    10 Things I learned in 2002

    1.

    Sometimes life just sucks, take it and move on.

    2.

    Scarlett was right, some things are best left until tomorrow.

    3.

    Never count on someone else to look out for your best interests, if its important follow through yourself.

    4.

    Home is where you lay your head down at night, wherever that is.

    5.

    Dont even think this is the worst day of my life, it can get worse and you dont want to know how.

    6.

    Keep your greatest treasures in your heart, youll never run out of storage space.

    7.

    Give more love than you think you can, broken hearts do heal and heal stronger.

    8.

    Everyone has two families, one they were born to and one they chose.

    9.

    You can always make friends, start with Hi.

    10.

    The greatest measure is not what you have, its what you are willing to give.

    Happy New Year!!

    Numbers 8 and 9 really hit home with me. I feel really uncomfortable trying to make friends, feeling like i'll never fit in with anyone. I don't fit in with JW's, but I still have enough JW hangups to make me feel like I don't fit in with anyone else either. This forum helps so much, and your post has inspired me to keep trying. Thanks!

    I know exactly how you feel madison. I am the exact same way. Very difficult to make friends.

    Very interesting insight....

    It is easy to get down and sometimes hard to get up....

    I make friends easily but holding onto real relationships is difficult.....

    C,

    My favorite is # 10.

    "The greatest measure is not what you have, its what you are willing to give."

    I agree that the more you give, the more you will receive.

    Thanks for sharing this. Nice thread!
