After thinking I am a liberal forever, I am actually a conservative.  Sigh!

After being a collector of pretty, useless things for years, I'm discovering I prefer a minimalist look in my house.  I'm finding empty space and uncovered walls soothing.

My feelings exactly.  People come to see ME, not my house.  I agree about the liberal becoming more conservative as time goes on.  Some of my latest views are decidedly un-liberal!

I have discovered that making mistakes is a path to wisdom. I didn't say I like it, but I am learning it.  ::)

I have learned that I need to be more forgiving of myself and others. I need to be tolerant and understanding. I need to count my blessings and focus on wonderful things in my life.

I am much more patient with 6th graders than I am with adults. I think adults should know more.

yes true friends are hard to come by, but the ones I have are what matters. I'd rather have my few really close friends than a hundred "friends".

I have discovered recently that my multi-tasking skills have got a lot worse- (probably still better than any mans ability though lol).
