I watched the finale of How I Met Your Mother last night…I know there are two camps here….the “oh my gosh, I LOVED the ending!” and the “SERIOUSLY? That’s it???” I will say I am happy with how it ended. Again, no spoilers here, but the ending got me thinking about life in general. Here are a few of my thoughts.

1. Life never happens how you expect it to.
2. Your journey may start one way and you think it’s going to end a certain way. In someways, it will, but in others it will be far better than you ever imagined.
3. Some friends will stay in your life forever. Through every peak and valley. Every joy and every heartbreak.
4. Some friends will go away for a while. Some will stay away and some will come back. It doesn’t mean they were a bad friend or a good friend. But that’s just life.
5. You never know how something will end until the end.
6. Some things are meant to be, even if you deny them up and down.
7. Sometimes it takes someone else telling you something to make you believe it.
8. Nothing good happens after 2 a.m.
9. When you look back on your life, you can see how everything worked together.
10. Life can be absolutely hilarious and absolutely heartbreaking at the same time.

Hey, look, we actually took a picture of us….together…watching the show!!
