Things I learned since last Christmas Eve, 2007

(Posted on New Year's Eve, but following the Christmas Eve tradition)

• Showing love is more than just telling the truth.
• Life is a distraction.
• "And so it Goes" really does say it all.
• I shouldn't try to write poetry.
• There's a difference between healthy normality and unhealthy repetition.
• It's ok to break the mold.
• Paradox is a heavenly language.
• Maturity is graspable, checking yes or no is sweet, Virginia is God's country.
• There's nothing better for me than what I have right now, just like always.
• Heartbreak is like a bubble.
• Love is a serendipitous renouncement.
• Goals have an important place in God's plan.
• Understanding shouldn't be taken for granted.
