I’ve learned that labels like ADD, or hyperactivity, or procrastination can damage you for years of your life.

I’ve learned that sometimes your best friends aren’t the people that you hoped they’d be.
I’ve learned that solitude has its rewards.
I’ve learned that telemarketers aren’t bad people. (What does it mean if you spend an hour and a half on the phone with someone trying to sell you something? Is that like anorexic prostitution?)
I’ve learned that my novel is further along then I had thought, and that it’s something that’s wilting and in desperate need of water.

I’ve learned that bad credit is a good teacher.
I’ve learned that in one day, you can accomplish a measurable amount.

I’ve learned that the Bible’s a pretty good read.. It’s the Chicken Soup For the Soul - Old School Style.

I’ve learned that compassion and understanding from those you love is a necessary elixir.
My Quote of the Day: “Each indecision brings its own delays,
And days are lost lamenting o’er lost days,
Are You in Earnest?
Seize this very minute. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
Only engage and the mind grows heated.
Begin, and then the work will be completed.”
-John Anster
So? What have YOU learned today?
Keep it real and focused and true, dear reader, and I will keep along with you. -Jimmy
