23 Things I've Learned...

By Claire Enos

I was trying to decide what to write about this week, and thought of my birthday this past Saturday. So, I decided to write a post to celebrate the start of my 23rd year of life.

Twenty-Three Things I've Learned

1. I've learned that practice makes perfect
2. And that life isn't perfect.
3. I've learned that goals take persistance
4. And time, lots of time.
5. I've learned that my parents aren't perfect,
6. But I couldn't imagine a life without them in it.
7. I've learned that without music my life would be boring,
8. And that boring isn't attractive, at all.
9. I've learned that in order to make life interesting it sometimes calls for imagination
10. And that imagination is REALLY attractive!
11. I've learned that I can't live in a book,
12. But reading them is pretty close to perfect,
13. And writing them is even Better!
14. I've learned that caring for another life is a lot of work,
15. But that I couldn't imagine life without my animals.
16. I've learned that it takes time to change,
17. But if it's change I want, change will come: Good or Bad.
18. I've learned that rules can be good,
19. And that Rules=Freedom
20. I've learned that my Heart has an infinite capacity to Love
21. And that just because I don't want to love any more, doesn't mean my heart will listen.
22. I've learned that through it all there are two things I can count on:
23. Family and God.

Well, I didn't mean for my list to turn into a poem, but it did. And I wouldn't know it if I hadn't learned that poems don't need to rhyme in an English class I've taken in College.

I hope that you enjoyed this. It doesn't cover anywhere near everything I've learned in my 23 years of life (I have a feeling I could never write a list that long), but it covers what I found important at the time I wrote it. 

Have a great week!
