Whew... what a year that was! It's amazing all the stuff that went down around the world, not to
mention in my own life. I certainly wouldn't want a repeat, and it is my sincerest wish that 2014
will be a lot better. Anyway, what I learned, in no particular order...
* "Monk" is an awesome show and I wish I would have watched it sooner.
* Although I've been there before, I still find the Tuacahn Amphitheater in St. George incredible!
* If you're truly, truly unhappy at your job, you are a complete idiot if you don't find a new one.
* Once you get a new job where you feel appreciated, you know you're actually accomplishing something, the manager(s) give good feedback, and they actually know what they're doing, you'll hit a level of job satisfaction that could never be reached had you worked in retail another 30 years!
* I really like my new job (in case you couldn't tell) and I feel so blessed that I have it!
* It is fun to "dress up" for work.
* It really is quite important to listen to your body. If something's wrong, then you need to get it looked at A.S.A.P!!!
* You really shouldn't compare your accomplishments (or lack thereof) with other people your age.
* People share waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy too much stuff online... especially Facebook.
* I totally do NOT understand the point of "Snap-chatting".
* I need to listen more to that, "Still, small voice".
* Even though I don't have any, I am worried about what the world will be like for my children. Actually, it really freaks me out.
* It is sad that with certain topics I am not allowed to say what I REALLY think, because all hell would break loose... even though others can say stuff without retribution.
* Okay... I guess there's nothing preventing me from saying that stuff, but I just don't WANT all hell to break loose.
* If you play "Words With Friends" with a former English teacher, she will totally cream your corn!
* I now understand the saying, "Youth is wasted on the young".
* It really doesn't do anyone any good to DWELL!
* I am glad that I have my Faith. It is important to me.
* It feels so nice to hold a diploma in your hand... even if it's only an Associates.
* Someone who is really boring can also be really nice.
* It is incredibly awesome when someone encourages and helps you to succeed.
And finally...
* There really is a purpose behind the "bad things" that happen. Even if you don't find out right away, there is always some lesson, experience, or outcome that, in the end, only makes things better. I know that He in charge of all things. Things do not happen by "accident". Proverbs 3:5-6 sums it up nicely.
Happy 2014!!!
P.S. I really don't care if you're offended that I mentioned my Faith. It's my blog, so I can say what I want. I also don't care that I don't care. :)
