the wonderful family I have been blessed with
all the life lessons I've learned--including;
Being sure of important decisions I've made and then realizing I don't know what I am talking about, and getting over the guilt associated with that.
Dealing with issues head on, instead of letting them linger and get way worse.
Assuming the best of people and giving them a chance to redeem themselves!
That forgiveness can sometimes only be possible with the help of Christ who has forgiven an eternally larger wrong than what I am facing.
That making peace isn't always about letting things go, or overlooking problems, but dealing with them correctly--and how freeing that will be.
That sometimes I talk to much about recycling and that may make people even less likely to give it a real try!
Last May
