8 Things Tag

It’s time to catch up on some awards and tags that have been passed along to me. This is the first of a few that I need to post.

I was given the 8 Things Tag from Join The Gossip. Leeann is such a sweetheart and we have become good friends through blogging. It’s too bad that we live on opposite coasts, because I think that we would be great friends. It’s a good thing there’s email. We both enjoy music, especially live music and that’s what got us talking. She is beautiful and one of nicest ladies around!

8 Things I Learned From The Past:
1. It is possible to get over things that you never thought you could…relationships, deaths, etc.
2. Don’t let yourself be a doormat or let people mistake your kindness as a weakness
3. Things are never perfect. I used to get these big ideas about a party/event I plan going a certain way and it never does. I’ve learned to roll with it and have fun.
4. Never say never and don’t give up.
5. Be polite and gracious no matter how someone else acts.
6. Being a grown up doesn’t mean that you have to be boring. It's okay to act like a kid sometimes.
7. Working hard doesn’t always pay off or get you ahead. I think you need luck and the right people around you.
8. Let go of bitterness towards others and certain situations. Letting the anger fester inside only causes unnecessary stress.
