Lessons From The Week

So... life still has a way of teaching me things about myself. This weekend was no exception. I learned a lot, and some old lessons were revisited:

- the more things change, the more they stay the same

- I am still a strong, smart, fun woman who can hold her own in any situation

- I still make friends with fun people very easily once I push myself out of my comfort zone.

- I am also (still) a very emotional human being who feels things deeply. Joy... Pain... It all cuts to the core as much as it ever has. [wait- Isn't that called "being a woman!"?]

- it is possible to make a decision and be proud that you stuck to it, but still cry all the way home.

- loneliness and sorrow can stab you in the heart when you least expect it, and long-healed wounds still leave scars.

- you can't choose who you truly love in this world.

- some days are just good days, and some days just aren't

- no amount of Romulen Ale will make me understand men.

- no matter how many times you try to explain women to men, they just refuse to understand.

- I should set an alarm on my phone to remind me to reapply!!

- There is such a thing as getting sick from too much sun.

I think thats an awful lot to deal with in three short days. No wonder I'm currently in "Recovery Mode."

Here's hoping this week is much happier and less frustrating.
