Tag - 35 Realizations

(I am not tagging anyone in particular, just everyone who wants to participate.)

1. I've come to realize that my chest-size ... is what it is.

2. I've come to realize that my job...is very difficult, and very rewarding. It is frustrating to have so much passion about something that you don’t necessarily have a lot of control over. I realized recently that my unhappiness is directly related to being too emotionally connected to my work. I have a great job, and I work with some really great people, and I need to keep that in perspective.

3. I've come to realize that when I'm driving... I am happy. I love to drive, I love long road trips (depending on who they are with), and I love to listen to music when I drive. It’s pretty much the only time I get to listen to music (though it is usually competing with whatever cartoon is playing in the back seat).

4. I've come to realize that I need.... love and praise. I have lived most of my life convinced that I don’t need things from other people. But I do, we all do.

5. I've come to realize that I have lost... who I strive to be. I get so caught up in what I do, that I forget who I want to be.

6. I've come to realize that I hate it when... people who have no right to complain feel like they have things so hard.

7. I've come to realize that if I'm drunk… then I shouldn’t post about it on my blog.

8. I've come to realize that money... makes life easier (not happier, but easier). Unless you have too much of it. Then it causes you to be so out of touch with reality that you can’t relate to normal people anymore. Every rich person should have to live for 2 weeks of every year as middle class (just so they remember).

9. I've come to realize that certain people... and I will always butt heads. That doesn’t mean that we can’t learn to appreciate each other, but I can’t change the fact that we don’t, and will likely never, agree.

10. I've come to realize that I'll always ... love being a mom. More than anything, ever.

11. I've come to realize that my sibling(s)... understand me better that anyone on this earth. And are the best, and most reliable, friends that I will ever know. And that you cannot take advantage of the fact that you will always be there for each other. These relationships take nurturing as well. Plus, they are my partners in crime. We have some good memories.

12. I've come to realize that my mom... taught us (me and my siblings) to be the strong, compassionate, reliable, loyal and loving people that we are. That she took pride in making sure her kids would be successful as adults. But that as adults we still need to let her be the mom.

13. I've come to realize that my cell phone... has become too important. But it makes life so convenient, oh I love it. I watched this comedian once who said that back in the old days you would have to wait hours, or days, for a call to go through, and now if you dial and it takes more than 3 seconds to begin ringing you get annoyed. The signal has to go to outer space and bounce off a satellite people, and we can’t wait 3 seconds for that.

14. I've come to realize that when I woke up this morning... I’m tired. The kind of tired that you can’t really sleep off. It’s just always there. Maybe I have Mono, just kidding. Who has time for Mono anyway.

15. I've come to realize that last night before I went to sleep... I prayed for the same things I have been praying for for a long time. But that it always makes me feel better.

16. I've come to realize that right now I am thinking... this post sounds awfully negative. I guess I am having an off day. Don’t judge me for it, we all have them.

17. I've come to realize that my dad... will always love me for me. He will always be proud of who I am and the decisions I make. He is one of the people I can relate to most in this world, and if I need anything, ever, he will be there for me. If I were to have a flat tire in Salt Lake City he would come fix it for me if I needed him to.

18. I've come to realize that when I get on Facebook... I feel like I have to have something profound to say, or news to report to post an update. But I enjoy knowing all of the little things that are going on with the people that I don’t talk to often enough.

19. I've come to realize that today... I have back problems. I have had them for a long time, and I keep thinking they will go away, it’s probably time to see a doctor. And I think I have an ulcer. :)

20. I've come to realize that tonight... I was sad when it was time to put the kids to bed (usually I am ready for bedtime). They were so adorable playing with each other today.

21. I've come to realize that tomorrow... is the day of the week I always look forward to most, because I get to spend it with my family.

23. I've come to realize that the person who is most likely to re-post this is... Sandy.

24. I've come to realize that life... is very short, and so predictable, and unpredictable at the same time. I know that doesn’t make sense.

25. I've come to realize that this weekend... I am really enjoying lots of time with the kids. But it is going by way too fast.

26. I've come to realize that marriage... is the hardest thing I have ever done.

27. I've come to realize that my (close) friends... are the people that I can talk to everyday, or twice a year. No matter the time between visits, we always pick right back up where we left off. And we always have 50 things to talk about. I love to be with people that you can say anything around, and they understand and agree.

28. I've come to realize that this year... is hopefully going to be a big year for me. I am ready for changes.

29. I've come to realize that my ex… anything ex helps you learn and grow. These are the experiences that help you realize what you do and don’t want from situations. And then you move on to new adventures.

30. I've come to realize that maybe I should... try new foods. There are a lot of things that I am certain that I hate, but I never remember trying them.

31. I've come to realize that I love... chocolate. I could eat it every day, 5 times a day. I may have an addiction.

32. I've come to realize that I don't understand... constantly unhappy people. People who can change the things that make themselves unhappy, but choose to sit on the a$# and do nothing about it.

33. I've come to realize my past... has been great, totally worth the hard work. It has gotten me to where I am now.

34. I've come to realize that parties... with family and friends are the best way to unwind and rejuvenate. I look forward to them, have fun at them, and am re-energized after spending time with loved ones.

35. I've come to realize that I'm totally terrified... of big change. I am such a creature of habit. I like to know what lies ahead. I am not a risk taker.
