Greatest lesson learned in 2010

achase123

What was everyone's greatest lesson (or lessons)? 

I learned that I am stronger than I EVER knew.  I learned I can do it all on my own.  I learned that I don't need a man around and am complete without one (with the exception of P of course). 

2010 was a hard year but a great year!  I made so many wonderful friends and have wonderful memories.  And the best thing is that SD is no longer a part of our lives.  I am so grateful for that!

How about you ladies??

Biggest lesson in general: Nothing is as bad as it seems. Everything WILL be ok.

Lessons about myself: I am so strong! I've always thought that I was a very co-dependent person- not true. I'm actually a very independent person who just happens to enjoy good relationships. 

Lessons about my life: I'm so blessed. DD makes me happier than all my other hopes/dreams combined. I have amazing friends and an even more amazing family.

I learned how much of myself I lost in my relationship.  I used to be very strong and independent and able to stand up for myself.  Over the course of my relationship (6 years), I lost that.  I have rediscovered a lot of that strength of the past few months and can only hope that in the future, I never lose those parts of myself again.

I can handle a LOT more than I thought I ever could and there is NO shame in asking for/receiving help when you really need it.

Ask me again next year...I feel like right now I'm in the midst of learning a ton but can't really put my finger on anything I've actually (learned/mastered). I do know that this has been the hardest 8 months of my entire life and I KNOW that at the end of next month it will ALL be worth it...but right now, I'm too deep to see the positive!

All of this.  Here's to an amazing 2011!

I learned to never take anything for granted.

I also learned I'm a LOT stronger of a person than I thought it was. I credit my DS for giving me that strength, even if he doesn't realize it. Everything I do is for him.

I learned that I am a lot stronger then I thought I was and that no matter how bad things get, they will always get better!

1. Grass is never greener on the other side (it just looks that way)

2. Forgiveness (myself in general)

3. Love...I learned about love because I found out what I thought was love wasn't really. And once I found love (DS) is nothing you can ever let go!

4. Never be ashamed to ask for help.

That it's up to me to "rescue" myself, and that no one else can do it for me... and that I shouldn't expect them to.

That I need to be happy with myself before I can be happy with someone else.
