Things I've Learned

-

Some of these things I have known but refused to believe. Others I just learned this year.
That my mom has led qute a life and I am still learning about her and from her.
If you wear a heavy sweater to a overheated mall you won't last more than an hour.(Layer people layer-I knew that)
I have lived in a hovel and still made it a cozy place that people like to gather.
I can't use the broiler on the stove without supervision.
No matter what I do, I can't please everyone and the older I get the less I care.
No matter how much you get at the grocery store you always forget something.
You won't keep most of your New Years Resolutions.
Fat cells are my new best friend.
Marry someone you like as a friend because you may get stuck with them the rest of your life.
You can't always be friends with your family but you can be friends with people you never met.
I am never at a loss for something to say.
You don't have to be responsible for your online friends and that is what makes it so much fun.
No matter how much I learn, I will never want to stop learning.
That it takes 10,000 steps a day to stay fit. This means I will have to make more trips to the coffee pot.
"The Birds" by Alfred Hitchcock is still a scary movie.
Some women used to wear high heels every day all day.
If you weren't born a petite blond you probably never will be.
I like being alone with myself.
I probably won't grow old gracefully like I always said I would.
That I have a bigger thirst for knowledge about all kinds of things than I ever thought I would.
So what are some things you learned?

The Indians have a huge entrance into this site. You have to buy a ticket just to go into the area with the information about the ruins that is right below it. We didn't go into the ruins but got permission to photograph the information you see here and the ruins from below. There were 150 school kids ahead of us and it would have been several hours wait. I wanted to get to the falls that day so we opted out. I have been to Mesa Verde (pictures here: http://tinyurl.com/64cdkn ) three times and it is my favorite. We have also been to Canyon De Chelly which is another favorite and I swear in Canyon De Chelly(pronounced De Shay) you could feel the Indian spirit there. Pictures here: http://tinyurl.com/yze4ghz The tenacity of these people is amazing to say the least. It says they made ladders to their homes on the side of the mesa. What they mean is not hand made ladders but they chipped out hand and foot holds into the rock to literally climb the face of the rock. ...

Just some things I have been doing.  I don't expect anyone to understand it but it is a messy art mostly made up from junk around the house with some embellishments. I am taking a class for fun that is free on line.  Jennibelli journal workshop here . It's a ning site so you have to sign up somewhere to join if you are interested but this gal has a Youtube site with all her free videos on it. I started this project as a way to save all the old odds and ends pictures I have but it has become more about the art and allowing myself to be messy. It's all about taking old paint, scraps of paper and pulling them into some form of cohesion to express yourself.  And it's loads of fun.  Now if I just had more time in the day.
