"Learned the Hard Way"

February was the month of: "Things Sheila shouldn't do -learned the hard way"

1. Don't rip your tear duct out of your eye.
2. Don't leave a giant chocolate bar in your bag for the dogs to devour.
3. Don't leave your purse and wallet in the front seat of your car over night.
4. Don't put off getting your drivers license in the state that you have lived for 4 years.
5. Don't forget to make sure that your car has valid and current insurance.

Yes, these are all don'ts that I have now officially learned my lesson from -a tough, ugly lesson for each. A tough and ugly month to say the least.

The blogger in me wants to turn this post into some positive twist kind of writing. Perhaps I would write something along the lines of "even in the midst of all the junk, there are still beautiful things to focus on" and while that IS true... I think I'm going to just be honest. (Sorry, there isn't a lot of depth here.)

Sometimes all you can do is cry. Then reflect. And eventually, laugh at your own misfortunes.

Today I choose to laugh ...and sometimes, that just has to be enough.
