Ok….it’s funny but I’ve been talking to one of my blog friends about the limited series Dirty John, and we were talking about how some people never learn no matter how many times they make the same mistake. So I guess I’ve learned that eventually I learn when a situation is bad for me
How to say I’m sorry, how to say thank you, how simple kindness is ginormous in everyone’s life, how to be quiet, things are never as important as people or time, and that I am never done learning. (There’s more but it’s early and I’m sweating on a bike!)
I’ve learned that there isn’t enough time to adequately answer life’s truly confounding questions….and even if there were enough time, we still probably couldn’t answer most of them.
By time time you reach my vast age, and i really hope you do, you have probably forgotten most things you ever learned. Possible exceptions being always wear clean undies, don’t get into strange men’s cars, look both ways and remember what is said cannot be unsaid. But Im still learning new things every day while I grow younger.
I have learned that what I feel in my gut should be listened to, what I feel is valid. For years, I have let others try to change that, usually those closest to me.
Delightful post. I think the main thing I’ve learned is that if I sit quietly and listen, people will tell you things. But they also tell you far more than you want to know, so maybe don’t sit quietly. LOL. Happy New Year hugs!
So many things! But a big one is that you get what you give in life. I’ve learned that if you’re positive, supportive, and kind to those around you, that same energy is payed forward 🤗
