WTFB/WTFM

RTFB or RTFM has been a popular and accurate response to many user questions. As I develop new processes or go back to old ones, I have to remember what I did last time to get this or that thing to work. In order to be able to RTFB, someone has to WTFB. Guess in this instance, that would be me.

Not a good blogger

Six months between posts will not win any contests.

Stuff I learned since the last post:
  • Cherish your family. I lost my Mom the day before Thanksgiving and miss her terribly.
  • Make time for the important things. I've tried to be more active with my kids. I've given up several shooting matches for basketball games and Boy Scouts.
  • People are good. I knew this before but appreciate it more. I try to remember this when something upsets me. Empathy can be very calming.
  • It's better to be busy than be bored.
  • It's better to take time to do something right than to rush through and do it wrong.
  • True friends love you even when they don't agree with you on everything.
  • You don't make true friends by disagreeing with them on everything however. :)
  • It's better to be a good loser than a bad winner.
  • Children will learn from who ever will teach them. Make sure you approve of the teacher and the lesson.
  • Cheer for accomplishments, even your opponent's, don't cheer an opponent's mistakes.
  • There is good in every situation. It may be like grasping at straws but it's better than despair.

Not a lot of really new thoughts but I have realized a new appreciation for them.
