It's been a whirlwind of a year, and since I never got around to deciding my goals for 2011 -- since I haven't had a chance to breathe in months -- I decided to list my favorite dozen discoveries of the year instead. And maybe I'll have better luck in 2012.
1. Beware of buying new carpet. (You end up doing a lot more than just carpet...)
2. Having an old little convertible is pretty darn fun.
3. Life with teenagers is never, ever, ever dull.
4. It is important to give when you can, and to receive when you can't.
5. It's worth buying Purdy paint brushes and a Wooster cut in brush is indispensible.
6. You might have the gift and the talent, but if you don't have the passion it's not worth it.
7. Don't take on anything new if you can't handle what you've already got.
8. 3D movies are OK in the theater, but amazing on a 3D TV.
9. Hiring movers is a brilliant idea.
10. Some friendships weren't meant to last a lifetime, but those that are are worth their weight in gold.
11. Jesse doesn't understand my vision, but he really enjoys it.
12. If something is really worth it, have the patience to wait for it.
Happy New Year!
