Yes, I “borrowed” the title of my blog today from a Wally Lamb book, but after the month that I had, I thought I deserved to take a loaner on such a great title. If nothing else, I probably learned more life lessons in one month than I have in the last decade. Lucky you, you get to read some of my deep thoughts…and here they are:
- Approval from the morally bankrupt is meaningless, at least to me
- If you aren’t seeking someone’s approval, then you can’t be disappointed
- We cannot direct the winds, but we can adjust our sails. Profound, but I can’t take credit for it – I saw it painted on the wall of a hospital room – basically, we can’t change people or circumstances, but we can control how we react to them
- A family can be better and stronger without certain people in it
- If you wait long enough, anything can happen
- People who are set in their ways cannot change even though I believe change is possible if you want to badly enough
- Doing the right thing can be hard, but it’s easier when you have your sisters with you
- Sometimes, knowing that you did the right thing has to be enough
- Don’t put off until tomorrow, what you can do today – Moms are right about this
- I’ll never be someone who misses an opportunity – it brings me some semblance of peace
- Sometimes, you have to know your limitations. I learned mine on Friday when I did the Zombie Room Escape – we didn’t escape and I am terrible at logic problems. It was fun though and the Zombie was loud, but very nice
- You can age gracefully
- It’s ok to fall asleep at a play or a musical – but it is a little embarrassing when you are with a very geriatric crowd and they aren’t the ones taking the nap
- West Jet is just more fun than Air Canada – not profound, but true
That’s all for today’s deep thoughts. Today, I am grateful for my family, friends and frousins. Nothing major, just that. I do have to start doing some research into energy/fatigue – I’ve been completely exhausted this last month, and I need to do something about it. I’ll be researching Dr. Oz’s solutions and more – if I can stay awake to do it.

I thought you borrowed the title from a Spandau Ballet song.

I’m so cheesy that I’m surprised that I didn’t borrow it from them!
