What have you learned?

JDeere · 03-23-2017, 07:42 PM

Life isn't fair, at all, but you live and continue to learn.

I think I am at my best when I am alone.

I often feel the same...

For me, there's a fine line that I must walk so I don't lose myself in the relationship and become resentful. Being alone has its perks but so does snuggling on the sofa. Apparently, for me, the fine line is somewhere on the sofa.

All work and no play makes me grumpy.
I need some fun.

My wish list

That sometimes life just ain't fair. It is what it is. Move on.

I agree, only i am better when i LIVE alone.

An occasional sleepover is just fine but i am never giving up my space again.

That a positive attitude goes a long way!!!!!! Life ain't that bad, seriously. Sometimes we tend to complicate things way too much. We make it hard when it doesn't have to be. I'm learning to go with the flow....

Instead of immediately judging somebody who is being rude or brusque with me, I wonder what they might be going through personally to cause them to be that way.

If we are stressed, we might not always be on our best behavior.

I have learned that it takes awhile for me to truly get over a heartbreak.

I'm an avid crossword puzzle solver type of woman....I've been solving puzzles since I was ten years of age, maybe??

Anyhooo.... I've just learned, in a round about way, or rather it came to me while thinking about annoying pet peeves about puzzles, that most all editions of puzzle books seem to be authored by politically minded conservatives. It dawned on me that this must be the reason why I sometimes see hidden clues to the author's inner biases that seem hardly noticed by the casual puzzle solver, but this epiphany came to me while saying to myself the other day: "WTF is wrong with this person's thinking process?" , when the clue given to solve for the term used was most often a conflation of the term-proper, but also reveals rather toxic types of personal beliefs that go strictly against the grain, as far reaching as women's rights or unclever, well hidden views toward the LGBTQ, or even straight out, laugh in your face -- 'haha, I support the fucker elected to national office."

Now that I see this issue more clearly, I have resolved to never buy a puzzle book that has even one whiff of biased conservatism.

I'm guessing there is a niché market for puzzle books that do not favor biased political process?
