1. That it's important to stand tall

Even though this Olympic fencer lost her challenge regarding medal-clinching touch, it was how she remained stood tall that impressed me the most.
2. That it's okay to cry

I could barely make it through this post without shedding a tear.
3. That it's okay to try and fail
I always have this post to remind me of that.
5. That everyone looks better in a pink wig

Yes, even Samuel L. Jackson.
6. That I don't know as much about "Love Actually" as I thought I did (also that I still have a huge crush on Andrew Lincoln)

Seriously, I bombed this quiz.
7. That I'm getting way too old to be drinking like this

Then again maybe that's a good thing.
8. That I secretly hate brunch
All it took was one post to remind of of those little things that annoy me most about something that's normally the best part of the weekend. (Friends: Take note.)
9. That there's no excuse for me to keep eating out

Especially when there's this awesome food guide to teach me how to eat better for less.
10. That I need to start working out more
Oh who am I kidding? Where's the ice cream.
11. That sometimes the best ideas come from a challenge

12. That everyone struggles at their job sometimes

If Chelsea can weather the storm, then we all can!
13. That sometimes it's important to use your words

14. That it's okay to dream big

It only took one picture to remind me of that.
