five things i've learned in the past five years

1. if there's one, there is likely more--bugs, spiders, mice, ticks...
2. kids know what feels real.
3. there's always something to see if you look.
4. life can change in a second.
5. the more you want, the more it costs.

1. listen to your dog and cat--they know stuff you don't.
2. ambition is overrated.
3. nothing lasts forever so you should enjoy what you enjoy while you can.
4. beauty is everywhere, if you use the right eyes to see it.
5. everyone deserves his or her own art.

and one bonus:

6. most of the time, you will be an unreliable predictor of what's going to happen in your life--so be prepared to be surprised.
