What have you learned? - Page 7

Okiebug61 · 06-06-2012, 10:11 PM

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.

ruffryder · 06-07-2012, 08:31 AM

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.

RockOn · 06-07-2012, 02:43 PM

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.

BoiJen · 06-08-2012, 07:36 AM

Time heals and we may remember how we got those scars, but in the end, someone with a conscience feels it at some point.
I have had 2 people who hurt me come back into my life knowing i would accept them back because i hold no hate, and eventually it comes full circle. Cautiously I walk.

My late Mother taught me the valuable life lesson when I was no more than 7 or 8 years old...

While at the hearing aid service (to fit my eldest brother with hearing aids) I was given a set of ear phones to wear that dampened sound -- closely replicating what hearing loss was like for my brother.

To this day I recall that experience to remind myself that unless I am in another person's shoes I have no clue what they may be going through at any given moment.

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

Blaze · 06-09-2012, 01:02 PM

That everyday is always a challenge. Today is pretty good, last 2 days seizures have gotten the best of memories. Even medicine are not a sure thing...
If you get anything from this post, remember that being able to remember 2 days ago is a fantastic thing. Cause I don't....
But it's ok, cause not everything is worth remembering...

Jesse · 06-09-2012, 02:40 PM

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.

~ocean · 06-09-2012, 03:23 PM

ive learned sensors and cars dont go to well together

Glenn · 06-09-2012, 03:42 PM

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.

Blaze · 06-09-2012, 06:33 PM

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?

Jesse · 06-09-2012, 11:30 PM

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

Breezy · 06-12-2012, 06:10 PM

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.

morningstar55 · 06-12-2012, 06:15 PM

i have learned over the years , how some people treat there animals , abuse /neglect and more........ but today after seeing this poor horse that was rescued with a basket size gapping hole in its neck..you could see thru the other side!!!
i cant believe it was stil alive..walking around and such.. but so so under stress, just brought me to tears.
i think ....... people should have a license to own any kind of pet, and should have a back ground check.

Ginger · 07-31-2012, 11:32 AM

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.

Breezy · 07-31-2012, 02:04 PM

The world surrounding me is a mirror of myself. It doesn't matter if it is good or bad, it is still a mirror of what is going on inside of me.

I can change anything about me anytime I desire.

Why go backwards through life when forward is so much better and brighter.

Progress happens as quickly or slowly as I decide.

When the voice in my mind tells me I can't do "it", the voice is lying.

sara-bera · 07-31-2012, 02:45 PM

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