Learning curve

There is a huge learning curve in life.  The older I get, the more I realize how little I know.

I wish that there were a handbook for life…how to deal with different situations in the best way possible.  The fact of the matter is that even if there were a handbook, I wouldn’t follow it.  I’m a hard-headed woman who likes to learn her lessons with blood, sweat and lots of tears.

Whatever I do, I do wholeheartedly.  When I work, I give 100% and I expect no less from my co-workers.  When I am a friend, I will give you the shirt off my back, my last dollar, drive to the ends of the earth if you need me.  When I love, I love with all of my being.  When you hit the point when I am through with something or someone, it is finished.

Sometimes I wish that I could be like other people…but I can’t.  I’m the way that God and life have created me.

When I have a discussion with someone, though the conversation may be finished in their mind, I keep mulling on the conversation, trying to understand what I need to get from the conversation…many times for days.

Right now, my life has a very steep learning curve.  I’m definitely learning lessons daily.  Hopefully I survive the lessons.  It’s a tough season.

Please pray for mom…the second round of chemo is much more complicated than the first.  Pray for dad…he’s worried. Pray for me.  I want to learn the lessons that I’m being taught…but I am a bull-headed woman.
