I asked my friends for Lessons they have learned:
Susan said: “Never move a baby grande across a hard wood floor.”
and I asked for some photos to illustrate this.
Leslie said: “Few men can wear a pair of jeans like Bruce Springsteen and Tommy Lee Jones.”
and Kathy asked for some photos to illustrate this.
Send me YOUR lessons – and your photos!
From Kathy:
“I learned that listening to others is great, however, hearing comes from the heart. Very important for our family as Mom’s Alzheimer’s is moving into it’s final stage.”
Today I learned, from the blog of my wonderful yoga studio*, these alternatives to resolutions, quoted and paraphrased here
1. Instead of focusing on change, place focus on what is already feeling right and working well in your life.
2. “Instead of having specific goals … try the idea of a theme. One theme could be healthy living or another could be compassion. “
and described much better and discussed in more detail in the blog here: Alternatives to The New Year’s Resolution
What are your themes?

Steve, who is the appointed “Tail Twister” for the local Lions Club, learned that shorter intros make for funnier jokes.
I hear that he’s killing them with his humor.
Three lessons that my friends have learned recently:
Gail: “Bankers no longer are for the little guy. Where’s George Bailey when I need him.”
Susan: “I learned not to be afraid to let someone hug me.”
Patti: “I really can’t make long range plans. things don’t happen as you plan.”
What have you learned?
Nate learned, in just one semester, not to approach college as a continuation of High School. The work is different, the expectations are different, the environment is different.
How long did it take you to learn this? Was it more than one semester?
I thought this little green stick thing at Starbucks was a stirrer (and it kind of still is) until I saw someone do this with it and I learned that it is designed to fit perfectly to close the sipping hole and make this a no-spill top!
Go ahead. Tell me. Did you already know this???
Dott learned that when you move you need to pack a bag for a few days, as though you were going on a trip. That way, you can actually find the stuff you need while you unpack!
Lava taught me to not worry! It’s this easy! Look!!!
I learned a new phrase! Thanks, Alexis, for thinking of me. I guess.
