and what did you learn from the old one?<\/p>\n

I’m sure I could come up with a super long list. But here is a short one off the top of my head.<\/p>\n

-I learned that trying new things is always a good thing- and while they may not always work out, it doesn’t mean they were wrong.<\/p>\n

-I learned I will do anything for my kids. Like leaving a place I adore to bring them back to a place they adore.<\/p>\n

-I learned that the time with my kids is fleeting. And so if it means I miss a party or two to hang with them, I know I will never ever regret it.<\/p>\n

-I learned that parenting a strong willed child isn’t easy. But it really shouldn’t be. I never want to go through life with blinders on only living up to the status quo.<\/p>\n

-I learned that taking lots of trips away over the past 16 years has been the best thing EVER for my family. I will cherish these memories so much.<\/p>\n

-I learned that change is hard- but an awesome growing experience.<\/p>\n

-I learned that people you trusted can be cruel. So embrace the quality people in your life.<\/p>\n

– I learned that on the flip side that there are people I didn’t expect to like and trust and I totally do.<\/p>\n

-I learned that I can really really miss neighbors I didn’t get to spend enough time with- both here and in NC<\/p>\n

-I learned that having a teenager is fun- having two is even better<\/p>\n

-I learned that I would love to go through my pics and pull out the best of the best of ’13. But I took so many I am not sure I will.<\/p>\n

And so- starting my 365-2014- my first shot<\/p>\n
