Lessons Learned 2012

So, I learned some lessons this year, both good and difficult.

Here is a list of things I've learned:

• Modern Family and Go On are two of the funniest television shows ever.
• Few things make me happier than good music and food.
• I don't need or want anyone in my life that doesn't need or want me in theirs.
• When you are trying to be happier, almost everything will fight against you.
• Sometimes, you just need a day when you can stay home and just be.
• These five things can make any bad day better:  
• Good food
• Coca-Cola
• Prayer
• Sleep
• A good drive

• Shopping for Christmas all year makes me happy.
• Bad drivers are easy to find.
• Letting go of bad things/situations/people is the best thing you can do for yourself. 
• My choices affect others, whether I mean for them to or not.
• Don't take people you love for granted.  Sometimes they die or leave when you least expect it.
• Do things that make you happy.  For me these are getting my hair cut, new makeup, good books, Christmas or Birthday presents for others, creating something beautiful, making dang good food and desserts.
• Don't keep putting things off.  Do them now...or at least soon.....
• Visiting the Emergency Room three times in one year is far too much for my liking.  I am not cut out for watching people in pain, especially people I love.  Note:  I do make great jokes while in the ER with you.  For instance, I was trying to cheer up my sister when they were doing Xrays and she was in a lot of pain.  I said, "Hey!  Aren't we so lucky Michael Jackson isn't our dad?!"
• Stand up comedy can make great days even better.
• I love being called Gramma.

Those are a few of the things.  I decided the list would get too long if I allowed.   Hope you are all having a tremendously wonderful Christmas season.
