I have learned that if anyone attempts to keep you from a hug, they need to rethink who they are as an individual. We all need to be touched and a hug is gate wood to peace.

It takes a mutual listening, understanding, and action in any relationship for it to work.

Broken hearts do heal.

The heart has its reasons that reason does not understand.

Do not always trust in and believe what others have to say about someone.

It's best to stay out of the gossip and drama at work.

If someone will talk to you about others, more than likely they will talk to others about you.

JustJo, I appreciate your encouraging words. Thank you.

I think I was a little down after work yesterday when I went out and examined those no-bloom callas and decided I had failed.

Bet you are right and I will get lots of calla blooms to share around town by late summer. They are taking longer than I expected is all.

:)

Learning to choose my battles.

Forgiving
 

Have learned that sometimes one doesn't get a second chance

so I love like share with family friends now.

what have you learned
 

That you should only play with 1 boat at a time in the bathtub (lol)

I've learned that my truck is broken and the codes it is throwing means it could be one of several things bad...anything from the MAF sensor, to the fuel pump (in tank), to the fuel injectors, none of which is cheap to replace. :eek:

ive learned sensors and cars dont go to well together

I've learned to get a VW Rabbit Diesel. !978-84. Parts are still plentiful and cheaper than other foreign cars, no computer codes, mechanical fuelpump, igntion, etc. Can run off grid 45 -55+ mi per gal., and diesel is easier to store than regular gasoline.

Iv'e also learned that trying really hard to recall what you thought you knew by repeating it... Doesn't work very well when you walk to another room. I had to walk back to recheck 4 times then finally gave up.
I forgot my tea that I wanted ... How many hours ago? *Tsk*
I think I need more posties! Now... What kind of car doesn't need Sensors?

If the sensors were worth a damn in the first place, they would "sense" that I need to have my truck running! :brainsucker:

Open my eyes , my ears and keep my heart open no matter what.

I was oblivious too long.

I am no longer oblivious.

Someone, a stranger, flirted with me today. I actually blushed and couldn't find words. lol. My daughter teased me about it. I can still feel. :)

It is so nice to experience less negativity. I had no idea how much there was until we split.

You know when you're getting your eyes checked and the optometrist switches the lenses back and forth and over and again, and your view of the letter chart snaps from fuzzy to crisp to fuzzy to crisp and so on?

I've learned that when I'm depressed or in a bad place emotionally, I constantly make the wrong call. That one! I'll say to the optometrist, when it should be, Let me see the other one again.

I've learned everyone does this and being aware of doing it makes it suddenly stop.

I've learned that I still have so much more to learn.

I have learned ...
 

... to trust my gut instinct.

Also, if a person's words and actions do not match up, forget the words. Words can be cheap. The actions "speak" the truth.

What have I learned? Clearly not enough.

Not to argue with crazy. Just back away slowly and talk to someone else who is sane.

That music lifts me up, and gives me a way into feelings.

Community isn't something I discover and dip into it; it's something I build, and dismantle, and rebuild, and tweak.

I have learned that if I ever want to get Arcstriker out of cop-mode all I have to do is to put on my Latvian hair-drying bonnet...the one with the chin strap...

*Note to self...we really, REALLY need to stay home long enough to get some new towels...*

Apparently not enough yet...

I learned yesterday that black widows move really FAST. Now I need to learn how to discourage her from inviting all her friends and holding the Spider Olympics in my back yard.

Trust your instincts.

If it's too good to be true...it probably is.

I've learned
 

never to say never:blink:

I have learned ...

there are times when it is smarter not to inquire about something glaringly noticible.

I've learned that some people are not what they claim to be, and others surprise you with being more than you ever imagined. Hey it's 11:11

I've learned...

~I am pretty damned crazy when I am hurt, broken or just plain angry. I thought I was past (read better than) that...

~I have the capacity to love again...who knew? I thought that wasn't possible anymore. Huh.

~I am not the best person in the world. I am human, and when cut, I too bleed.

~I am very sorry that I am all of the above and I hope the party(ies) involved will one day forgive me for being insane a little bit for a little while.

~I am stronger every day.

~I can and will heal. I will survive and one day love again.

~Miracles do happen.

i've learned..
 

there is always a little nightmare in every fairytale

I learned...
 

Being given trust, and giving back acceptance, is pretty awesome.

Sometimes I feel I haven't learnt nearly enough.

I've learned that no matter how much I think the problem is someone else's - I need to look at my own side of the street and really that is the only side I can sweep...

finally
 

it's alright to let the walls down
