Point Taken: Life's Lessons Learned: Lesson #53: It Gets Better
http://point-taken.blogspot.com/2011/08/lesson-53-it-gets-better.html
Point Taken: Life's Lessons Learned. A Guidebook to My Life. (If you want one, you'll have to write your own.). Sunday, August 21, 2011. Lesson #53: It Gets Better. I'm not kidding. About any of this. How I came here? Well, that's also another long story. It's not my first foray in the South - and boy does it make me home sick for cicadas and real, old big magnolias, and old slate and brick buildings. But it is the first time in our nation's capital. And my first time "vacationing" alone. Yep, that's me.

Point Taken: Life's Lessons Learned. A Guidebook to My Life. (If you want one, you'll have to write your own.). Thursday, December 13, 2012. Lesson # 56: Kids Are Costly. 79 Cost of the new smart phone for D. 40 Monthly fee for unlimited texting. 550 Cost of security deposit I just put down for D and K's new apartment in a relatively bad part of town but close to their college. 100,000. Cost of medical bills for the heart attack D gave me last night via text. Texts I received from D last night:. Frankens...

Point Taken: Life's Lessons Learned. A Guidebook to My Life. (If you want one, you'll have to write your own.). Wednesday, February 12, 2014. Lesson #57: Recognize spring. What is that skin-taste that sends our body thrilling to the idea that spring is here. Suddenly. What makes us say, Now it is spring. When is that Now-Spring? But here, in the Valley, spring glides in like bees flitting toward freshly popped petals. From petal to petal the bees carry promise. Promise of sweet scents and color. Yep, tha...

Point Taken: Life's Lessons Learned: September 2011

Point Taken: Life's Lessons Learned. A Guidebook to My Life. (If you want one, you'll have to write your own.). Thursday, September 01, 2011. Lesson #54: Never let schooling interfere with your education. My middle son K started college a couple of weeks ago. His younger brother I started high school the same day. I stumbled out his bedroom as bleary-eyed as I was. "K woke me up at 5 am," he said. By contrast, I's response to his first day was, "It was cool.". K: I'm going to fail! I'm going to fail!

Point Taken: Life's Lessons Learned. A Guidebook to My Life. (If you want one, you'll have to write your own.). Tuesday, December 21, 2010. Lesson #37: What doesn't kill you makes you. One thing I learned in 2010 was to never say, "Enough is enough." Or, "I can't take anymore." Because for some incredibly amazingly horribly strange reason, I kept taking more. And that's something, at least. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Yep, that's me. And I'm reading this why? The One We Lost. A post t...

Point Taken: Life's Lessons Learned. A Guidebook to My Life. (If you want one, you'll have to write your own.). Tuesday, January 25, 2011. Lesson #40: Don't worry. We have a songbird in our house. C - the youngest of the Brady Bunch - loves to sing. He knows all the words to:. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Now I Know My ABCs. Bob Marley's Three Birds. House of Pain's Jump Around. Bloodhound Gang's Three Point One Four. And another song that K made up just for him when he plays with his train set. C and I ...

Point Taken: Life's Lessons Learned. A Guidebook to My Life. (If you want one, you'll have to write your own.). Sunday, February 27, 2011. Lesson #43: Easy Come, Easy Go. This year I received a surprise tax refund. I made less than I expected last year, thanks to my brief interlude being self-employed, and was pleasantly surprised to receive tax money back (rather than owe the IRS). A new camera I have been coveting? My bank account is empty again. But my heart is full. Links to this post. I have worked ...
