last minute trip to drayton valley, fred eaglesmith in conercert, small town albertain trip home - no words to describe :)

i'm still wearing these sun glasses

i have learnt that i should keep a pen & paper by my bed because my best ideas come in that time just between sleep and consciousness
to respect myself
that i require at least 7hrs sleep/night
to dance (not very well though)
to laugh
that i can't spell & it embarrasses me
that flirting makes me & the recipient feel good
that everyone has some good qualitys
that i am an amalgamation of both the good & bad qualities of my parents
that i can change
that i am an individual
i have learnt that i enjoy red wine
that i like a good piece of gossip now & then
that my best friend is my sister
that age doesn't really matter
that maturity is attractive
that i can provide for myself
that kids want to be heard
that adults want to be heard
that i am not defined by my partner
that i want a partner
that relationships of any kind require compassion, honesty and compromise
i have learnt that i will continue to further my education
that i want butterflies in my tummy
that an intellectual connection lasts longer than a physical attraction
that physical attraction is necessary
that beauty is more than skin deep
i have learnt that i am a romantic
i want my lover to be my best friend
that romantic jesters should be a pleasure, not something seen as having to be done
that my life can be packed into a mid sized car and moved miles away

i have learnt who my friends are
to ask for help when needed
to give help when able
