to accept everyone for who they are, try to better myself, and dont let the people who have done me wrong continue to affect me in future relationships.

katsarecool · 10-30-2010, 08:39 PM

I have learned some battles are just not worth jumping into. I have learned that I should take care of me first. I have truly learned to love the little things in life. I have learned to keep toxic people as far away from me as possible. I have also learned if we take a stand, stand up for our rights change can happen. And a little cuppa

goes down good before bed.

. . . that some people enjoy being a victim. (Or perhaps they enjoy letting everyone know how badly they think they've been treated?).
While trying not be be less compassionate - I've learned to be more cautious when dealing with this type of person.

. . . that I shouldn't take myself so seriously.

. . . to take everything with a grain of salt.

. . . that cigarette smoke buggers up my sinus a lot more than it used to.

. . . that I really shouldn't buy Hallowe'en candy too early.

. . . that stretchy gloves from the dollar store are a good thing to invest in.

That getting home at 4 am is something I shouldnt do very often.

suebee · 10-31-2010, 12:30 PM

...that loving and being loved in my fifties is WAY better than it was in my twenties!

...that no matter how much you "think" you are in control of your life...a road block always comes along and reminds you of how wrong you are...

..... that ageism even permeates this community in the very same ways as it does outside of it. Sux!

...that the less i care about what others think of me, the higher their opinions of me are. go figure.

I am so much more than just a post in a forum...
Won't you take the time to get to know me?
No matter how hard I try I have never been able to *NOT* lead with my heart...

Guy · 11-01-2010, 10:47 AM

how often my parents actually knew what they were talking about.

Tcountry · 11-02-2010, 02:35 AM

...that some people spend more time trying to find the one person they can spend the rest of their life with rather than learning/enjoying the friends they have...

Pixie · 11-02-2010, 06:50 PM

that sleep, good or bad, or lack of....can really effect your day, mood, and approach to thinking.....

that time flies and you crave to cherish every moment and try to fly with it.

Something, isn't it!

I miss the love of my late 40's and early 50's far more than the one in my
20's. Much more balanced and joyous love! Not that my way long ago partner isn't a great woman, but... we were soooooo young and unfinished! Just life!

I realize that I need to live life and not be afraid of it, because before I know it life will have passed Me by & I'll have screwed Myself

sharonsuburbia · 11-14-2010, 04:22 PM

i came out forever when i was 49 - i do not regret much but the future is in my eyes ever since

katsarecool · 11-14-2010, 06:49 PM

how important it is to pick your battles. To make a point there is no need to hammer away at someone because that will most likely not reach them or change their mind either. That when debating once anger sets in the game is lost. That it is okay not to win every disagreement just agree to disagree and get on with life.
