What have you learned?

[Kenna]

What I learned (this week)....not to leave a box of mini cheesecakes in the house when mom is visiting....she knows they are loaded with a bunch of stuff that makes her very sick....but half the box is gone anyway. And I learned not to automatically think the car might be beyond fixing when it took less than $4.00 to solve.... I learned to be humble ... :

Those are my favorite kind of repairs....the ones I can easily afford.

Today, I learned that my kooky, goofy new coworker is more insightful than she appears.

As a culture we mark the New Year as a chance for new beginnings. We do this once a year, and it's important to see that opportunity and grasp it. But in reality we have that opportunity every day, every moment, and with each breath we take. The chance to recreate our lives, and make life more beautiful and true to ourselves. I had to get slapped really hard to get this one. Maybe, someday, I will be able to say thank you. For now, breathe and recreate is the best I can do........

Ojos de Brujo feat Bebe- Nueva Vida

Nueva vida, rayos de luz por mi ventana brisa de otro dia, tengo una caricia...como angelito de la guardia de la cada esquina no imagine que algo tan bello y tan autentico iba a pasar me desperte oliendo a menta sobre arena mojada y sal, run run que alegra mi canto y una vida que viene y otra se va...mira la dulce que acuna con calma, oye susurra cuentos sin fantasmas...
Quien me iba a decir que un amor tan profundo me iba ami a latir en lo mas hondo de mi corazon... este misterio y el perfume y amanecer es nuevo..
Viene y va pero este amor que siento por dentro siempre permanecera..viene y va.. aunque se paren los cuatro vientos que se dejen llevar, aunque este mundo se vuelva loco...te quiero..viene y va...
uuuu de tu mano huelo la felicidad, devoros de instantes sin pensar cancion de amor que llenan mi habitacion repleta...de porque no y sensaciones nuevas....
Viene y va pero este amor que siento por dentro siempre permanecera, aunque se paren los cuatro vientos..viene y va, aunque este mundo se vuelva loco...viene y vaa..viene y vaa...aunque se paren los cuatro vientos......viene y va.....
Nueva vida rayos de luz por mi ventana brisa de otro dia, tengo una caricia como angelito de la guardia de la cada esquina run run que alegra mi canto y una vida que viene y otra se va...viene y va ,pero este amor que siento por dentro siempre permanecera,viene y va aunque se paren los cuatro vientos,viene y va....aunque este mundo se vuelva loco..te quiero...viene y va.....

things i have learned....

you cant ignore that little voice

you cant compromise who you are.

that i need to widen my circle of friends

that i am better off than a lot of other people--meaning i am lucky to have food,shelter,and people who love and care about me.

some things/people just cant change no matter how hard you try or will them to.

I've learned that my son is the one person I share the most with emotionally, and his memory, on things even I forget, is excellent. He has
taught me to believe in "magic", especially the kind I tell him of, when my belief in it was not there at first.
I've also learned that people who push you away are the ones who need you the most, but they won't tell you until they hit a breaking point.
One last thing I learned is that people who say they will never leave, always do, and if they say they will be there, never are.... Until proven.

I understand the emotional connection with your kiddo, it is amazing. As is there memory for what we forget. OMG, I never imagined how much brain power I've lost over the years but she reminds me daily.

I've learned that I can withstand the difficult times in my life if I give myself a chance to experience the events without struggle or negativity.

[Sassy]

I've learned I just might not be ready to let go of those dreams I had when I was 20-something.

When people tell you who they really are; listen. When they tell you what they are looking for and you are NOT it; walk away.

I have a tendancy to think people change. They don't. If that is who they say they are; I need to start listening and walk away.

I once had a woman tell me, "I am going to do nothing but hurt you." (emotionally) Apparently I took that as a challenge to try to prove to her that she wouldn't. How STUPID of me to do that! I let her hurt me....I gave her that power when I didn't walk away....when I didn't listen to her TELLING me what she was going to do.

Ancora mi imparno!! (I am still learning!)

Amen to THIS.

To move to the beat of my own heart, to be as forgiving of myself as I would for another, that unlearning is as important as learning...

[princessbelle]

To take chances. That was a real hard one for me to do.

Also who to listen to.....listen to your heart and feel with your brain. Not the opposite. If your brain is saying naw, while your heart is saying yeah, don't go there. Or reversed, if your brain is saying, yeah it fits but the heart is saying no: Don't go there. They have to be agreeable and in agreement and talking to each other. Not a 50/50 thing either. A 110%/110% thing.

Oh and i learned how to balance on one foot and hold my other foot up to tie my shoe. I may start leaning over a little, by the end of the "tieing", but i can now make it to the final bow.

I've always wanted to learn that.
