Lessons


So it's been a while, and even a while since Gilberto mentioned to me that maybe I should post again. So here is anything but what I've been up too (really it's quite boring it has mostly been exams and papers and all things related), sort of...a few lessons I'm learning.

1) Grace...very important, and if grace is given to me I have to give it. And since that is the case, I've got no excuse not to give second chances, God gives them to me every day and third, forth, fifth, and sixth chances for that matter.

2) Honesty...never a bad thing. It can cut like a knife and sting like crazy, but it's always better to know the truth. Always. (This is not always the easiest to see at the beginning, over time it becomes easier to see the upside to harsh honesty)

3) Time heals all wounds. Life never gets easy (where would the fun be in easy), but time will make the rough stuff better. A good nights sleep does wonders.

4) Friends are amazing and NEVER over rated. True friends are hard to come by, so when you find them, make sure you are everything to them that they are to you. Who fits into this description may change over time, but they are always needed. The person who says they can do it alone isn't telling the truth. *side note...if you fit into this category for me, I am ever so grateful!

5) Walking - seriously under rated. Walks clear the mind, calm the heart, and settle the spirit. Let alone the fact the positive physical effects of a good walk, but the emotional side effects are enough to make you not want that bus pass and to leave the car at home! *side note again...I doubt I will give up the pass (LOL)
