I know it's way too soon for me to update. Oh well here we go. The year is almost up and what has little Kristin learned? This is not a complete list but just what comes to mind at this moment.
-Not to be so naive. Although I still think I have my moments.
-Not to take your health for granted. I need to take care of myself because being sick for three months last year and getting my tonsils out was AWFUL.
-Rock climbing is AWESOME. And I also thank rock climbing for bringing Leslie's and I's friendship back. It's like old times between us!
-Be nice to others and they will not necessarily be nice back. OKAY, I didn't learn this for the first time, but I sure was reminded of it!
-Time does not necessarily heal all wounds but sometimes you just need to accept the situation and move on with your life.
-Worry about things that matter. I spend way to much time worrying about things I can't possibly change or about things that in the grand scheme of things DO NOT MATTER.
-Patience. I need to still learn more about patience. I lack patience for a lot of people and things in my life and that is not fair to anyone (for the most part!).
-That blind dates are pretty much NOT WORTH IT! I know this is a funny one. I love my friends but I do believe they might have skewed views of who or what I'm looking for.
-Be careful what you ask for. This is also something I need to consistently learn. I asked for a challenging promotion back in April... I GOT IT!
-If you buy an iPod get a WARRANTY. I love my iPod. I do but it has died on me once. My new iPod has a warranty (THANKS TO Best Buy). Got a shuffle for Christmas and thankfully if this dies, I will have no money lost! I KNOW I shouldn't have two iPods, get over it!
-I have learned that I love the XBOX 360. I know it's ridiculous BUT IT'S TRUE.
-VEGAS IS GREAT. JESSIE when are we going back!!!??
-Just because you think you know someone doesn't mean you know them. On-going learning experience. Sometimes your friends will bit you in the ass, but they don't necessarily mean too and sometimes they do!
-Learning Russian is very difficult.
-Spend time with the people you want to. That way when you look back on the things you did, you will not look back and wish you'd done something differently. Life is way to short to be spending it with people that don't make you happy. I really feel like I have learned this the hard way. My time is too precious not to be happy doing what I want to do!
-Sometimes swallowing your pride is the best decision you can make.
-Forget about all the BS in life and have a good time. LIFE IS TOO SHORT. This is also an on-going learning experience but more so this year I have especially felt this way. Get OVER IT and start enjoying what you have. IT'S PRETTY GREAT!
