What I've Learned This Week: Week 12

Hello, everyone! It's officially one week closer to Christmas and I'm really excited! I get my soldier back in two weeks and I can't stop thinking about it! But of course, I have enough material for this post! Enjoy!

I LEARNED THAT...



1. ... sometimes you have to face your fears to get your desired results. (It was oh-so worth it by the way.)

2. ... stress is a powerful thing and finding time to relax is key.

3. ... speaking your mind might get you in trouble but it's better than being taken advantage of. (at least in my case it was.)

4. ... reading truly is my escape and I prefer it to social media. (But I love blogging, of course.)

5. ... a watched pot never boils. I could use a bit more patience.

Well, that wraps up this week! Hope you all have a great weekend! I'm off to see the Rockettes tonight! I'm super excited!

What are you doing this weekend?

What I've Learned This Week: Week 11

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I hope that you all have a wonderful dinner and time with your family and friends!

I normally do these posts on Fridays but I'll be traveling all day tomorrow and won't have time to blog. So here is one of the few times that I break a chain. Enjoy!



I LEARNED THAT...

1. ... family sticks together and really does have your back, even when times get tough.

2. ... watching Kelly's milestones in life are really important and make me happy.

3. ... sometimes you have to do what's right, instead of what's easiest.

4. ... being grateful for what you have is extremely important.

5. ... if you look very closely at the little moments, you'll see that's when people show that they really care.

That's all I got for this week! Tune in next week for the next post!

Once again, Happy Thanksgiving!

What I've Learned This Week: Week 9

Hello, everyone! I hope that you're having a wonderful week and enjoying some cool weather! It's significantly dropped in temperature where I'm at and I'm loving it! I've also had a really good week and I'm excited to share what I've learned with you!

I LEARNED THAT... 


1. ... if you want or need something, just say it. It doesn't help to hold it in.

2. ... change can happen in an instant and you just have to roll with it.

3. ... a simple "thank you" can mean so much.

4. ... trying new things can be really fun.

5. ... I need to just live in the moment.

That's all I've got for you this week! If you have anything you'd like to share, comment below! Have a great weekend!

What I've Learned This Week: Week 7

Welcome to another edition of What I've Learned This Week! Ironically, this is week 7 of the series and it is 7 weeks from today that my husband comes home on leave!

THIS WEEK I LEARNED THAT...



1. ... even though failure is hard, it really does help shape who you are. You can either stop trying or you can try again. I'm choosing to try again.

2. ... sometimes you have to cut people some slack. They're only human.

3. ... you shouldn't sweat the small stuff. If you do, it suddenly becomes the big stuff and becomes unnecessary stress. And trust me, no one wants that.

4. ... I'm slowly turning into my mother and I'm really happy about that, even if it was unintentional. I hope to be just like my mom when I'm older.

5. ... you can either let memories of past mistakes haunt you or you can learn from and laugh about them. It's all about perspective. Plus, most other people don't remember those mistakes anyway.

This week has definitely been an eye-opener but a good one, definitely.

What life lessons did you learn this week?
