I learned to make my own electrolyte drinks at home, in case I can't get to the store to buy some when I'm sick.
I learned to make my own "sippy" cups out of mason jars to keep myself hydrated during the day. I plan to use them when I'm sick, too! No more fainting, if I can help it!

I learned that although life is difficult, when we look for the good, you can always find some, somewhere, but you have to look.

I'm learning to embrace silence more than quiet.
I'm enjoying cooking again.
I still don't like grocery shopping.
I learned that when working with those who are dying, they want their dignity and their life. Most hope that someone will remember them. I know there are some I will never forget!

Time really does fly when you're having fun!
