I learned that sometimes when you do what's right, you'll get pooped on for it, but it's still better to do what's right. And that a handful of true, loyal friends is better than a whole arena full of fair-weather friends, by light years.
I opened a whole new world, on the other side of the world, and found sides of myself over there that I never knew I had and really, really like. I found out that I do still have a heart and (except for a scare that turned out to be a pulled chest muscle) that it works pretty damned well. I found a family, made an exhiliratingly scary dream come true with my trip to Korea, then made another come true with Tiki Tours, then another with BYJ's Ohana. The sky is the limit!
I fell in love about eleventy times, and got in better shape. More than halfway there!
I learned the "GIVE" in Forgiveness goes both to you and to those whom you forgive.
