I feel like I have just survived some sort of marathon.

So no new year resolutions this year b/c a goal should be created by a deeper motivation than a simple date on the calendar. A few life lessons learned this year though, some banal others with a lot more importance, here are a few of them, perhaps you can skip learning these if you are aware of them from others.

1. Quality is always better in the long run than quantity. ALWAYS. I have to quit being so darn impatient and let things run its course.

2. No matter what you do the only person who you can change is yourself, so stop worrying so much. Advice given only goes so far until it turns into an intrusion of privacy.

3. Death is only the beginning

4. The only thing you can do to help a friend going through a death is be there for them. All the comforting words and distractions do nothing, take it from personal experience.

also don't try to alleviate the circumstance by softening the passing away. Yes I know she's with God and no that does not ease my pain.

5. An impending hurricane that thankfully never came is an awesome way to jump start spring cleaning, but I hope I never get that kind of jump start again.

more will come later, feel free to leave your own lessons in the comments, I can always use wise advice
