What have you learned?

kittygrrl · 04-24-2012, 08:56 PM

don't take a bite of fruitcake expecting it to taste different..fruitcake (by it's nature) isn't going to change although hopefully, (at some point) your taste for it will..

that i changed my mind, i do not believe that everything happens for a reason.

i've learned that only i can stop feeling so badly about things that i had no control over, reaching out does not help find answers, maybe because there is no answer

i've learned that carrying the heavy load for the actions of others is no way to live and that it is time to move on

i've learned to let myself be loved and to trust again

I've learned also that not all fruitcakes are equal. They are not all the same. They may look alike, smell alike, even have the same apparent texture, but may be vastly different upon the lips.

Another good fruitcake lesson... is not to take the fruitcake when you really want creme brulee...

today, you know, just one of those days. so when I read the question, my first response was "apparently nothing" (sarcasm!)

but in truth, i keep learning every day WHO I AM. this turns out to be the main thing i needed to know all those years.

I have learned, just today, that I really don't want him gone for 5 days every week for at least a year. I have also learned, throughout life, that I don't always get what I *want*.

And here I thought I was all independent and stuff. Not so much I guess when it comes to him. That sucks. LOL!!!

I've learned a lot over the years, but one thing that surprised me is that I don't always respond to things the way I thought I would. So many times I've thought..if 'this' happens then 'that' is the way that I would react.

For instance, I thought if I ever got divorced or my husband were to leave me I'd end up in a corner crying my eyes out and being scared to death to face the world. Turns out that I'm doing just fine on my own and life is better than I ever thought it would be.

I've learned that sometimes it's best that the thing you really wanted to have happen, doesn't happen at all. But it usually takes a bit of time to figure that one out.

i have learned..

that friends don't always have your best intentions at heart, and that as i grow on this journey of mine, i learn lessons more and more each day.. Seeing things at face value as they happen and seeing the fierce girl in me, who now protects herself and takes care of herself & those she loves..

Part of me, is so proud of the changes within , but the other part of me feels sadness, for having to see it differently now..

But mostly, i am very grateful for true friends, the ones who have your back & love you for all you are.. and who are truly tickled for your happiness, the changes you make in life and celebrate your successes along with you.. i do have some very kickass friends...<3
