The things I've learned of late at work and play...

  • It doesn't make me rich but it makes me happy and that's all I need.
  • 4 days of wedge christies is just as exhausting, if not more so, than 4 days of free skiing.
  • Some people in this world have a LOT of money.
  • Some stereotypes are regrettably true.
  • Women are not very good at getting paper towels in the garbage can and toilet paper in the toilet. At least in public restrooms. Kudos to the men though for doing a great job on both accounts.
  • Friends and family are pretty much the most valuable thing one can posses.
  • Some people are very rude.
  • Soccer is an awesome sport but it can sure bring out the worst in people.
  • Most of the world, takes it all too seriously.
  • Free soccer and Free skiing is absolutely awesome, most of the time.
  • Whiny adults are much more annoying than whiny children.
  • I can do anything I want, I just don't want to do the things most people think I should.
  • Babysitting grown ups is ridiculous, that it needs to be done so much is even more ridiculous.
  • I can ski as fast as the interstate speed limit!
  • Making everyone happy is impossible.
  • Staying happy even though everyone else isn't is possible.
  • A good nap is a priceless commodity.
  • True friends will reveal themselves, as will untrue friends.
  • Snow is lots of fun!
  • "Men are that they might have joy" And there is joy to be found regardless your circumstances.
  • External hard drives are not sturdy objects.
  • Too many people regret "growing up" so early.
  • I may soon regret not growing up earlier.
  • Kids are learning soccer and skiing WAY earlier than I ever did.
  • People lie...a lot.
  • Your attitude is a decision you make.
  • Doing what you feel is right for yourself is more important than doing what others think is right. Doing what He thinks is right is more important still.
  • Being able to stand up on skis is something I've really taken for granted!
  • I've had it better than most the world, and I'm very grateful for that.
  • Working for someone you don't respect is difficult.
  • Earning respect though, is quite simple.
  • Virtue is a priceless possession.
  • So are honor, friendship, respect, and loyalty.
  • Success is relative.
  • Facebook, though it has it's good uses, is destroying our society.
  • Text messaging while driving should be punishable by atomic wedgie! Or at least made illegal.
  • I'm not nearly as good a skier as I thought I was.
  • Gravity can be a best friend or a worse enemy.
  • making over twice as much money in one year during college than I did in one year out of college is messed up.
  • Plus many more but I've reached that point where I can't stand to be sitting here any longer!
