Time goes quickly and we never know what life will send us...Happiness, sadness, tragedy,celebration and on and on. Life is not so much about what God sends us, it is about how we receive it and respond. Mostly, did we learn and grow? Did we retain what we learned for the next time? Unfortunately, for most of us the answer to that is yes and no. We often times learn from the immediate but forget in the long term. Just like dieting we know it is better for us to eat healthy foods and we often times do it in the short term but revert back to bad eating habits in the long term. I am not sure why that is other than we are human, and learning lessons are not supposed to be easy. I wish I could learn every lesson the first time.. life would definitely be a lot easier. But each time we hit the proverbial wall we learn a new facet to the lesson, something we didn't know or get the first time....or second....or third, you get the picture. When is enough.....enough? That answer I believe is different for us all. Like pieces to a puzzle, each of us are unique and can sometimes fit into places that are not a perfect fit. We are never at rest until the fit is perfect. Me, I am still looking for my perfect fit and trying hard not to be to comfortable with the less than perfect fit. I am at the point in my life that it is time to nudge myself forward, work harder at learning so I can turn the page to the next chapter in my life!
