2009 What I Have Learned This Year

"I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught." ~Winston Churchill

Well as 2009 comes to a close, I was thinking about what I'd learned this year. I figure it's important to keep track of these things, lest we forget....so where better than the blog? Here are my thoughts from 2009:

1. Even when you've had a chance to say goodbye, you're never ready to lose someone you love.
2. You take your life into your own hands when you crawl into a taxi in Rome.

    3. When you are studying for the bar, you should probably wrap yourself in bubble wrap to avoid the injuries sustained due to your brain being on overload (i.e. burned arm, leg scraped from the knee to ankle, etc.)

4. Nothing beats having people who love and support you when you achieve a goal!


5. Maybe I do want a big wedding after all....my friends whose relationship caused this shouldprobably have to fork over the bill when this day finally comes! ;)

6. There is something nice about being single and employed and able to jump on a plane on less than 24-hours notice for a birthday football game with the girls!
7. Even people who have nothing in common can have a great time with each other when a little dancing is involved.8. The most beautiful place I've seen in my entire life is Switzerland.....I think they might have figured out the way to live in their tiny, quiet, clean villages, and we've missed the boat trying to be bigger and better. 9. Even someone who is not a "baby person" gets insanely excited when her friends announce that little ones are on the way!

10. Maybe I really will know when the one comes, thanks to some great advice from Cousin Kevin.

And finally, the one I think is probably the most important, I've learned it matters much more to be a good person than anything else.....be it good looking or rich or well-dressed or whatever......both when looking at myself, and in looking for someone else.
