I learned some hard things in January, but will only share a few because many are too personal for the World Wide Web.
- Unexpected death creates a ton of work.
- The more animals you own, the more you will spend in time, feed, and vet bills.
- It is horrible to lose a close friend. Horrible horrible horrible, like losing a family member.
- Cow poo is very slippery. (I hope those jeans will come clean. . .)
- Cowgirls don’t wear leggings, pointy-toed boots, or cowboy hats.
- When you feel an urgency to clear your schedule and complete tasks, follow that prompting, because it is probably God helping you be ready for an emergency.
- If you bake bread and undercook a batch, there is no need to put it back in the oven later. It won’t fix the raw center, even after another hour at the original temperature.

Hard times open up new doors to new things. I know it’s a hard time for you too, Jana. But it’s been such a blessing to get to know you under these circumstances. I’m grateful to have been able to get to know what an awesome soul you are and blessed to have you in my life.
Irene, you are a blessing in my life too. . . it helps to know that good things can come from terrible ones.
#6 is absolutely certain.
Sally, it didn’t make any sense at the time, but now I understand perfectly what was happening.
I’m taking #6 seriously. Thank you for the reminder of what guides us.
Thank you, Louise. It is good to know my month of learning isn’t completely spent on me alone. And it is so peculiar to have no work, other than helping our friend through this terrible time.
