The past couple of months have been nothing if not an education for me. It’s been devastating, sad, fun, amazing…and definitely full of surprises. I’ve learned a bunch of things that I hope will serve me well going forward….
- Sometimes what you think you have isn’t at all close to the reality of what you actually have.
- There’s very little that can’t be fixed by liberal applications of gin, tonic water, and limes.
- Sadly, the same cannot be said for Tennessee Whiskey.
- Of course, there’s a price to be paid for being a lightweight when it comes to drinking.
- Sometimes, beautiful eyes and a killer smile are just too much to pass on.
- Being treated like a priority instead of an option NEVER gets old.
- Sometimes, when one door closes, another really does open.
- The old rules no longer apply. This is a very good thing.
- Sometimes, you need to allow others to willingly do for you what you would willingly do for them.
- There are those who bemoan what you’re not. These folks are not worth your time and energy.
- Those are those see and value you for what you are. Cherish them for all you’re worth.
- Sometimes amazing sneaks up on you.
- Blondes really do have (and are) more fun.
- It’s easy to get caught up in your own history. Then you realize that someone comes along who has an even more eclectic and unusual history than you. This is a good thing.
- Every now and again, everything you need and want is right there in front of you.
- Perspective is everything.
- When you’re open to possibilities, once in awhile something comes along that absolutely blows your mind and defies description.
- Did I mention that a well-constructed Gin & Tonic is next to godliness?
- You can tell a lot about a person by the way their family relates to them.
- A dream is not something to be taken lightly.
- Finding someone who believes in that dream even more than you do is pretty freakin’ awesome.
- Sometimes you really don’t need to ask why.
- Sometimes just accepting it for what it is and letting the past go is the smartest thing you could possibly do.
- Anyone who says sex is highly overrated is doing it wrong.
- Wounds heal. The key is to not let them become scars.
- Losing 10 pounds is easy when you get your head straight.
- A Gin & Tonic is a wonderful source of Vitamin C. And gin. Ain’t no way I’m dying of scurvy.
- Amazing really is.
- Too much of a good thing seldom is.
- I hope that I never work another 8-5 job as long as I live.
- I don’t yet know how I’m going to do it, but I’m going to make a living writing.
- Being treated well NEVER gets old.
- Being treated coldly and callously really, really sucks.
- Honesty and integrity never grow old.
- Kindness never grows old, either.
- Karma can be a real bitch. It can also be pretty freakin’ amazing.
- What goes around really does come around.
- When you spend your time listening to the wrong person for the wrong reasons, bad things can happen.
- When I can manage to stop letting my pride get in the way, some pretty amazing things happen.
- There are those who see you for what you can do for them, and there are those who see you for what and who you are. It doesn’t take a Ph.D. to figure which is healthier.
- Tanqueray and Grey Goose are gifts from God (if She, in fact, exists).
