For starters

2008, what I’ve learned
Where do I start? This has been a roller coaster of a year. And not with just me, but the world too. So lets see if I can sum up what I learned.
Hmm...I learned to trust my gut feeling. Your the only one who knows.
I've learned to get out when it doesn't look like a good ending is heading my way. If it looks like the apple is rotting...it is. Duh.
I've learned that no matter how far down you've gone, there is someone waiting on their turn to call you and step on your head. Even when they know about your situation.
I've learned to put myself first because I'm the only one who will.
I've learned the difference between being positive and being negatively positive. Yeah, there is a big difference.
I've learned to do what you love. Everything else will fall into place.
I've learned that I AM UNLIMITED. The universe is unlimited. Whatever you want you will get it. Whatever you think about, you bring about. Read it again. And again. And again. One more time. Whatever you think about, you bring about. It works both ways.
I've learned that I choose the path my life takes. Not the economy. Not you. But me.
I've learned that I am valued. Some people do care and their the one's who count.
I've learned that the media sucks. (I already knew this but it didn't really hit me until all of the election shit.) I will never trust another news cast as long as I live. They only tell you what they want you to know. Never the truth.
I've learned that friends may come and go but family you can't replace. But I've learned that the friends who have stuck around are as close as family to me.
I've learned that there is a story every where you look. And that story is different for everyone that has seen it. But its up to you to believe it.
I've learned that the only bad days are the one's you think will be bad. Thoughts are things.
I've learned that there is no rewind button on life. Don't look back. Live for the now because tomorrow is a brand new day. You can't change what has already been done.
I've learned to block out the negative. It has no place in my life.
Never say never.
Fiction or fact...it is what you believe it is. But either way, I don't care.
I am me. Not who you see. Not what you think. I am...simply me.
And that's what I believe.
Happy New Year everyone! Lets make this one better than the last. It can be done.
