365.

In the last 365 days, I’ve learned a lot, in no particular order of importance: 

I’ve learned that I have zero patience but I am working on it.  


I’ve learned I have a truly genuine, real, human husband. A husband who has flaws, and doesn’t maybe do everything I want him to do but he means well and he loves me to no extent.


I’ve learned a good wardrobe with quality pieces takes you further than any trendy pieces will.
I’ve learned you don’t need makeup to feel pretty but it starts with yourself and continues with diet and exercise.

I've learned (or still am trying to learn) that work doesn't define success.  


I’ve learned you don’t need to stay friends with people because you think they may need you. People change, people grow apart and the people that matter will love you whether they can offer up no more than just a shoulder to cry on.  Friendships should be never tit for tat.  


I’ve learned that family can annoy you, frustrate you, disagree with you but if you nurture the relationship - when it’s worth nurturing - you can develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for each other.  It takes effort.  

And I’ve learned than by no way can you have your past define you. But it’s also good to work out your thoughts on your own time - for me that’s through putting a pen to paper.

I can feel 33 is going to be a good one.  And I am taking my new knowledge with me.
