LifeLessons, AKA the blonde's philosophy on life.

Those of you who have been reading for awhile know that I occasionally post a list called life lessons, which explores the various lessons and experiences that come with growing up. Or at least growing older and spending time in this temporary dwelling we call earthly life. I believe that having a sense of humor, an attitude of contentment, an appreciation for the simple and even formulaic, and a centering of the soul that is in fellowship with Christ is essential to my life and even happiness. I realized that I haven't published a l.l. (lifelessons) list since last August. I think it's high time it's updated. What do you think?
