I've learned:
- I am blessed with some over-the-top, amazing people in my life who mean the world to me.
- guarantees are for appliances.
- not to stray too far from the 'here and now.'
- that potato chips, brownies and soda in one sitting is not a good idea (even though my 'here and now' self would disagree).
- you can deal with difficulty whether or not you have courage.
- gratitude is necessary.
- it's all about perspective.
- the fortune-teller was wrong.
- material items live low on the totem pole.
- finally, and of utmost importance, it ain't so bad that it can't get worse.
