Lesson's Learned 2008

Shame on me! I am so sorry I haven't updated in a while. I am going to be better. Just to catch you up a little bit I am still working two jobs. It keeps me running around ½ out of my mind but surprisingly enough I really like it, even after four months of doing it. I was promoted to a surgical nurse and LOVE IT. There is nothing that compares to it. I also "travel" with my own two doctor's and I really like that too.

God had been so good to me in 2008. I usually do a "things learned" blog every year, so I guess this is my "2008 things learned blog," even though it's a couple months late. : ) Here are some of my reflections: It brings to me an array of emotions and thoughts to think that we are who we are for a reason. I know that if we don't like something about ourselves then we can change. We have the power, the tools and hopefully the stamina. Change is HARD. Whether it's something we want to change in our lives or about ourselves there will be an adjustment period and it's NOT comfortable. If you can just make it through the akwardness, you find growth.

I learned that sometimes chances come around twice and you see them differently, be it good, better, or just different.

Through my best friends I have learned what true love is. Unconditional.

I learned that I blush. I never thought I did but I do.

I learned that I get car sick, dont ask, it's a new development in 2008 lol.

I learned that smiles are magic.

I learned to listen to my heart, and go with my "just know" feeling.

I learned it's ok to be who I am, and I love me. It's ok to show that I have faults and show my flaws, they are a form of perfection in it's self.

I learned I think TOO much.

I learned that less is more and living "the simple life" is the good life.

I learned how much I love Texas and the reason I hated it so much was because it was the biggest journey of growth and growing pains HURT!

I learned sacrifice is worth it.

I started using anti-wrinkle cream lol :)

I learned "Home is where your heart is" means your heart can be in more places than one, so can home. ;)

I learned working through fears is a fear in it's self.

These are not all of my lessons learned in 2008, just a few I wanted to take a few mins to share. I am SOOOOOOOO VERY blessed you have you in my life if you are reading this.

Thank you!

Love,
Izzi
