A photographer friend posted something on facebook today and I thought it was an interesting way to compare the earlier years of our life, to how it is today.
I've used her examples and added a couple of my own.
When I was 29 ...
- I was a divorced, single parent
- I was receiving welfare payments
- I lived in Griffith
- I had three children
- I rented a commission house for $57 wk
- I feared that I was a failure
- I had part time cleaning work
- I wanted to be happy
- I had no life plan or goals - just going with the flow
- I am married to Adoring Husband
- I live on the Fraser Coast
- I own my home
- We have 5 grown children and 4 grandchildren between us
- I fear Mother Nature
- I have 16 yrs experience with Public Service
- I am a freelance photographer
- I want to continue being happy
- I still have no life plan or goal - still going with the flow
I've learned to soak up and enjoy the good and happy times.
I've learned that the bad and sad times don't last forever.
I've learned that I can cleanse my life of people who make me unhappy.
I've learned that life is too short.
I've learned to never say never.
I've learned to try 'almost' anything once (I draw the line at sky diving and bungie jumping!).
I've learned that it's never too late to find new good friends.
I've learned that there is always plenty more to learn.
I've learned a bunch of other stuff too, but that'll do for now.
Today I'm grateful for most of the things that I've learned along the way, and I'm grateful to still be here to hopefully learn some more.
Nite all.
