A....That has helped your every day life (whether it be an idea/concept, motivational saying, etc) 1. Task scheduling. Instead of making a to-do list, I take the things I need to do and schedule the appropriate time to do them. It makes me much more successful in my days. For instance, I source from 8-9, review applications from 9-10, and so on. It makes me more on target with what I need to get done.
B....from GBCN/The Nest Buying meat in bulk. OMG, the ladies of D&R on the old nest helped me with grocery buying, meal planning, you name it. I was clueless when I first got married.

A. Everybody comes into our life for a reason. It's up to us to be open to the lesson they are meant to teach. The more someone rubs us the wrong way, the greater the lesson.
That one helps me when my frustration with another person meets unprecedented heights. I try and figure out what I can learn from them.
B. I'm not alone.
People are much more open to sharing secrets with others online than face to face.
A. Don't try to hold on to one sided relationships. True friendships won't require tons of work to keep. Not that they don't take effort, but it shouldn't be difficult.
B. Agree with wanderingenough's - I'm not alone. I have been having a rough time with some things and Googling for stories just made me feel worse. Posting about it on GBCN made me realize that I'm not a failure and the same thing has happened to many other people. I see this a lot with other situations too. I hate that anyone has suffered or struggled with anything, but it's so helpful to know you're not the only one.
A. I learned that I deserve to be treated with respect.
B. I learned about healthy dog foods! I used to think that all dog food was the same, but now I know differently and did some research before I chose one for my dog.
A. Money management skills. Without those we never would have survived the past two years.
B. I'm sticking with the fact of learning I'm not alone. I started posting because of my first m/c and looking for support. This place has been the most helpful in my healing process.

A- Proverbs 3:5-6...trusting in God's plan even if it doesn't make sense at the time. This was super helpful these past couple years.
B- Ditto...I'm not alone. So thankful for all you ladies! Today is the 2 year anniversary of our first loss (and by far the hardest "anniversary" of the entire journey...it still hurts) and I am so thankful for the friendships created and support received throughout this journey. You ladies are amazing!
1. Being in PR, I have learned to shape messaging/requests in a way that poses things as a win win for everyone. I feel like this has served me well in life, my job, and marriage.
2. I learned a lot about money from MM and think that board is the only reason I am on track with my retirement savings! I also am so grateful to the TTTC ladies. I never felt like I was alone when going through IF testing and treatment.
