I'm Learning They say the one thing constant in life is change and I don’t think anyone could argue with that even if we wanted to. Changes are ever constant whether it is physical, mental, financial, etc. Changes can be for the good or bad, for the better or worse but despite its context I’m learning that every change is an opportunity.

Sometimes you’re re-learning things you’ve forgotten. Sometimes you’re simply learning that you still are and will forever more be learning. And that’s what I’m learning. I’m also learning that it’s ok to be learning; in fact you’re much better off learning than not learning. I’m learning that learning is a choice and it’s not always easy (to accept).

Then, that donkey uses those very stones intended to bury him to rise out of the ditch before their very eyes. Or at least you’ve heard a story with a really similar message. Perhaps it was the turtle who slowly yet steadily won the race against the hare who without even realizing got behind while taunting the turtle the entire time for being “faster than him.” Maybe it was a story as simple as that little, blue engine who was determined & successfully made it up that steep mountain he wasn’t supposed to be able to by me...
