Another year older. In theory, I should be another year wiser, but who really knows? On the home front I've learned about mortgages, interest rates, landscaping, how to fit an ikea couch into a midsized SUV and how to be kind to my septic tank. 
I've mastered my iPhone and left the blackberry behind, I can play a movie on my Xbox and program the time into the microwave. 
I realized I don't need someone else to make me happy but its nice to have someone who can make you smile. I realized my heart is usually right and I just need to follow it more often. I learned that there are plenty of fish in the sea and that I'm a better catch than I thought I was. 
I learned that my children make me laugh  without even trying and I need to spend more time with them. I learned that they grow up so quickly and are only young for a little while. 
I learned that I need to spend more time running and cooking and doing the things that make me feel like me and less time self doubting and over thinking. 
I learned that sometimes hindsight is a beautiful thing and problems seem a lot smaller in the morning although I still hate to go to bed mad. 
I learned that a little league game can make me jump up and down as much as a major league double header and the National Anthem still makes me cry. 
I've learned that hearing about the day of someone you care about is really important and it's very easy to forget what's important in relationships. I've also learned that you can't force feelings no matter how much you want to and sometimes you have to realize that they just aren't going to come....and that's ok. 
I learned that you have to say things when you have the opportunity because it may not come again but once you say it you can't take it back. 
And finally.... I've learned that no matter what this yr holds, I'm going to be ok.
