Dianne at Bunny Trails tagged me for a fun meme, and since I'm too full from eating turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potato casserole, green beans, broccoli salad, rolls and pecan pie to think real hard, or even move much for that matter, this seemed just the thing!

Eight Things I've Learned This Year

Don't take good joints for granted
God is blessing us when we're completely unaware of it
God's in the business of making us holy, not happy. It doesn't always feel so great.
I shouldn't have worried so much over raising kids - they turned out great!
The friendships God intends for me will happen, let them. Go slow.
Honesty is worth it, even when it feels rough sometimes.
A Diet Coke doesn't cancel out a Snickers.
Knitting - the perfect hobby. It'll never take up as much room or cost as much as scrapbooking!
