What I've learnt recently...

...I hate saying 'no' to people, and I like knowing that I'm a dependable sort of person.

...I get frustrated when people aren't open to new suggestions or ideas, and stay stuck in what they already 'know'.

...it's important to have time off every now and then when you get to stay in your pj's and play video games all day.

...about the inter workings of Genograms.

...that I'm definitely wired to be a children's leader...not so much a youth leader.

...that 10 months still isn't enough time to understand the 'why'.

...I love to talk about my family...and to talk to them even more.

...I'm capable of playing basketball (even if I'm no pro!).

...that keeping my hair straight means I get to sleep in for an extra 10 minutes in the morning.

...that no matter what else is going on in life, spending 5 minutes with the kids in Reservoir will brighten my day.

...that I love my boyfriend.

...that I'm actually getting better at writing essays for uni.

...that looking for a house is a big, and unpredictable, adventure.

...that a dog barking is extremely annoying, but a cat constantly meowing is even worse.

...that I lost 13cm this past month because of going to Curves.

...that life is absurd, but that God is good and still in control.

Hi Esther:

Thanks for your insightful observations of your own development. Thanks also for noting the many bloggers you track. Those lists give me an easy access to very interesting people.
Sorry that I did not send you my notations to add to other comments. How did you do gradewise?

Looking forward to visits by your brother and father soon.
