick my battles and when is the best time to simply walk away.

Love these lessons! They're all so true. It's a shame it takes us so long to figure them out.

Happy Birthday!
