What I Learned Over the Weekend


  1. Sometimes you have to lose big to get big blessings.
  2. It takes a lot of cleaning dishes when there are 8 people living in your house.
  3. Probably, maybe, you should keep your bathroom somewhat clean. You know, just in case an extended family member has an emergency and needs to use your shower. (Hadn't cleaned my shower in I don't know how long. Embarrassing.)
  4. Not everyone in the world is cold and heartless. (Holla! to all my generous fellow Gardonian peeps!)
  5. You can squash that burning spiteful feeling down to the bottom of your chest and just love. (Hope it holds.)
  6. It's really hard to get house fire smoke smell out of clothes. (What's that you say? Vinegar? We'll try it.)
  7. The longer you stand on a tile floor, the more it hurts.
  8. I have a lot of patience. I did not think so before.
  9. Maybe I don't need as much sleep as I thought? (Nah. I don't believe it.)

Well now that you mention 'house fire' I'm going to have to go digging back through to find out what happened. Hope everyone is okay? That sounds scary!

Happy New Year
