"Each day we are blessed with the gift of learning. The question is, do we soak up the opportunity to learn and enrich ourselves, or do we ignore the lessons and let them pass us by?" ~Mama HenEvery now and again I like to write about the things I have learned. After reading the "I have learned" poem that my dear friend Marcy sent me years ago, I try my best to take stock of the lessons that come my way and what I have learned from them. Here are just a few:
1.) I have learned that friends come and go, but family and friends we truly connect with will always be there.
2.) I have learned that getting aggravated with people only hurts myself and my health. I have to take care of myself because no one else can do it for me.
3.) I have learned that life may not always seem fair, but if we truly evaluate what we have, we should feel incredibly blessed.
4.) I have learned that God sends us magnificent gifts each day in the sunrise, flowers blooming, the food we eat, the friendships we share, the glorious sunsets and so much more, but we are so consumed at times with what we don't have and what we want that we miss these gifts.
5.) I have learned that time goes by in a blink of an eye and there can never be too many I love yous.
Thanksgiving Thursday: 1.) Little Chick and my family. 2.) Watching my daughter say please and thank you all the time. She is so polite and kind to others. 3.) For my cousin who makes me feel better just by hearing her voice. 4.) For fresh breezes on warm summer days. 5.) Thank You God for each and every blessing you present us all with every day.
