Sunday, August 10th, will be my 47th birthday. Today I started reflecting on all the life's lessons I have learned so far.. so I decided to make a list of idioms, clever sayings and just plain truths that represent where I am developmentally. Some might not agree with any of these, some may say WTF? is she talking about, and some of these lessons may change as I age and mature. Either way these are some big philosophies that shape my thinking every day. I will probably add to this list until Sunday. If anything... this list is some tangible advice for myself to hold onto when times get uncertain.
