Nothing ever is how it appears.

Even salt looks like sugar.

It's okay to need help. It's okay to accept help. It's okay to ask for help. You're not a failure just because you needed help. I have to say this to myself 1000 times a week. Maybe it will sink in eventually.

Kittygrrl, brilliant! Without self love, how can we ever hope to love others? I used to conflate self love with conceit, but all it really means is learning to advocate, trust, respect and care for ourselves. Once that becomes a habit, I believe we learn to accept nothing less from others.

I've learned that an attitude of gratitude is more than just a platitude.
I've learned that affirmations work, but so do "nahfirmations."
I've learned that yesterday is gone and tomorrow is a mystery, but if I focus on having a good today, it predicts a good tomorrow, and if I keep at it, my yesterdays will make for good memories.

But most importantly, I have learned that you don't have to try on pants to know whether they'll fit. All you have to do is wrap the waistband around your neck and if the two sides connect, they'll fit.

If this had not worked, I wasn't going to post. How on earth did you learn that?

Loving a child is unlike any other sort of love.
I thought I understood what it was to love someone. I have been in love. I have lost myself in love. I love.
Yet, it was my son who taught me the true feeling and sense of love. He was in the icu recovering after an operation gone terribly wrong which left him near death. In the quiet of those silent bedside nights praying for his recovery and praying with all my being that I could take his place, my epiphany arrived: "Love" for me is unconditional, selfless, patient, inviolable and pure. How much this young man teaches me.

Probably Pinterest.

That sometimes you gotta forget the past, give up holding grudges, and give people(including family) another chance.

Anger and resentment stick around and will play hide and seek with you, when you don't want it to.

Lifesymphony 09-25-2018 01:12 PM

Over share
 
As a lady, I don't need/want to be informed of the vulgar street phrases for intimate activities.
...I just want to share them and hear you say "mmmmmm, good girl":sunglass:

JDeere 09-25-2018 04:58 PM

Don't say permanent hurtful thoughts just because you're temporarily upset.

Lifesymphony 09-27-2018 04:46 PM

Never ruin a good apology with an explanation :deepthoughts:

WheatToast 10-19-2018 09:16 PM

what have you learned
 
I've learned that the more fluid my thinking is, the more opportunities I have to learn, have fun and release crusty old beliefs, resentments and out-dated opinions.
I know so much less than I did in my 20s, and much less than back in my know-it all-30's.
Life gets easier when the mind starts to slough off old data to make room for new. Easier still because new data doesn't exactly rush in on a daily basis.
I've learned the older I get, the less I need to prove myself to anyone, and I've learned how mostly everything I encounter is either none of my business, or not my job to fix.

I've learned to always be myself ~ I never go along with what I don't believe in. Living and leading with my own beliefs makes me respect others who do the same . Viva la difference !

I have learned I am the only one on this site who finds the Cassowary (Casuarius) bird from Australia interesting. I posted a photo of it 2 weeks ago (Saturday October 6, 2018) and not one single comment.

:) :) :) *laughing really loud at myself*

(thinking ... and they don't like tannerite either)

please forgive, my sense of humor is riding on and off the wall today ... all this is tongue in cheek ... I have been sort of giggling at everything since I got up ... I am in an exceptionally good mood! ;)

Chad 10-20-2018 08:58 AM

Learned
 
I have learned that if I do my best then things will work out. I am not perfect and I make mistakes but I can do my best to rectify my mistakes and hopefully learn from them.

I show up everyday and I do my best.

JustLovelyJenn 10-20-2018 09:00 AM

I learned that a thirst for knowledge and stimulating conversation is probably the MOST important qualification in a partner for me.

I've learned that if the caller number on my phone has more than 10 digits, it's someone in India that wants my bank account number or my computer password or, even worse, wants me to sign up to get my ducts cleaned.

I've learned that I shouldn't have updated my laptop Lol

Cin 01-01-2021 10:03 AM

Some of what i learned in 2020:

It took a pandemic to help me understand that a hug is worth a thousand words.

I used to think I hated crowds. Now I miss crowded spaces and touching strangers without fear.

We are all people who need people.

Never miss an opportunity to touch someone with your love.

Life is a wonderful and fragile gift and we are all responsible for protecting it.

Our humanity exists in our ability to care for and about each other.

Don't take anything for granted. Things can change quickly and in the most unexpected ways. Live and love in the moment.

Remember a smile also shows in your eyes.

Stone-Butch 01-01-2021 07:00 PM

What have you learned?
 
I have learned that no matter how much you desire or wish for something it will never be yours if it was not meant to be.

akiza 01-02-2021 11:19 AM

I have learned and still do today that there shouldn't be a shame to be scared just as long i don't let it lock me away

Blade 09-12-2021 07:27 PM

I've learned in my next life I will take better care of my body. Not just weight, but sleep more, start eating things that are good for me earlier. Chose a career that isn't as hard on my body. Take better care of my joints.

I've learned to never tell a friend their loved one is cheating on them.....
