Lessons learnt in 2010

2010 has not been a good year for me. But I learnt a lot of things ... like...

1. My children are wonderful people (I knew that last year, but they reaffirm it every year so it should always be at the top of the list)

2. Women lie about small things (is that a new dress? Noooo - I've had it for ages!). When confronted with the lie, women 'fess up.

3. Men lie about BIG stuff. When confronted they lie again. And so it goes on, one lie after another.

4. Women can be as much of a bully and/or as abusive as men can (that was a shocker to learn)

5. "Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet". Good in theory, in practice be careful who you make friends with. Some people have no friends, not, as they say "because they are so beautiful women are jealous" but because they are abusive A**holes

6. I used to be very strong - 11 years of a bad marriage has made me feel vulnerable and weak - I need to get my strength back - fade in, Helen Reddy, I am woman

7. The kicker - my marriage failing had nothing to do with ME, and it would have been nice if my ex had mentioned that a couple of years ago ... it would have saved me the time, trouble and heartache of trying to 'fix' the 'unfixable'

8. 2011 is around the corner. Its raining. All the 2010 crap is being washed away and flowers are going to bloom and 2011 is going to be great - because I AM GOING TO MAKE IT GREAT - and anyone who gets in my way and tries to impact on my life in negative way is going to get steamrolled over because I am PAST that crap!
