Daily 5 - Day 337

Today's Daily 5:
  1. Laughing over a text message exchange with a friend from my house church who was going sky-diving today
  2. Actually managing to sleep in a little
  3. A mellow day, some studying and reviewing for midterms next week, and a bunch of housework, but also resting.  Thankful for that - a day where the important stuff got finished, but rest was also involved.
  4. Reading a novel I've read in the past and always enjoyed, and knowing it's only the second in a series of about seven, all of which are great reads.
  5. coming across the "Value Tales" books on the shelves at mom and dad's.  thinking I'm going to have to spend some revisiting all of those wonderful, short biographies of incredible people, written to instill specific values and character traits in kids.  Seriously, these are some of the most wonderful kids books around if you can get your hands on them.

Before You're 30

In less than a month I'll be hitting my 27th birthday.

Last week I came across this article by Jason Boyett at Relevant Magazine's website.  9 Things To Know Before You're 30.

I read through the list and had to smile.  Some of those lessons I wish I'd learned in my early twenties.  For one or two I'm still paying the price-tag of the lesson.  And some, to me, seem to just be slowly coming naturally as I'm open to God working in my life and as I'm growing and changing as a person as well.

My question is this - what lessons do you wish you had learned earlier?  is it one on the list, or something totally different?  what's the best lesson you've learned?
