20 surprise lessons

Some things you expect to learn. Some things you don't.

  
1.    I am learning that learning never ends.
       2.    … that puppies are not logical.
   3.    … that changing me is a whole lot harder than changing him.

       4.    … some people will always know everything... 

and it's not worth bursting their bubble.   


5.    …  that if you’re not careful, you’ll cook the same meal
every night 
with a different side.
      6.    … that men don’t speak our language.  At all.

   7.    …that self-discipline is NOT as fun as laziness. But IS more rewarding.

       




 9.          … that cleanliness is subjective.
       10.  … that biting my tongue is much more difficult than 
speaking my mind.


11.     … that praying through a difficulty is more
 powerful
than talking through it.

12.  … that whoever said “You’ll love eating healthy once you get used to it!” should be put in a padded room and strait-jacket.
13.     … that finding things to be thankful for on those “just curl up and cry” days is necessary but oh-so challenging.


   14.     … that to a puppy- my feet exist to be chew toys or pillows-  depending on her mood.
  15.  … that my reaction to others’ strengths and weaknesses is my responsibility.

  16.     … that friendship is worth chasing.
  17.     … that wearing high heels everyday might look great but is
  
insanity defined.

18.     … that admitting weakness is possible. And helpful.
19.     … to change.
20.     … that chocolate chip cookies are the greatest peace offering ever given. For real- try it out.

But the greatest thing that I am learning is that the Great I AM is the one always doing the teaching.
