The things I have learned

If nothing else, as of late, I have been reminded that I am powerless over people, places and things. I have learned that people will not always listen to me, my opinion will rarely matter and that neither of these things means that I am wrong.

I have been reminded that I am human, with human strengths and weaknesses. This means that I get tired and must sleep, hungry and must eat, stressed out and must relax. I have learned how much I love my son and the time I spend with him. I have learned that I love structure more than I knew and I crave it daily.

I have also learned that people can be pigheaded, rude, cruel and stubborn yet they will not see it. I have learned too that because I can see those things in myself, I am a happier person in general. I know when I need to make an amends even if I am slow to make it.

Above all I have learned that I LOVE Fridays and I will always look forward to them.
