DAY 27: 20 Things I'm Grateful That I've Learned

I HAVE posted this in another blog I've previously attempted called 525600 minutes but I think it's still relevant and would like to take literary licence to post it in this blog too:

I KNOW THAT:

1. What you put out comes back all the time, no matter what. Including the garbage on a windy day.
2. Hot cauliflower and zucchini soup should not be filled to the brim in a thermos (or else it explodes and makes a BIG mess alllllll over your boss's desk....oooops! It did earn me the Tool of the Week award so there was achievement). 
3. Failure is a signpost to turn you in another direction. 
4. Trust your instincts. Intuition doesn't lie. 
5. There is a lesson to be learned with everything in life, if you look hard enough.
6. Being creative is one thing but dates and bean shoots are revolting in an omelette. 
7. Doubt means don't. Don't move. Don't answer. Don't rush forward. 
8. Trouble don't last always. 
9. This, too, shall pass. 
10. Don't be scared to try the road less travelled. It IS less jarring to the spine in a 4WD drive, however. 
11. Bacon IS food of the gods. 
12. The moment between the time that you press your lips to a much-anticipated cup of coffee and the realisation that someone replaced the sugar with salt........is heaven and h3ll (censors? what the?) all rolled into one. 
13. That the geeky, nerdy IT role-playing Star-Wars-loving guy will actually become your husband and, ultimately, the love of your life. 
14. Answering the work phone with "1-800-SPANK-ME" will not guarantee you job security. 
15. When the going gets tough, the rocks come to the surface while the wood sinks to the bottom. (I KNOW this one really well, too!) 
16. The only true biological relationship that exists in family begins with the heart.  
17. If you KNOW coconut doesn't agree with you, constantly challenging it doesn't change the outcome. 
18. Banging a door repeatedly and swearing at it will NOT make it suddenly fit (kudos to Kaz for trying this one though).
19. A true friend will tell you when your skirt has accidentally been wedged into the back of your underwear before you have walked down the street a fair bit.
20. When life serves you lemons, learn to make lemonade.
