"If your life is an endless series of ups and downs, consider a more supportive bra." --Maxine

You get two Reverb10 prompts at once today.  I decided to take yesterday off.  It's a good thing, too, because I have a feeling these are going to be short.

December 16 – Friendship-- How has a friend changed you or your perspective on the world this year? Was this change gradual, or a sudden burst? (Author: Martha Mihalick)


I don't think I'm any different this year from the last.  I'm still cranky, crabby, funny, tired, and judgmental with a black heart. Nor has my perspective on the world changed at all. It's still jaded & cynical, as usual.  But, my friends this year have taught me the joy of laughter.  I didn't realize it until writing previous blogs, but laughter is pretty darn important to me and a big part of my life. 

December 17 – Lesson Learned-- What was the best thing you learned about yourself this past year? And how will you apply that lesson going forward? (Author: Tara Weaver)

The best thing I learned about myself this year was-- I can put up with a large amount of crap.  It doesn't make me happy. It doesn't make me a pleasant person, but let's face it, does anything make me pleasant? It doesn't encourage me or lift me up.  But I can deal with a large amount of doo doo.  And applying that lesson going forward allows me to be strong in that knowledge.  Strong in knowing that I can handle quite a bit of nonsense and stupidity before completely cracking.
