Things I have Learned 1st Qtr 2008

Okay warning now - this may be more negative than positive...........quit reading now if you do not want to hear (read) it!

At the end of every quarter at work we have to review our progress - identify best practices and worst practices (with these we have to generate a plan to make changes and improve them) .... Anyway I was thinking it might not be a BAD idea to do it with my own life and the way I handle things.......so hang on for the list - I will not expound upon them in this post - but I plan to address them and figure out a solution or a way to adapt the good into my very being and possibly post that at a later date - for now it is just a "BRAINSTORMING" session with Me, Myself, and I (oh yeah and those funny voices that talk in my head)


  • 1 -No matter how hard you try you cannot please some people
  • 2 -Even when you think things went really GREAT you find out later that something was misunderstood and someone was offended
  • 3 -No matter how much you schedule a trip to include everything you want to do you can not help but feel someone - something got short changed
  • 4 -Texas is too far from Florida!
  • 5 -I do not like the unknown - I must be in Control or know the plan
  • 6 -I was not made to be a Single Person
  • 7 -I get angry when people talk about my family but that it is okay for me to do it...
  • 8 -Saving money is HARD
  • 9 -Retail therapy is only a short term answer for being down
  • 10-Darkness lurks around every corner - under every bed waiting to pounce
  • 11-I need to invite people to my Pity Parties because me, myself, & I SUCK as guest
  • 12-I have family & friends that love me and will listen
  • 13-I tend to talk a lot when I am trying to avoid a subject
  • 14-I cannot walk on eggshells without breaking the eggs and it getting messy
  • 15-Just because I think that I am doing a great job keeping my mouth shut doesn't mean that my sarcastic digs are not hurting someone
  • 16-I need to learn to shut my mouth more and listen more
  • 17-I have missed my family in Texas more than I thought I had and can't wait to be closer to them
  • 18-I am not a nice person and I do not understand why people want to be my friend
  • 19-My grandkids think I'm great.......hopefully they always will
  • 20-Change Scares Me to DEATH!!!!!!

Okay now to ponder and figure out away to turn negatives into positives.....hmmmmmmm
