(A series that nobody wanted, especially yours truly.)

10 months ago I got poison oak.

And just two weekends ago, I got it yet AGAIN.

So logically, the next step is to never leave the house again, a fool proof plan undoubtably.

However, in all seriousness, I learned a few important things when I encountered poison oak last time, and this time I have a few different take aways.

Just because you can grin and bear it doesn’t mean you should.

Family becomes so much more valuable when you need help.

And, I learned some lessons a second time.

When you physically can’t do something it presents lots of opportunity to be grateful.

You live, you itch, and you learn.

Until next time.

(Or not, I really would not mind leaving this to a two part series.)
